28 Unique Ideas for Your Wedding Exit

All eyes are on you as you walk down the aisle, have your first dance, and cut into your wedding cake. So why should the last few minutes of your big day be any different? Go out with a bang—or rather, some sparkles, bubbles, flashing lights, or one sweet ride. The end of the reception is a time to celebrate all the fun that's been had and that you're about to embark on the next chapter of your life as newlyweds. Signal that pivotal moments with an organized send-off outside your venue or a cool getaway car. Better yet? Consider both!

We love the unique ways modern couples are choosing to end their receptions. After all, pretty exits not only look like fun, but they often make for some pretty epic photos. If you're thinking about finishing your celebration with one, we've rounded up some of the best ideas to consider—everything from ribbon wands and massive sparklers to a bevy of balloons are all fair game. Want to ride off in style instead? You'll find vehicles for your motorized exit—but whether you by land or by sea is entirely up to you. The one thing all of these exits have in common? They'll ensure that the party ends on a high note.

Here, a bride and groom, who initially thought they'd leave the scene amidst a shower of confetti, were surrounded by colorful smoke bombs at the suggestion of planner LB Events. As a juxtaposition to the modern and bold exit, the twosome then hopped into a classic Jeep with wood paneling. If you like this idea, get excited, because there are a whole lot more where it came from.
