Do you think dried lavender would be ok as confetti??

We're using a similar idea for our centrepieces - good choice

I'd be wary of using the heads as confetti though - aren't they actually the seed pods, which presumably could end up creating a forest of lavender bushes in a couple of years?

Ooh that could be a very good point AJ! I better check and that will clearly be the deciding factor!

thanks

We used a mixture of dried petals and lavender for our confetti and it was lovely and smelled amazing!just watch it doesnt get stuck in/down your dress as the colour can transfer if they get squished into dress, just give it a good shake after tho and should be fine

ETA the lavender was dried so I dont think it would be able to grow! I could be wrong but venue have not come back to me with complaints of lavender trees so I assume all OK

My friend had this for her wedding. It looked ever so pretty and she had lots of lovely comments about it.

(Except from me as I fvcking hate lavender. It makes me sneeze and reminds me of old ladies! Didn't stop me throwing some at them though!)

Oh dear CB you'd hate my wedding then it's going to be everywhere!! ?

Thanks folks, also thanks Naboo re: dried/growing thing.

Hey at worst the church grounds will look amazing next summer right ha!!!

Are you using fresh lavender or dried lavender as your flowers?

I'm thinking of using lavender heads instead of petals in my table centres.

Dried lavender....

Even though the lavender is dried for the centrepieces we are planning on crushing some heads at bottom of vases for the nice smell

I'd still appreciate that you liked the lavender though. I'd just spend the day breathing through my mouth and the gin would soon knock the edge off it!

I find gin helps with a lot of things, it will feature tonight when i try and finish making up our Order of Services.

Which by the way, I think, is officially the most boring wedding job EVER. Argh. 50 done, 50 to go...

I would look into dried hydrangea petals or something instead to be honest. At a recent wedding, some guests used dried lavender, and it looked nasty in the bride and groom's hair (he had sticky hair styling gook or something in it to style it),, it was a nightmare trying to get that stuff out of his hair for photos, it was impossible to get it out, as it really stuck to his hair. It wasn't their choice of confetti,, it was brought to the wedding by others,, who wouldn't have known what a pain it was going to be.

Eeek thanks Teri don't want that to happen....!

I have a big hydrangea in my front garden perhaps I'll attempt at drying them etc....
