1. Confetti Baskets
Confetti baskets are a simple yet classic way to offer petals to your guests. Our baskets hold 50–60 handfuls of confetti, making them perfect for your bridal party to carry and distribute.

Bridal parties can offer guidance to guests on how to throw the petals for the best effect toss them high so they flutter gently to the ground, and avoid aiming at faces for a joyful and safe moment.
Baskets are versatile, easy to use and complement any wedding theme beautifully.
2. Confetti Sachets – Standard or Personalised
Confetti sachets are ideal for couples who want a neat, organised, and elegant option. At Shropshire Petals, we offer both standard and personalised sachets to suit your wedding style.

Each sachet is pre-filled in our Petal Shed with biodegradable petals, ready to place on guest chairs or attach to your order of service. They are perfect for destination weddings, taking up minimal space in luggage, and are fully recyclable after use.
3. Shropshire Box with Cones
The Shropshire Box offers a tidy and elegant way to present confetti. Available in White or Kraft, it comes with 25 cones and enough petals to fill them.
Our cone selection includes embossed colours and patterned designs. The bridal party can set up the display near the ceremony exit for a self-serve confetti moment.
After the wedding, the box can be repurposed as a keepsake to hold photos and mementos.
4. Silver Confetti Pail
The galvanised Silver Confetti Pail is both charming and practical. Each pail comes pre-filled with 2 litres of confetti, around 20–24 handfuls.

The pail is easy to carry or place near the ceremony exit for a self-serve option. It’s an elegant solution that complements rustic and vintage wedding themes while keeping confetti accessible for all guests.
5. Confetti Bars – An Interactive Feature
Confetti bars are an engaging way to involve guests and make the confetti moment more memorable. Guests can create their own mix while interacting with the wedding décor.
How to create a confetti bar:
-
Display: Use a vintage dresser, rustic table, or custom-built stand. Add signage to guide guests.
-
Petal selection: Provide baskets, jars, or bowls with different biodegradable small and larger petals.
-
Accessories: Include paper cones and labels describing each petal variety.
-
Finishing touch: Add a sign such as “Mix it up” or “Create Our Confetti Moment” to encourage interaction.
A confetti bar not only looks stunning but also becomes a talking point, encouraging mingling and creating a personalised celebration experience.
When to Order Your Wedding Confetti
Spring and summer are peak wedding months, so it’s best to order early to avoid disappointment. Our delphinium and wildflower petals can last up to 12 months, while larger petals such as roses or hydrangeas are best used within three months.
For weddings more than three months away, take advantage of our Delayed Delivery service. We securely store your order in the Petal Shed on our Shropshire farm and dispatch it approximately one month before your big day via Royal Mail or Parcel Force.
If your wedding is less than three months away, we offer standard and express delivery options to ensure your biodegradable confetti arrives on time.
