Choosing the Right Confetti for Your Wedding


1. Petals and Flowers

Petals are a classic choice and look stunning in photos.

  • Rose Petals: Soft, romantic, and perfect for timeless wedding photos.
  • Dried Petals: Natural and biodegradable, great for outdoor weddings.
  • Other Flowers: Lavender, hydrangeas, and wildflowers add a unique touch.

If you want a natural, eco-friendly option, real flower confetti is a winner. Suppliers like The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company offer beautiful choices.

2. Biodegradable Confetti

If you want to keep your wedding environmentally friendly, biodegradable confetti is ideal.

  • Biodegradable Paper Confetti: Comes in lots of colors and shapes to match your theme.
  • Fresh Leaves or Birdseed: Creative, natural, and easy on the environment.
  • Confetti Cannons: Look for eco-friendly cannons for a dramatic moment without harming nature.

3. Confetti Cannons

Confetti cannons are perfect for creating that “wow” moment. Whether it’s during your ceremony exit or first dance, they guarantee amazing photos.

  • Use biodegradable confetti cannons to stay eco-friendly.
  • For maximum impact, set off multiple cannons at once to create a colorful burst.

4. Confetti Bags and Table Decor

If you want guests to participate in the confetti fun, make it easy for them.

  • Confetti Bags: Fill cones or small bags with real petals or biodegradable paper confetti.
  • Table Confetti: Scatter confetti on your reception tables for an extra decorative touch.

5. White Confetti for Timeless Weddings

White confetti looks elegant and works with any wedding theme. It’s a simple, stylish option that will never go out of fashion.

Creative Confetti Ideas

If you want to go beyond traditional confetti, try these fun ideas:

  • Bubbles: Perfect for kids and mess-free.
  • Ribbon Wands: Add movement and color without cleanup.
  • Birdseed or Rice: A traditional, eco-friendly option.
