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?

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.

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.

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.
