So I asked the church I am using for my ceremony (not my home church) if rose petals can be thrown & they replied 'we would prefer you did not, bubbles are ok.' I am thinking about doing it anyway.. Any thoughts? People have said do it anyway but I'm feeling guilty!

personally, i wouldn't do it.. the most likely reason they don't allow it is because its a liability.. in case anyone trips on the petals they could get sued. if god forbid something happens you don't want to get yourself in trouble and potentially be held liable. (im a lawyer so my mind automatically thinks the worst bc i see all the ridiculousness people sue/try to sue for, lol)
you could try talking to them about it though, if they say they prefer you don't do it that is not a flat out no.

A friend of mine used poppers/streamers. Once you popped them, the streamers remained attached to the popper so clean up was a breeze! I was thinking about this, but now I'm all up in the air.

I know at my church we were flat out told no petals or runners due to a slipping/liability hazard AND because our ceremony is at 4:00 & they have a 5:30 mass, so no one would be able to clean it up. That being said, I definitely wouldn't do it - especially since you asked and they did tell you that they preferred you didn't.

I feel like they politely told you no and you need to respect that.

my church straight out said no so we're having our flower girl carry a basket with a bouquet inside. And we are doing ribbon wands with bells instead of bubbles because I heard with the material my dress is that the bubbles might stain it (something to look into)

What about releasing butterflies when you get outside?

Thank you ladies for the suggestions! I like the streamers or ribbon wand ideas I am going to look into these more.
