Shropshire Petals recommends for throwing confetti use smaller petals such as delphinium and wildflower. You can mix in some larger petals for added definition and colour. For decorating, use larger petals such as rose or hydrangea.

Top tips for a ‘wow’ factor confetti shot:

The majority of churches and venues only allow biodegradable confetti to be used – choose 100% natural petal confetti ready for your guests to shower you with on your wedding day.
Colour coordinate confetti with your wedding theme or bridesmaids dresses. If you want a bright, bold splash of colour in the confetti shot choose a mix of colours to enhance the effect. For a more subtle confetti shot, white confetti works wonderfully to add a delicate flutter of confetti.
Make sure you have enough confetti for each of your guests to throw a big handful, the more confetti thrown, the better the shot will be.
Discuss the location with your photographer before your wedding day; they will be able to decide where to take the confetti shot according to the light and setting.
For a full confetti shot to ask your guests to stand close and throw confetti high to create the perfect flutter.
Ask your photographer to take the shot from a ladder to get high up to ensure the shot captures all your guests throwing confetti.
You could ask your photographer to bring the confetti with them and produce it for your guests at the right time. This stops your guests having to worry about carrying it and wondering when to throw it.
Relax and enjoy the confetti moment!
