Sprinkles of Cheer

A small detail often overlooked is the ‘sprinkles of cheer’ – otherwise known as wedding confetti. A time to celebrate the end of your wedding ceremony, surrounded by friends and loved ones, covering you head to toe in multi-coloured bits of rice paper. But is it really necessary to conform to this tradition?

Rice and Naan?

Years ago, the traditional confetti came in the form of dry rice and was liberally thrown all over unsuspecting couples by way of congratulating them. Thankfully, this is one tradition that has passed by the wayside and the modern day image of confetti tends to be horseshoe and love heart shaped bright paper. But why not shake it up a bit and add your own personal twists?

Would you really want this poured over your head? 

Fresh Thinking

Fresh petals may be an expensive treat to be used for your confetti, but it will add a touch of fresh luxury to the feel of your day. Choose your favourite flowers to match in with colour schemes and personalities. Not only is totally environmentally friendly, but they will smell divine. You could even try herbs, lavender has a great scent and is brightly coloured to boot. Dried or fresh, the choice is yours.

Beautiful and smell lovely too!

Having an Autumn or Winter wedding? Try collecting some beautiful dry leaves instead and embrace your season of choice. The photo opportunities will be endless.

That warm autumn feeling. 

Out With The Old…

For a ‘cheap as chips’ option, roll up your sleeves and recycle old newspaper by cutting your own confetti. Not only does this look chic and interesting, it’s also right on trend and will compliment any vintage inspired wedding.

Bubbles are another cost effective option and with no mess, every venue should be agreeable. Bubbles are popular as little favours for the tables, however I think they are more suited as confetti. You may like to have your bubble bottles personalised and this can be done so easily for a very small cost.

Putting your own personal touch on these teeny tiny details can make your day just that bit extra special.

Blow us a kiss!

Share the multi-coloured love,
