The wedding toss is a lovely tradition that dates back to Ancient Rome. Throwing things at a newly wed couple is intended to symbolize good luck, fertility and abundance. It is also a wonderful way for your guests to partake in the ceremony and share in the festivities. Wonderfully fragrant lavender wedding rice is a popular alternative to rice or birdseeds. It contatins 100% pure lavender buds which are completely biodegradable. It won't harm birds or the environment. Imagine showering the happy couple with a gentle rain of lavender buds at the most memorable moment. And as the lavender buds are crushed underfoot, the delicate fragrance is released again and again.
