I always see people throwing rice at weddings, but when I've checked, most venues dont allow this?

so are you allowed or not?

Each venue will be slightly different dpending on their rules and regulations. If you're indoors rice could be a bit of a slipping hazzard. I would suggest bubbles for the guests. It creates a fun atmosphere, makes for amazing photos and is safe!

Rice was definitely the original tradition, but unfortunately it can be dangerous - firstly as a tripping hazzard but also the last thing you want is rice hitting your face/eyes and you end up with a teary eye or mascara streaks! As we are a venue that has wildlife e.g. ducks, birds etc we also find its not good for their bodies! We recommend bubbles and rose petals as fantastic alternatives (and they also tend to show up in your photos even more clearly than rice!)
