Exciting Confetti Moments on Your Wedding Day!
Get ready for the confetti line, one of the most joyous and emotional moments to capture during a wedding! It's always a blast filled with natural emotions. So here is my wedding confetti advice, and how to make your own handmade confetti. I'm so enthusiastic about confetti that I'm starting to believe it should be edible, especially considering how many times I've seen it end up in the mouths of the newlyweds!
Get Ready for the Confetti Fun!
First things first, check if your venue/church allows confetti throwing!
If you're good to go, find out the designated throwing areas (some venues have specific spots).
Once you have the green light, it's time to create your eco-friendly confetti!
If confetti is a no-go, don't worry, I've got some fantastic wedding confetti alternatives for you!
DIY Handmade Confetti - Let's Get Crafty!
If you have some spare time before your big day, here's how you can craft your own confetti and save some money in the process!
Collect flowers from your garden or shop-bought bouquets (roses work great due to their colour variety and lovely scent).
Remove the petals before they start browning.
Spread the petals out to dry in an airing cupboard or sunny windowsill (avoid stacking them to speed up the drying process and prevent browning).
Store the dried petals in a cool, dark place to maintain their colour.
Feel free to experiment with different petals and even add dried lavender for a delightful fragrance.
Repeat the process until you have a sufficient amount of beautiful handmade confetti!
Exciting Alternatives to Traditional Confetti!
If where you are getting married doesn’t allow confetti, here are some fun alternatives:
A bubble line, these are a brilliant alternative you just have to keep an eye on which way the wind is blowing
Doing a smoke bomb photo with the bridal party instead
Or opting for evening sparkler photos
