Vintage Car Exit

You can’t go wrong with a classic exit in a vintage car. Many different transportation companies have these options in addition to shuttles for your wedding party and guests, so it would be an easy item to add!

Flower Petal Exit

Not every grand exit has to be at the end of the night! The flower petal exit is always a great option and can be used as a fun way to walk back down the aisle when you’re exiting your ceremony. You can also incorporate elements of your floral design here and use petals or leaves that were used to create your bouquet, whether that be rose petals, fall leaves, dried lavender, etc.

Glow Stick Exit

Another popular end of the night exit is the glow stick exit. This is a great choice because you can utilize the glow sticks before your grand exit too! Hand them out to your guests on the dance floor and let them dance the night away before reusing them for your reception exit.
