I really don't like the idea of restraining winged animals and chucking them into the air hoping that they recover their state of mind to fly. I'm not going to hold that dove. So I was actually rather comfortable to just sticking to the throwing of petals after the wedding. It's actually rather romantic.
But THEN, I got this visual of balloons flying into the air. I don't know when - I think it was one of those flashes I get while stuck in traffic. But anyways, I thought that it would be fun to see balloons being released outside the church. Pale yellow and grey. Or pale yellow and white. Or even just pale yellow.
Now the problem is - what do we let go / throw outside the church? Petals? Balloons? It's a battle between what goes down and what goes up. I don't know which is more dramatic. Well, there's no room for error on the photographer and videographer's side if we release balloons. That's like a one-time big-time thing. Could I possibly do both? How and in what sequence?
Grr. I can't figure it out. Hate it.
