Catholic Wedding

Hi, i think its ok, tho maggie has a point about d balloons floating too quickly. U cld get balloons in ur wedding colours. Wot about releasing doves? i know some celebrities have done this, but am not sure abt animal rights, bird poo etc. Wot about using d confetti, flowers etc at d reception? will dey allow that?

Thank you for your replies, all i know is that my church is very stricked we cant have anything thrown when exiting the church thats why i thought about balloon thing but your right i dont know where i`d put the balloons and who knows it mightbe windy and i may not have anything good pix. Thanks again i guess since the church is new and its like a cathedral type church thats probably why there stricked

Might be a little expensive, and it would only be appropriate in warm weather, but folks have released butterflies.

Not sure about releasing birds. I`d only do that if you were dead sure the birds wouldn`t be harmed during the whole process (or vulnerable in the location you release them). Birds are great little creatures. Don`t hurt them!

I know with my church we are not allowed to have ballons because they would end up all over the neighborhood. As for the flower girl, I think that they are talking about real flowers. I would see if they would let here throw fake rose petals. Most Catholic churches are ok with that. As for butterflies. Also, not a good idea. The thing is it is a real hassle to take care of them and put them in the little boxes for everyone to release. It is very time comsuming. My friend did it and said she would never do it again. I know that Catholic churches allow bubbles as long as they are handed out after the ceremony and not before. They are afraid that someone will spill the liquid. So I would stick with bubbles and have someone hand them out as people are going through the receiving line. Hope that helps.
