Confetti – it’s more than you think!

Getting married is one of the most exciting days of your life. Whether you’re planning a big venue wedding or a small intimate affair, make sure you don’t forget the confetti!

When someone mentions confetti to you, what do you think? Do you imagine horseshoe and heart shaped paper or synthetic coloured shapes? Confetti is so much more than this.

5 confetti ideas

1. Traditional throwing confetti

Traditionally confetti is used to celebrate the marriage of a couple. Guests throw it over the newly weds after the marriage ceremony. Choosing the colours for your confetti can be a difficult decision. Think about the confetti moment you want. You could take some inspiration from the season in which you are getting married, choose shades to complement your colour scheme, contrast your colour scheme or go for subtle ivory confetti for a delicate confetti moment. The colour of your confetti can really help to create that ‘wow’ factor moment.
