Let's finish the wedding with air
Balloons are the easiest, most affordable, but at the same time beautiful and spectacular way to end a festive evening. If it's dark outside, we use LED balls. They twinkle beautifully, and each guest will be able to send their wishes to the young ones into the sky. This option is completely safe, both for adults and children, and for the environment.
If the banquet is taking place near open water, and there are no houses or trees nearby, then you can safely choose heart-shaped sky lanterns. They are fabulously reflected in the water and fly quite high.

Enchanting is also an option
The most standard and already somewhat banal way is to end the holiday with fireworks . But everything will depend on its duration and quality. You can surprise guests only with originality. And if some inscription lights up in the sky or hearts flash, then it will be a truly fantastic point.

In winter, sparklers or special cannons placed along the road are suitable. Sparkling light will look great in the photo. Along this light path, the young people head to their car.
Delicious - cut the cake
The traditional way to show guests that the evening is coming to an end is to cut the cake. The cutting is preceded by his bright appearance, accompanied by music, using small fireworks.
The bride and groom symbolically make the first cut; the waiters do the rest. They treat and lay out pieces for all guests, or pack them in special boxes so that they can take the delicacy with them and try it at home.
Traditionally we bring the wedding to an end
How else can you put an end to it? Refer to traditions. A very soulful ritual is the removal of the bride’s veil by her mother-in-law, covering her head with a scarf, followed by a gentle dance. The bride dances in a circle of friends and tries on a veil for each one in turn.

You can also light the family fire at the end of the evening. The parents of the bride and groom give the newlyweds burning candles, with which they light their large candle, symbolizing the creation of a new family.
Unexpectedly is a good way
You can surprise your guests with an interesting and unexpected way to leave your own wedding. If we are talking about winter, then you can go on a snowmobile or on a horse-drawn sleigh.
If the wedding is taking place near water, then you can sail away by boat or speedboat. There is always the opportunity to rent an original car, which you don’t see every day on the city streets. These could be Cadillacs, vintage cars, or cars generously decorated with fresh flowers.
Entertainment
People who are familiar and close to the newlyweds gather at the wedding. Relatives and friends of different ages do not always know each other, so the main task of the presenter is to unite and make friends, and there is nothing better than joint competitions. If everyone is having fun, no one tries to drink an extra drink, and the wedding will not end in a showdown.
When choosing entertainment with balloons, consider the style of the holiday. At a gangster party or a wedding in a rustic style, retro balls will not be appropriate - in the design, in the script. Try to avoid competitions with a prize in the form of alcohol: the host’s task is to amuse, not get the guests drunk.
Musical end of the evening
The bride and groom can sing a song, their own or their favorite one. After this, announce the end of the evening, thanking everyone who came to them and shared the joy of this day.
You can change your clothes, thereby making it clear that the gala evening is coming to an end. Dancing an incendiary choreographed dance, maybe even with the participation of friends, will be a very original solution.
Romantic - original
Who said that you can only float wreaths on the holiday of Ivan Kupala? At a wedding it looks original, gentle and very romantic. Naturally, this procedure should be done by the bride with her friends, to beautiful lyrical musical accompaniment, and maybe even to live singing.

How to end the celebration: interesting ideas
Balloons
Despite the fact that launching balloons filled with helium or hydrogen into the sky is a relatively simple process to implement, it can be a very interesting and romantic final element of the wedding program.
Balloon launch options:
- Before being released into the sky, guests can be invited to write wishes to the young couple on the balloons themselves or on small cards attached to them on ribbons.
- Launching balloons in a contrasting color will look impressive. For example, the newlyweds will have red ones, and the guests will have white ones.
- You can launch balloons in the colors that best suit your wedding, or prepare balloons with LEDs that will illuminate the night sky.
An interesting option for ending a wedding could be a surprise balloon. To do this, a large ball is filled with small balls of various colors and shapes, rose petals, and confetti. You can prepare several of these large surprise balls and hang them from the ceiling of the banquet hall. At the right moment, the large ball bursts, as a result of which everything it was filled with scatters from it in different directions and slowly falls on the newlyweds and guests. An interesting and effective climax is guaranteed.
Launching wreaths into the water
If the celebration takes place near a body of water, and the chosen wedding style is suitable, at the end of the wedding evening you can launch wreaths into the water, while making your cherished wishes. This can be a large common wreath or a wreath from each guest. You can make them from field herbs, flowers, and place a lit candle inside. This ending to the wedding will be very emotional and romantic.
sparklers
Another spectacular wedding finale can be sparklers, which have many advantages:
- they are safe, they can be given even to children;
- can be used both indoors and outdoors, even in windy weather;
- Due to their relatively low cost, using them to complete a wedding is not a problem.
options for using lights, for example:
- They can be used as an independent wedding decoration, or as an addition to other types of special effects.
- During the final dance, guests, holding sparklers in their hands, can make a beautiful sparkling circle around the newlyweds.
- You can ask guests to line up in a living alley, along which the bride and groom can beautifully leave the wedding along the glowing “road of love.”
Fireworks
Fireworks can become an unforgettable final chord of a joyful celebration. Such an enchanting show, accompanied by romantic music, will give you and your guests a sea of positive emotions and will be remembered for its grandeur for a lifetime.
Of the possible varieties of such special effects you can order:
- Ground-based fireworks (figurines, fountains, rotating pyrotechnics, beautiful inscriptions). Such a spectacle, no more than 5-7 m high, is not inferior in beauty to high-altitude fireworks. In addition, ground structures can be placed, for example, along the path along which the bride and groom will leave the restaurant.
- Park fireworks. In this case, medium-caliber pyrotechnic charges fly to a relatively low height - no more than 50 m.
- High altitude fireworks. The shells open high in the sky and form beautiful multi-colored shapes, creating an incredible spectacle.
If desired, and also if the conditions of the place where the celebration is taking place allow, the types of fireworks can be combined.
Colorful fire show
You can end your wedding evening in an original, bright, very spectacular way with the help of a fire show. And although this is quite an expensive pleasure, the result is worth it. A spectacular performance with fiery tricks, dynamic music, and fascinating performances by professional artists looks large-scale and spectacular, creating a simply enchanting mood. The newlyweds will not only be able to enjoy the colorful performance, but also get amazing photographs as souvenirs against the backdrop of the blazing lights of the fire show. It is clear that such a show must be ordered in advance, and it is important to specify all the features of the program.
Heartfelt - at the end of the wedding we give gifts to the guests
Many couples want not only to receive gifts on this important day, but also to give gifts to their dear guests themselves. Options for surprises are thought up in advance. As a rule, these are either cups with portraits of young people or themed calendars.
Bonbonnieres filled with sweets and decorated with fresh or artificial flowers are very popular. At the end of the evening, the bride and groom say their last word and each is given a gift.
Launching balloons into the sky
At the end of the celebration, right after the festive fireworks or fire show, it is time to launch the balloons. Of course, this can be done in the daytime - at the discretion of the newlyweds - but clusters of pure white matte or shining balls launched into the starry sky look much more romantic. Guests can also take part in this event - then the number of balls increases. Launching balloons at a wedding is a worthy end to the holiday, leaving only joyful memories in the soul.
Boutique Hotel MONA takes over the organization of the holiday; our decorators will be happy to help the newlyweds with the selection of balloons for the wedding and decoration of the banquet hall. At the request of the newlyweds, we also provide exclusive decoration of wedding rooms.
