White doves are a symbol of peace, love, faith and fidelity, and the release of a pair of doves or a flock of doves by the bride and groom will signify they are about to embark on a new life together. Such a romantic display is sure to have all your wedding guests wanting to capture the moment on camera. It can also make an incredible surprise wedding gift to a bride and groom. Imagine their thrill as they complete their vows and are presented a pair of doves to be released along with the sight of doves taking flight in celebration of their marriage. As an alternative to the throwing of confetti or rice the release of doves would be a great environmentally friendly alternative to celebrate a couples union – being both clean and safe for the environment. The two main options for releasing your wedding doves are the 'hand release' and the 'flurry (or flock) release'. The 'hand release' is simply the bride and groom each releasing one white dove at the same time. The 'flurry (or flock) release' is the same as the 'hand release' with the addition of a larger group of doves being released from a box, these in turn join up with the first two doves.
