Why use Biodegradable Petal Confetti

One size does not fit all when it comes to choosing your wedding confetti. There are lots of different options out there, but the number one decision to make, is ensuring you choose biodegradable petal confetti for your big day.

Dried flower petals are biodegradable, create picture perfect confetti photos, are large enough to not get stuck in your hair, recommended by wedding venues, available in a wide variety of different colours and after your big day, they don’t leave a negative impact on the environment. Why would anyone choose anything else?

Real petal confetti is eco-friendly and will naturally biodegrade when subjected to the elements, unlike paper, plastic and glitter which is extremely harmful to the environment and may not even biodegrade. Opting for real dried petals is perfect for getting the ultimate confetti photo to cherish for years to come. Plus our petal confetti is available in a variety of different colours so you can match the petal colours to your colour scheme too. They also float delicately when thrown allowing your photographer more than enough time to capture your special moment.

Recommended by Wedding Venues

Wedding venues and event planners encourage couples to take more eco-conscious steps when wedding planning. These days wedding venues refuse to accept anything other than biodegradable petal confetti as it is safe to throw it in natural surroundings and it won’t ruin the venues picturesque grounds; plus they don’t need to clean up after your wedding celebration. Always make sure to check with your wedding venue beforehand and follow their guidance.

Petal Confetti Samples

Made from Real Roses & Hydrangeas

All our Rose and Hydrangea flowers are sourced from around the world (locally when possible) to ensure only the best quality flowers are used when making your petal confetti. We then freeze dry them using state-of-the-art-technology, at our HQ in the the UK. In doing this we remove the moisture from the petals which in turn locks in the colour and shape for up to 3 months, which is far longer than fresh flowers. Meaning you can order your petals ahead of time and tick it off your wedding to-do list.

From pale pink, whimsical white, dreamy blue to vibrant yellows we are confident that we have the perfect petal colour for your big day. You can even make your own bespoke confetti mix via our Pick and Mix service, you simply select up to five Rose or Hydrangea petals and we will mix it especially for you. All of our petals are 100% biodegradable so you can enjoy their beauty guilt-free.

How much to order

To ensure you get the most magical confetti shot, we recommend for couples to provide confetti for their guests. It’s not expected for guests to bring confetti these days, and even if a few do, it wouldn’t be enough to get an epic confetti shot.

For a show stopping confetti moment we recommend asking all your guests to throw. Visit our petal calculator and set your requirements for how many guests you have attending and see the calculation update automatically as to how much you need to order. If your needs are greater than the guide quantities provided then please get in touch with us and we will gladly advise and discuss options with you.
