One of the most famous traditions to close the wedding ceremonies is to pour rice to the bride and groom as they exit the church, representing the good wishes from the guests such as prosperity and abundance for the newlyweds. However, there have emerged many other new proposals to add that touch of illusion and magic to the closure of such a special celebration.
One of these tendencies is to make a balloon release with helium filled balloons. The idea is to ask a wish that is symbolized by the balloon that floats into the sky. This can be done in different ways, such as giving the guests the opportunity to write cards with their wishes for the newlyweds before entering the ceremony and inflating the balloons with the cards inside. You can also hand a postcard or a photo that is tied to the balloon, or simply say some thanking words and ask each guest to think their wish before they release the balloon. They say that as the balloons float into the sky, those wishes will become true.
This is highly recommended to do with round balloons, in colors and tones similar to those in the wedding decoration. Another alternative are light balloons, especially if the wedding is at night and there is no natural light when the release is made.
