Real Petal confetti

I think a few of the girls on here have have real rose petals so hopefully someone will come along to help. Just another thought.... I saw on the TV a couple of weeks ago a company which does real delphinium petals as confetti which I've never seen before. I'm almost sure it was on the Cornwall programme with Caroline Quentin. He had fields and fields of mahoosive delphiniums in all colours!

Think this is the company and they do rose petals too:-

I bought mine from confetti heaven...

Try shropshire petals and daisyshop.co.uk as well. Not sure on the quantities though, i'm afraid.

I was looking at this yesterday too. I found a company who say a pint of confetti is equivalent to 10 handfuls. 1 pint is enough to fill approx 10 cones or bags. They reccomend small rose petals or delphinium as throwing confetti.

Do you have the link for that. Its the cheapest I have seen so far!

I'd like the link too please as it is the cheapest i have seen it too!! Thanks x

Mee too!!

And thanks for the other info too!

We had rose petal confetti (was made by OH aunt so can't help with supplier I'm afraid). However I would just like to mention that although it is natural and beautiful in the photo's it felt like someone had chucked cornflakes down my dress so if possible, try not to let it disappear down your cleavage! ?

I ordered delphinium petals from Shropshire petals, 5 litres which were 40 quid. Really good quality and they're available in loads of colours. They arrived really quickly too!

No danger of that with me iv got no boobs ?

? Are you joking?!

Honestly. Its just my dress makes me look like I have. The padded bra helped too ha

Just found this:

Hey M-Y,

Have you bought these? or just found them?

They are the same price really as the delphinium... now can't work out which would work best as confetti - like the idea of the roses but wonder if they are too big to throw effectively.... its always the little things that I get bogged down in!!

Cheers!

I've bought them, and so have a few of the others on the 2012 FB Group - I think they will work out really well as confetti, but I'm sure any sort of petal will do ?

these are fab!! where did you buy the bags from?

Probably a stupid question but how long will it last in storage? I dont want to buy now because its on offer and then it 'go off' before the big day... having said that its probably too early LOL

I bought them from ebay, they are 'Glassine bags'

?

How many litres did you buy to make this many bags?

They look gorgeous, we have already bought the bags and stickers to do the same. Im going to do about 30 but not sure how much to buy !

Thankyou! they look great! i always wanted confetti cones till i saw your bags last night! lol

If you are interested in REAL petal confetti there is tropical & exotic bougainvillea petal confetti which floats absolutely great. It is not as heavy as rose petals nor are they as small as other petals such as delphinium petals. Their colours, lightness and size are unrivaled with any other petals. They are resistant to fading as well once store in a cool dry place they can last for months.

I got my real petal confetti from https://www.confettidirect.co.uk/, the real flower confetti company in worcestershire. They are well worth taking a look at
