RIBBON WANDS: WHIMSICAL & FUN
Offer your guests colorful streamers matching your wedding theme to wave as you depart. Floating ribbons make for exciting wedding photos and ensure a lot of fun for you and your guests.
WHERE TO SHOP RIBBON WANDS
Explore the handcrafted selection at The BridesMaidShop on Etsy for custom-made wands designed with bells, lace, and various ribbon combinations. Looking for a DIY option? Gather your supplies locally from Mill End Store in Beaverton or Milwaukee, and use this video tutorial to make your own ribbon wands.
PRO TIP: Show love for Mother Earth with a sustainable wedding exit! Upcycle ribbons, bubble blowers, and light wands from Facebook Marketplace for a more eco-friendly celebration.
BUBBLES: ETHEREAL & ROMANTIC
Create magical clouds of bubbles for a dreamy escape. Your photos will sparkle, especially after dark, casting an enchanting glow on your celebration. Enhance the experience with a bubble blower for added volume and whimsy.
WHERE TO SHOP BUBBLES
You can find mini bubble tubes on Amazon for your guests. Alternatively, check out Lippman Co. in southeast Portland for a local touch.
PRO TIP: Elevate the enchantment with strategically placed bubble blowers for billowing clouds of magical bubbles.
LIGHT WANDS & GLOWSTICKS: ENERGETIC & EXCITING
Illuminate your departure with LED wands, glowsticks, or twinkle lights for a safe and dazzling alternative to sparklers. These lightsticks can double as dancefloor props and create a mesmerizing effect as you bid farewell.
WHERE TO SHOP GLOWSTICK & LIGHT WANDS
Discover a variety of options on Amazon, including fiber optic light wands and large glowstick packs. For local flair, visit Cheers To You Party Goods in Southwest Portland.
