The origins of confetti can be traced back to Ancient Rome, where small sweets and petals were thrown at newlyweds as a symbol of fertility and good fortune.

It's a beautiful tradition, and is also really good luck! Throwing confetti is a fun and engaging activity that symbolises good luck, love, and fertility. The confetti throw occurs following the formal parts of the ceremony, enables laughter, frivolity and a real chance to relax and begin the party celebrations. Plus with my petals you get a really good photo to capture the happy moment for eternity.

I have seen photographers recommend 'shed or bucket loads of the stuff' but it is expensive so what I recommend is 1 litre of confetti per every 10 guests.

I like plenty of notice and I'm happy for orders to be placed well in advance. However, to ensure supply and freshness, I don't begin processing a couple's order until three to two months before the wedding date.

I try to make the process as personal and bespoke to your requirements as I can. Once you have messaged me, I will ask you to choose your preferred shades and your amount required and I will need your wedding date, address and contact details. I have an open message policy and encourage customers to message me at any time with any queries or pointers.

I use fresh large petals and leaves that float and flutter instead of bombing to the ground.

I encourage kindness, celebrate difference and intend to be as inclusive as possible. As well as running a business, I aim to be supportive and informative to all. I work with you to get the perfect result and until you are 100% happy.

I mostly use Royal Mail, second class signed for and send you the tracking details and proof of postage.

The confetti needs to be in a sealed container and stored in a dark dry spot i.e in a tub in a cupboard.

If stored correctly the confetti can last a year.

Extremely. My garden is Bee and insect friendly, and it is abundant with flowers. I avoid the use of any sprays and I compost and recycle as well as use environmentally friendly packaging.

No, confetti gives a celebratory feel to any occasion. I have petals that are ideal for use at baby showers, gender reveals, pride events, birthdays, product launches etc.

I cannot compete with corporate giants, as this will be an extra expense to waste and packaging, and I just love being outside in my garden with my flowers!

My business is sustainable, wildlife friendly gardening and my petals are biodegradable.
