Dried flower petals as the “It” choice for tossing confetti

Every moment of your big day is special, but there are those moments that remain in your memory forever—walking down the aisle with your father as your loved ones look on, reading vows filled with love, saying “I do” in a voice trembling with excitement, and leaving the church hand-in-hand with your husband before guests who are smiling, clapping, and tossing confetti.

Confetti has long been tossed into the air as newlyweds exit the church, symbolizing a “shower” of prosperity, fertility, and happiness upon the couple. For years, rice was the standard form of confetti; however, increasingly creative couples and growing environmental awareness are transforming this tradition, introducing a new “it” trend to the wedding world: dried flower petals.

There is something incredibly special about this confetti—it feels like a colorful rain of love falling upon you. In time, the rain will wash away the dried flower petals, allowing them to decompose naturally. Guests will also respond positively to such a biodegradable concept. You can choose from a wide variety of dried petals, matching their colors to your wedding style, or even incorporate dried foliage like olive leaves.

Below, we present various packaging options and display ideas for confetti that will delight your guests, make your exit from the church truly special, and—without a doubt—provide you with a stunning, frame-worthy photograph.
