How To Get The Most From Your Wedding Confetti

Wedding planning can be a daunting time, there's lots of think about, and where do you start? Once you've nailed the big things, like the venue, setting a date, doing the dreaded guest list and finding your perfect dress, there are lots of fun finishing touches you can enjoy.

Our couples tell us, the confetti moment is by far one of the best parts of the day, when you can guarantee everyone is going to be smiling and you're going to get a memory maker photo!

1 - Get enough confetti

Provide enough gorgeous petal confetti for at least half of your guests to throw, this will ensure you get that all-important memorable photo. A litre of confetti is enough for 10-12 handfuls, so if you've got 100 guests we'd recommend 5 litres of confetti, that's enough for 50-60 guests to throw! Of course if you want all your guests to throw, the more the merrier!

2 - Have it where and when you want

There is no right or wrong when it comes to where and when to have your confetti moment. Some couples choose to walk down the aisle as guest throw, this gives their photographer multiple opportunities, others prefer to be surrounded by their guests for one big throw, and it's becoming increasingly popular to save the confetti moment until the first dance. Whichever way you celebrate your confetti moment, make sure to have a chat with your photographer and venue before the big day. They'll be able to give their expert knowledge of where and when is best to get the confetti moment of your dreams.

3 - Make it unique

Your wedding day is unique and so is your confetti moment. Match your confetti, cones or pops to your wedding scheme with a wide range of colours, designs and even an option to personalise your packaging.

4 - Decorate your venue

Scatter natural petal confetti around your venue and reception for decoration. Sprinkle delicate petals onto your tables for a bold colour pop or create a petal path aisle to walk down before you say "I do. 

5 - Surprise your guests

Surprise your guests with the unexpected and make a bang with a Confetti Cannon filled with your choice of biodegradable petal confetti. Your groomsmen will be fighting over who gets to launch the cannon and everyone can enjoy being surrounded by beautiful fluttering petals.

6 - Have fun!

Have some fun with your guests and confetti; who said confetti was just for the bride and groom? Order some additional confetti for your photo booth and let your photographer capture you playing with confetti. You could take a handful and blow it towards the camera, have the bridal party throwing confetti over each other or see how creative the children can get and photograph those special moments!
