When it comes to confetti, why limit the fun to just the traditional wedding shot as you exit the ceremony? There really are no strict rules on how to share this moment with your loved ones. You can sprinkle its magic throughout your big day, from start to finish.

To give you some inspiration, we'd love to share some examples of how you can incorporate confetti into various moments of your wedding day. Then, it's up to you to decide which moments you want to make extra special and memorable. Let's get creative together!


Decorative Confetti Ideas

What could be more romantic than a petal path leading to the spot where you'll say 'I do'? It not only adds a touch of enchantment but also makes for stunning photographs.

You can create this look by either scattering our decorative petals along the aisle before your wedding day or, alternatively, having flower girls hold out our Flower Girl Baskets down the aisle, scattering our biodegradable petals moments before you enter. Or even have a flowerman set off a confetti canon before you enter! 

Tablescaping and Décor

When it comes to styling your tables for your wedding day, using petal confetti scattered across the table can add a charming and understated effect. Incorporating your wedding colour schemes into the décor will seamlessly pull everything together as you enter for your wedding breakfast. It is the little touches that make a big difference. If you are unsure of how much to order, you can use our confetti calculator to help you decide how much you require.

Confetti Bar

Now, we know everyone likes to flock to the bar when they reach the wedding reception to ensure their hands are holding that refreshing drink to celebrate as the newlyweds arrive.

But why not change up tradition and add a confetti bar to your reception, you can have as much fun as you like with this trend, and it is great fun to see your guests making up their own little mixes, of your chosen array of colours ready to throw in the air in celebration.
