Summer Solstice inspired confetti

Yesterday (June 20th) marked 2016’s Summer Solstice – the official start to summer. The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year and many gather to watch the sun rise at ancient sites such as Stonehenge. Typically, summer solstice celebrations are filled with colour and flowers, so on today’s blog we are sharing our favourite colourful Summer Solstice inspired confetti mixes - perfect for a summer wedding.

A rainbow of colour

We love this mix as featured on the Bespoke Bride blog a while ago. Full of colour and texture, this is perfect for weddings with a colourful theme. This pretty mix is made up from Sunshine Kisses, Candy Floss and Frosted Blue with Flamingo Pink, Delilah, Wisteria, Golden Slumber, Duck Egg and Buttermilk larger petals added in.

Yellow Sun

As the Summer Solstice is all about the sun, we just had to share this elegant yellow mix. Made up from Icing Sugar delphinium petals and Golden Slumber rose petals, this mix looks fabulous when teamed with our yellow confetti cones.

Summer Sky

When we think of the summer sky, we think of a beautiful blue with a touch of white cloud. This mix is our popular Summer Sky, which is made up of Icing Sugar and Frosted Blue. This would be perfect for your ‘something blue’. If you want to add a touch of colour, add some Duck Egg blue hydrangea petals or go even bolder and add some Clementine rose petals to represent the sunshine.

Pink hues

Many of the flowers seen at Summer Solstice celebrations are pink as pink is a great colour for summer. We love an all pink mix; this stunning combination is made up of Candy Floss delphiniums and our Flamingo Pink rose petals. The pink tones work really well together, especially when placed in our pink confetti cones and our Shropshire Box.

Sunrise

The Summer Solstice sunrise is the marking of the beginning of the first day of summer. As it goes from dark to light, we have included hints of dark, sunshine and green grass in this mix. Made up from our Chocolate Sunrise confetti mix and Envy hydrangea petals, this is the perfect mix for a natural summer themed wedding.
