Hear from couples about their send-off experiences.
Joyful Send-off has spoken with many future brides and grooms and married couples, and heard that there is great interest in having a beautiful ceremony that is also respectful of the environment. It is a legacy a couple can start together at their wedding–and grow and share throughout their marriage.
Listen to what these couples have to share about how they wanted their weddings not only to be personal and memorable but also have less impact on the environment.
Joyful Send-off encourages send-offs that will not create litter.
Rice and bird seed, when scattered on a hard surface, can create a slipping hazard, and rice is also hard to clean-up. So, couples may find many venues are not allowing these practices.
Sky lanterns and non-biodegradable confetti, glitter and sequins also create litter.
Released balloons are of particular concern since 100% of balloons, and their attachments (plastic valves, disks, ribbons, LED lights being place inside), return to the Earth or the ocean.
