Broke-Ass TV ep. 6: Unique Alternatives to the Petal Toss
Things got a little hot and heavy around here for the past few days… so let’s lighten things up a bit with a frothy and fun new episode of Broke-Ass TV, exploring the age old tradition of the flower petal (or rice) toss at weddings, and how to spice that up with a modern and personal twist!
This video is extra funny (to me, at least) because it was one of the first videos we ever shot, so please enjoy watching me looking super nervous and saying the word “magical” wayyyy too much… and Hunter looking as though he is on opium (his words, not mine). HA.
Seriously though, our whole first set of videos alternate between us looking like deer caught in headlights, and lost children who’ve not slept in weeks. And this is just the beginning 
Which explains why we launched the series with later videos, to save our embarassment until we had you deep in our video clutches. Mwahahaha!
Enjoy the awkwardness, I mean, uh… great tips!
Did we miss any great alternatives? What are you using for your big send off?
Ironic confession time: we did flower petals! My sister surprised us with it, and I’m so glad she did. Check out the gorgeousness that ensued…

I've never thought of mini poms. I love that idea.
I've also read that you can use Rice Krispy's as an alternative to rice and bird seed because it floats in the air!
I wanted to do bubbles, but my mom vetoed that I idea because she said the soap tends to stain fabric if they land on you. I was kind of bummed because I thought it was such a cute idea, but her point made sense.
Love these ideas! Cute and super cheap just what I like lol. The pom poms are so cute and I haven’t heard that one before love the new idea. Thanks!
We did the wedding wands and the it was absolutely magical. They were so cheap and easy to make, and had a fun and whimsical feeling as we left our venue!!
