    The weddings I've been to have used flower petals.

    Years ago, on a home and lifestyle show called Burke's Backyard (this is an Aussie show lol), one of the presenters would show how plants could be used in our everyday lives or suggesting more environmentally friendly alternatives-for instance, what plants can be used as toilet paper (yes I kid you not). One of her segments involved alternatives for a wedding....and believe it or not, one of them was actually rubbish! (the priest ducked under his skirt twas hilarious)
    And what plant can be used as toilet paper pray tell?

      Be careful with flowers, too. My husband and I were at a wedding where they used lavender, and we both ended up sick as dogs from an excess of lavender scent.

      There was no way out of the church to escape the scent, and we ended up unable to go to the reception because we were just both too sick. Not just normal allergens (eyes and nose running, skin feeling raw), but there was SO MUCH lavender that we both had temporary mood disorders. I was a bitch to be around until it passed.
      Seshat's self-help guide:
      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        Anything with large-ish leaves and non-poisonous, really. Maples work well, and are almost everywhere in North America. Another popular one that I forget the name of, is this plant that looks like a small lily pad, but grows out of water. [/scoutlore]

          maybe they should start throwing cooked rice instead.

            According to the Robin Williams character in Jumanji, banana leaves.
