Throwing rice or other grains after the ceremony represented fertility, offspring and prosperity. A tradition originating from the East. This ritual dates back to Ancient Rome, as does the wedding cake. All of this had its symbology related to good luck. Over the years, this tradition has evolved into what we know. And as with everything, new trends have emerged like flower petals… And olive leaves. Today we propose an alternative to rice for the ceremony departure on your wedding day. What do you think?
