How to make up a Shropshire Box: Box with 25 cones and natural petal confetti

The New Shropshire Box, complete with 25 floral embossed cones and enough petal confetti to fill, all in an ivory dispensing box that can be used as a keepsake box tied together with a pretty satin ribbon! White floral embossed cones are standard, or choose from pink, blue or green as optional extras.

Here’s our simple how to guide for making one up on the big day itself!

Step 1: I’ve received my order it’s all nicely tissue wrapped up, I have 1 Shropshire box and 2 bags of confetti.  Inside the box there are 25 cones and an insert with holes in. 

Step 2: So I’ve flipped the insert over so it sits just below the lip of the box- it will perfectly hold the cones in place.  The insert is removable which is great as I can use it later as a keepsake box for all my wedding day photos- and of course the confetti shot!

Step 3: There’s 25 holes in the insert one for each cone.  All you do is pop your cones in the holes and fill them up with the confetti.

Step 4: Once all the cones are in the holes and you’ve added your confetti that’s it, off to the wedding I go!   You can either leave the pretty ribbon hanging loosely or tie it up around the front of the box.

Step 5: Have your guests take a cone, smile and enjoy your confetti moment! Photographers are fab for organisation, just tell them you have confetti and they’ll find the perfect place and organise your guests for the best group shot.  

Now there are two nice options to this package, you can either make it a lovely 5 minute job for the bridesmaid or mother of the bride on the big day itself whilst everyone’s bustling about, or you can make the box up ready in advance of the wedding then just pop the petals in on the big day itself.  It’s up to you but whichever you choose, rest assured it’s a 5 minute fun project for a fab confetti shot!
