The low down: 5 top confetti colours from the autumn wedding shows

During the autumn and the spring, the petal shed can be very quiet at times as most of us are off setting up and exhibiting at wedding shows around the country. We love taking Shropshire Petals off out on the road, scatting petals for everyone to see. 

Today we’re sharing the top 5 confetti colours brides-to-be chose at the autumn wedding shows this year to give you some inspiration when choosing yours.

Autumnal berries

One of our newest confetti mixes, Moulin Rouge was a huge hit at the shows. It was very popular for those planning autumn 2017 weddings as it is made up using Burgundy Berry cornflower petals and our ivory Icing Sugar delphiniums. Whether you’re planning an autumn wedding or a burgundy and white wedding, Moulin Rouge is great for adding a splash of rich colour to your confetti moment.

Year round favourite

One of our all time biggest selling mixes is Summer Nights. A delicate blend of ivory, pale pink and pale blue, it is perfect for any wedding, no matter when you’re wedding is. This pretty mix is subtle, yet will give you that colourful shower of petals you are looking for.

Summer sunshine

Most couples would love sunshine on their wedding day, which is why our Coral Reef confetti mix was another that many wedding show visitors choose to take away as their free sample. Coral Reef is a bright combination of ivory, pale pink and orange, guaranteed to add a touch of summer sunshine to your special day. This mix is not only beautiful when thrown; it also looks fabulous when used for decorating a petal path or on your reception tables.

Multi-coloured pastels

Pastel colours are set to be a big trend again in 2017, but with the added twist of combining several different pastel colours with complementing bright tones. One question we get asked a lot at the wedding shows is “can I choose more than four colours in a pick and mix”, the answer is yes. We recommend buying all of the colours separately or a few different pick and mixes to mix together yourself.

Best seller

By far, the most requested mix at the weddings shows is our all-time biggest seller Kaleidoscope. A colourful mix of ivory, dark blue, lilac and hot pink, couples love this mix as it gives that colourful wow factor confetti moment. Use Kaleidoscope for decorating your venue as well as throwing by scattering on crisp white tablecloths to continue your colourful theme from ceremony to reception.
