Back in my day the newly married couple was blessed with rice as they departed the wedding / reception. From there it went to bird seed, bubbles and confetti. Today's tradition has evolved to the ribbon wand. Personally, I like it.

Wedding Ribbon Wands |
These little ribbon wands are fun to use and simple to create. I purchased a 36" long wood dowel and cut into three 12" sections. After sanding the ends, I painted the dowels in an orange color to match the bride's color scheme.
Next I cut two different ribbons at 16" each and attached them to the top of the dowel with hot glue.
I purchased a package of jingle bells and liberty bells. (I'm assuming they were called liberty bells due to the fact that they were being sold around the 4th of July.) I ran some twine through the top of each and tied them to the dowel. They are secured with a drop of hot glue.
