At Blueberry Hill, we cherish every moment of your wedding day, but there’s something truly special about the grand exit. Over the past 11 years, we’ve seen exits as unique as the couples themselves. Your send-off is more than just the final moment of your celebration—it’s an opportunity to leave a lasting impression and create a memory you’ll treasure forever. Whether you’re dreaming of a magical, show-stopping farewell or a simple, laid-back exit, there’s a style to perfectly match your wedding vibe. From fun and festive to elegant and romantic, we’ve curated a collection of unique ideas to inspire the perfect finale to your big day!
1. The Sparkler Exit
A classic for a reason! Picture you and your partner walking through a radiant tunnel of sparkling lights as your guests cheer you on. Sparkler exits create a magical atmosphere and look absolutely stunning in photos—especially during nighttime receptions.
Pro Tip: Use long sparklers (at least 20-24 inches) to ensure they last longer and provide safe distance from flames.
2. Glow Stick Exit
For venues that don’t allow open flames, glow sticks are an excellent (and colorful!) alternative. Guests can wave bright neon lights as you head out, creating a playful and vibrant vibe. This option is particularly great for modern, non-traditional weddings or couples hosting a reception with a club-like atmosphere.
3. Bubble Exit
Why save bubbles for just the ceremony? Imagine being surrounded by hundreds of delicate, floating bubbles as you leave. Perfect for daytime weddings, bubble exits add a whimsical, childlike charm that everybody—from the kiddos to your grandparents—will love. They’re also completely mess-free and eco-friendly.
4. Snow Exit
Planning a winter wedding? Make it extra enchanting with a snow exit! We at Blueberry Hill have 2 faux snow machines, you can create a magical snowy scene for your exit. This works especially well for mountain or seasonal winter venues, bringing major Hallmark-movie vibes to your celebration.
5. Streamer Exit
Want something bold and playful? Hand your guests colorful streamers or ribbon wands! They’re a fantastic upgrade from traditional confetti, as they’re easier to clean up and add a dynamic pop of color to photos. They work beautifully for daytime weddings or receptions with festive, playful themes.
6. No Formal Exit – Make It Unforgettable Anyway!
Who says you need a grand exit at all? Instead of a traditional send-off, you could bid farewell to your guests as the party naturally winds down. This can also make way for other fun end-of-night moments, such as a mix-and-mingle cocktail or late-night snacks. If you’re keen to stay until the party is over, this relaxed option lets you truly soak in every second.
7. The Last Dance Exit
A last dance exit is one of the most emotional and meaningful ways to wrap up your night. Here’s how it works: clear the dance floor, invite your guests to form a circle (or step outside), and share one final intimate dance with your partner. Afterward, head out as your guests cheer and applaud. This idea is perfect for couples who want a low-key yet heartfelt ending to their wedding day.
A Personal Touch Goes a Long Way
Once you’ve chosen your exit style, consider customizing it to reflect you as a couple! For example:
Pick songs that’ll play during your exit to set the tone—whether it’s a romantic ballad or an upbeat anthem.
Coordinate your attire with the vibe of your exit (like cozy faux fur coats for snowy exits or light-up shoes for glow stick exits).
Make Your Exit Unforgettable
Each of these ideas offers a unique and memorable way to wrap up one of the most important days of your life. Whether you’re stepping out under the warm glow of sparklers or sharing a quiet last dance, your wedding exit can be the cherry on top of an already perfect celebration.
Still looking for inspiration? Talk to your planner or photographer—they might have additional exit ideas tailored to your venue or theme. Whatever you choose, make sure your exit reflects your personality and leaves you and your guests with a moment to remember forever!
