The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Confetti
There’s something truly magical about a perfect confetti moment, the beautiful shower of colour as you and your partner take your first steps as newlyweds. But did you know there are different types of confetti, and not all are created equal? From choosing the best option to ensuring a flawless confetti throw, here’s everything you need to know to create the picture-perfect moment!
The Different Types of Wedding Confetti
When it comes to confetti, there are a variety of options to choose from, each offering a unique look and effect. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular types:
🎉 Paper Confetti – The absolute best choice! It floats beautifully in the air, creating a stunning visual effect and lingering longer for the perfect photos.
🌿 Biodegradable Confetti – Made from natural materials like dried flowers, leaves, or rice paper, this is an eco-friendly option that’s also venue-approved in most locations.
🌸 Dried Petal Confetti – A romantic and natural choice, made from rose petals, lavender, or other flowers. It looks beautiful but doesn’t stay in the air as long as paper confetti.
✨ Metallic or Foil Confetti – Reflects light beautifully but can be tricky to clean up. Some venues may not allow it.
🎊 Bubble Confetti – Instead of traditional confetti, some couples opt for bubbles! This is mess-free and creates a whimsical effect.
The Best Time for a Confetti Moment
The best time to do your confetti throw is right after the ceremony, as you exit hand in hand as newlyweds. This ensures everyone is gathered, excitement is high, and your photographer is ready to capture the magic.
How to Hand Out Your Confetti
To make sure every guest has confetti at the right moment, consider these options:
💌 Confetti Cones – Individual cones filled with confetti can be placed on guests’ seats or handed out before the ceremony ends.
🎁 Confetti Bags – Small organza or paper bags are another easy way to distribute confetti without making a mess.
🪣 Confetti Basket – A large basket filled with confetti allows guests to grab a handful as they prepare for the big moment. Hands down this is what I believe works the best.
