So apparently we arent allowed to throw flower petals on the floor in our church. Now I have heard about no confetti in register offices, but no petals in a church is news to me. Anyone else?

Can you have the in the grounds?
I can understand not inside as someone then has to clear them up
I suspect it's a mess issue - they do get blooming everywhere!
On my last day at work, everyone came and threw confetti over me and I'm still finding bits of it now!

I have seen confetti on the floor outside the church, so I think that's ok. But I was picturing my little daughter walking down the aisle infront of us and throwing the petals. I might offer to have someone clear them up after and use fake ones and see if they let us do that.

I don't think most churches allow flower petals in the church anymore, as it's a hassle to clear up.
You will also need to confirm that you can have confetti thrown outside of the church as well, as some won't allow that either - because the wind can blow confetti laying on the ground back into the church (depending on wind direction and the entrance to the church). If wind blowing confetti back into the church is a known issue, the vicar would normally point out the "safe zone" near the church where this wouldn't be an issue.
Oh no!! I'll have to check with my church now, never thought of that!! I have a vision, like you, of my flowergirls throwing petals in the aisle before I come down.

Lots of churches don't allow flower petals, and very few allow confetti anywhere near them now either. We are allowed confetti but it has to be past two old oak trees which are a fair way from the church doors and also has to be biodegradable xxx

We're allowed it outside our church gates... I'm not surprised your not allowed it actually inside the church x

Do you think they would allow bubbles instead? Obv I need to ask my church for the proper answer... just what are your thoughts>?
CommentAuthorMarrying.Ryan
Outside they will, but I dont know about inside. But that would be pretty, if I would walk down the aisle with my Dad and some guests where blowing bubbles :) Or is that a tad too much cheese? I am worried about other things, that I havent thought about now. Apparently any music to be played needs to be religious, so nothing poppy (her words, not mine lol), but I wanted the traditionals anyway.

Well I'm not getting married in a church I'm getting married in a hall but we have been warned no confetti and no petals to be thrown,if they do then they will keep our £500 bond as a clean up fee,not sure it would cost £500 to employ someone to sweep up on a nighttime but now I'm trying to think how to tell people not to do it,I was thinking a chalk board saying no confetti/petals please ,what you think? I don't fancy them keeping my £500 x
CommentAuthorMarrying.Ryan
Maybe a little note on the invites if you havent sent them yet? I like the chalk board idea. Or you could ask your BMS or Ushers to keep an eye out for confettiers? I would expect if you let people know beforehand, news will spread. 500GBP to clean up???

So relieved our venue doesn't have any rules other than no fireworks, chinese lanterns, or alcohol favours.
