Toss the Tradition: How Guests Throwing Petals Can Transform Your Wedding Ceremony
When couples think of the traditional flower girl, they often picture one little one sprinkling petals down the aisle. But what if you invited your guests to be a part of this moment too?
At The Heritage at Milford Family Farm, we love helping couples create interactive, personal ceremonies. One beautiful idea we’ve seen? Supplying real flower petals in paper cones or baskets and asking all your guests to toss them joyfully as you walk back down the aisle as newlyweds.
Why It Matters
This small detail does more than look great in photos. It invites your loved ones into your celebration in a physical, emotional way. Everyone participates in the joy, and the result is an unforgettable moment filled with laughter, cheering, and flying petals.
It’s also a great option if you don’t have a flower girl or want to do something a little more unexpected.
How to Pull It Off
Place cones or small baskets filled with flower petals on each guest’s seat
Ask your officiant to cue the toss during the ceremony closing
Use real, biodegradable petals for an eco-friendly, beautiful moment
