Petal Confetti - Pretty And Feasible

The word confetti is derived from an Italian word meaning candies given to guests at a wedding. In English it means little bits of paper or the like, used for decorations or thrown over the newly wedded couple.

Use of confetti is becoming increasingly popular especially at weddings since it can add that unique touch to your wedding. You can use various kinds of paper, crystals, and even flower petals to make confetti. Confetti comes in different shapes, sizes and materials. In order to add a personal touch, you can make your confetti yourself. This is also a more economical choice.

Petal confetti can be prepared using flowers like pink or lilac delphiniums, mixed rose petals, chrysanthemums or any other flower as per your choice. Rose petals however, are the most popular choice for petal confetti since they are available in different colors, shapes and sizes and go well with any theme and color.

Confetti petals can be prepared on the wedding day itself so that they remain fresh or they can also be bought beforehand to save any last minute anxieties. Frozen and dried rose petals can be stored for several months without any worry of them decaying. They can be bought at a wholesaler’s instead of a retailer to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Confetti can be used in many ways for a wedding. It can be thrown over the newly wedded couple as they leave church or at the end of the ceremony to add a romantic and beautiful touch to the special day.

You can also have a flower girl throw flower petals as she walks and create a path for the bride to enter. You can also do the same, as the couple gets ready to walk out of the church. Confetti can also be used as part of the wedding decorations. They can be tastefully arranged on the tables or at nooks and corners. Confetti is an economic and versatile choice as far as decorations goes.

Confetti can also be used in favor boxes to be given to guests at the end of the wedding. Filling the boxes with your present of choice along with some confetti can make a pretty picture and is sure to be remembered by your wedding guests for years to come. These boxes can be filled with candies, chocolates, sugared almonds or small gifts and figurines. Make sure that the present goes well with the color of the confetti.

However, one needs to be careful with using fresh rose petals as confetti since rose petals can stain fabrics beyond repair. A safe option if you want to avoid damaging your wedding dress and the church floor or reception area carpet would be to use freeze-dried petals instead of fresh flower petals. They are easily available with any florist and are a much safer option.

A wedding is the most special day in the life of any couple and confetti adds a romantic, elegant, classic, beautiful and memorable touch to that important day.
