To some culture, rice symbolizes, wealth and fertility.
Tossing rice, birdseed or confetti is used to wish the newly married couple a large harvest, abundance in life or many children.
Today many churches do not allow the throwing of these materials for safety or environmental reasons, as a result, a new tradition has emerged; blowing bubbles.
Although many see no harm in the bubbles, their are churches and reception facilities who do not allow this gesture as well. Please check to be sure beforehand.
Rice is sometimes thrown at the newlyweds as they leave the ceremony to symbolize fertility. Some individuals, churches or communities choose birdseed due to a false but widely believed myth that birds eating the rice will burst.
