Wedding Confetti
Ever wondered why we have confetti at weddings? All your confetti questions
answered
The word "confetti" derives from the same Italian word as
confectionery and was used to describe the sweetmeats - sugar-coated
grain and nuts - that were thrown over newly-weds. In more recent
years, the grains and nuts were replaced with rice or pieces of coloured
paper, more like flower petals than grains, which is reflected in
the tradition of throwing rose petals before the bride as she walks
down the aisle. This is meant to ward off evil spirits and grant fertility.
These
days, the perfect modern alternative to throwing rice is showering
the happy couple with confetti.
petal confetti
Taken fresh from the field and dried, our delphinium petals are ideal
for throwing over the happy couple and come in a variety of mixed
colours.
ecofetti
For an environmentally friendly option, why not use our ecofetti.
Made from cornstarch, it's 100% biodegradable and water soluable.
With so many different types of confetti to choose from, their uses
have become more varied. Confetti is the perfect choice for when you
want to add a bit of sparkle to anything from tablecloths to invitation
cards.
metallic confetti
 Choose
from a selection of different colours and shapes - all come in a bag
containing 28g, which is enough to cover approximately 3 tables.
iridescent confetti
Looks magical against white or ivory tablecloths and it's shimmering
colours change when caught in the light. Works well when mixed with
coloured metallic confetti. 28g bags, enough to cover approximately
3 tables.
petal confetti
Naturally freeze-dried and fragranced, our rose petals
and buds add a romantic look to every occasion. They are perfect for
scattering over tables and lawns or for filling bowls or baskets.
fabric confetti
A big advantage of our beautiful fabric petals and flowers is that
they are allergy free and always in season! Slightly fragranced, they
are perfect for scattering over tables and for filling bowls and baskets.
paper confetti
 Made
from biodegradable tissue paper, our paper confetti looks fabulous
scattered over tables, lawns, carpets and pathways. With approximately
2000 petals per pack, this is one essentail you can really be extravagant
with!
For that extra something, you can layer the
base of your favour boxes with flower petal confetti. Golden cherubs
or love confetti are perfect for adding to invitations.
And most of all, confetti can add that final touch to your table settings
- whether you add glittering metallic confetti, or use iridescent
confetti on white or ivory tablecloths, the effect will be a magical,
shimmering look.
Finally when it comes time to cut the cake, scatter some hearts, stars
or “just married” confetti around the platter.
