Re: jumping the broom

  • There are a few threads about the broom where to find decorate etc You jump the broom t the end of the ceremony before you procession out Or at least that is what I have seen We won't be jumping the broom on of the few things we agree on lol

  • I'm Caribbean he is Haitian...i think we're going to do it...I made a broom just in case....we're going to do it when they announce Mr & Mrs etc we'll jump it on our way out. I made my broom after purchasing the materials from Micahel's the pic is in my Bio under DIY.

    I got this same exact broom.  At first I was going back and forth about maybe adding some decoration to it, but now I may leave it like it is.

  • @BlissPhilly- You're welcome! If you want to add some of your wedding colors to it like some ribbon should be ok...

    @Sophia1913- I'm the same way but I think I might add some purple flowers(Purple is one of my wedding colors)
