14 Creative Ways to Make a Grand Exit

Throw Some Flowers


This classic ceremony exit never goes out of style. You can buy or make simple paper cones and fill them with rose petals, or any other kind of petal you like. Then simply leave them hanging at the end of each aisle or assign someone to quickly hand them out as guests exit the church.

Go For a Ride


This bicycle may not be built for two -- but that didn't stop this couple from riding off into the sunset (the bride sat on the handle bars!) We just love the "Just Married" basket at the front of the bike and the fun tin cans added to the back.

Take Cover


Rain or shine, colorful umbrellas can make for a great photo op. This couple handed them out to the bridal party to form an arch as they left the ceremony.

Pedal Away


If you're not exactly sold on the idea of pedaling yourself (we know -- wedding dresses can be heavy!) try out this unique getaway: a rickshaw. This couple even personalized their ride with their monogram and tied it into the rest of their wedding colors.

Make a Getaway


Nostalgic for the "good 'ole" days? Then why not bid adieu to your guests in a vintage ride, like this one. Just don't forget to deck it out with plenty of tin cans, ribbon, and a homemade "Just Married" sign.

Blow a Bubble


If your venue won't let you throw rice (and we know that plenty of them won't!), consider handing out cute bubble bottles to your guests for a light, whimsical finish to the ceremony. You can even buy bubbles with personalized labels to display your names or new monogram

Take a Ride


When it comes to destination weddings, depending on the location, cars may not be the most popular option. For this seaside affair, it was much easier -- and way cute! -- for the bride and groom to head off into the sunset on these bright red scooters.

Light the Way


If you left the ceremony with your guests throwing rose petals, you simply have to give them something else to do at the end of the reception. Sparklers like these will look great in photos and your guests will have fun holding them for you while you two run under the arch.

Take a Back Seat


Golf carts, like this one, can be a clever --and totally practical -- way to leave your ceremony if you're holding the wedding at a country club or golf resort. The best part about this ride is that you'll be able to face all of your guests as you wave goodbye.

Row Your Boat


While it may not be the speediest getaway, this is definitely one of the most romantic. If you can, why not leave your ceremony or reception by water, either by climbing into a row boat like this one or hopping into a larger boat or yacht.

Go Vintage


An old-fashioned car like this one will not only help you exit your ceremony, but you'll get plenty of attention during your drive to the reception. Old cars are a great way to come and go in style -- just make sure you have an alternative rain plan if the car has an open roof.

Hop a Ride


Think San Francisco is the only place you can hop a trolley? Think again. There are plenty of places around the country where you can rent a trolley, like this one, for the day to cart you and your entire bridal party around. The "Just Married" logo at the back adds an extra cute touch.

Make a Splash


At the end of their afternoon wedding, this bride and groom led the way by taking a quick dip in the ocean before leaving their guests for the day. If you're having a beachside wedding, going for a swim will certainly make for a dramatic exit. Plus, if you're up for it, this is the perfect time to get those "trash the dress" photos.

Get Carried Away


Nothing is quite as romantic as the idea of the bride being carried over the threshold by her groom. While we realize he may not be able to exactly carry you from the reception to your honeymoon suite, posing for a few photos, like this one, will definitely be album worthy.
