I don’t have a response for you but have you tried with your florist? Ours is providing biodegradable confetti for us.

There’s loads on Etsy that I think are quite reasonably priced, there’s one I emailed and could put whenever I wanted and they would ship them closer to my wedding date

Could pay whenever *

How do you dry and store them? I love this 🥰

This sounds like an amazing idea! This may be a silly question but would home made confetti be biodegradable? I’m due to get married next May - if I started doing this now would it last?

Thanks so much for the advice really appreciate it! I’m a bit of a novice but I’m going to give it a go! Wish me luck!

I think I’m going to use ‘dollz confetti’ it’s about 80p a packet (including the packet which you can personalise) and you can pick the confetti colours depending on your scheme. All full biodegradable too!

View quoted message Wow that is very reasonable! Do you know how much you get in each packet?

View quoted message I had a look on their website after you recommended and I have decided to go with dollz confetti 😊 thank you so much xxx

View quoted message I’ve not bought them as yet but I believe they are a one person ‘portion’. You can buy also empty packets and big bags of confetti off their website - I’m not sure if it’s more purse strings friendly doing it that way?!

View quoted message Amazing hope you like them! Good luck xxx

View quoted message Brilliant thank you I will take a look sounds very reasonable!

Paper is bio degradable like the stuff you can buy that has bell and horseshoe shapes. But if a venue says it must be bio degradable then they generally mean dried petals. There are some venues that will withhold a portion of your damage deposit if you do not use bio degradable.

Be especially aware of the exploding confetti cannons as they tend to have plastic confetti.

One thing overlooked is that you can just use freshly plucked petals no need to dry them and they will throw better as they are heavier and will look better on the photos as they will be bigger.

One possible issue though is that depending on the colour fresh petals could stain if they get trapped in your dress and rubbed. Perhaps do some tests to find out.

A simple cheap way to use confetti is to make cones out of paper doilies. like this
