Favourite colours for 2013

These two simple colours, raspberry and ivory, certainly seem to be the favourite for 2013!
A mixture of raspberry delphinium petals and ivory delphinium petals in mulberry paper cones, or simply loose in a pretty little basket.

Baskets

I very often get asked for larger baskets to hold loose natural petal confetti so that guests can grab a handful in readiness for the confetti throw. I always assume that mums of brides have baskets tucked away in a cupboard or hanging in a kitchen somewhere, as I do, so I tell the brides to ask mum. Clearly, I am not always correct and by public demand, I decided to source some lovely baskets pictured here in my garden in Culmstock. I am so thrilled with these baskets and have had some great comments since posting pictures of them on my site. Please do take a look at them on the  baskets page. They do require lots of confetti to fill them, but well worth it if there are lots of guests.

Lavender as confetti

An alternative to petals for natural petals or rice could be lavender for natural wedding confetti It smells so beautiful and if you are on a budget, it is much more reasonable. Try it with a mix of marigold petals to give a warm gold and blue colour mix.
