Confetti.

I absolutely love confetti! It’s such a fun, happy part of the day! Here are some tips to ensure it all runs smoothly!

Buy more than you think you’ll need… Then double it!!

Honestly, the more confetti you have the better! Forget filling tiny packets of the stuff! Fill two buckets full of it, so your guests can grab the biggest handfuls they can! It’s much more eco friendly without the packaging too! Have an usher, bridesmaid, pageboy or a flowergirl hand this out!

Check with your venue beforehand what you are allowed to throw and where, as there may be some restrictions or they may not allow confetti at all!

Paper confetti.

Paper confetti is great! You don’t need as much of this! Especially those brightly coloured dots - this kind really floats around and lingers in the air! Do bear in mind that not everywhere allows paper confetti though, especially churches so best to check beforehand!

Petals.

Biodegradable confetti - petals, dried flowers, flowerbuds - these are all great to throw and more accepted by certain venues! Most places will allow biodegradable confetti even if they don’t allow the paper kind! You will need more of this, as it falls to the floor faster than paper!

Rice.

I’ve only ever been to one wedding where the guest were handed paper cones full of rice to throw at the bride and groom! This was in Greece and it was amazing for reactions!!

Lavender.

…Yes lavender!! One of my couples had their guests throw lavendar at them and it was one of the best confetti moments because not only did it look amazing, it smelt absolutely gorgeous too!!!

Bubbles.

Believe it or not, I’ve not actually photographed bubbles instead of confetti, but it’s a great alternative in my opinion, if you would prefer something a bit different or if your venue doesn’t allow confetti in the grounds!
