Chutney and Lavender favours

A very good friend of mine recently made all the favours for her daughter's wedding and I just thought I would share these with you.  Delicate little lavender bags for the female guests, all hand sewn together and stuffed with French blue lavender.  The names of the happy couple attached to one corner in the form of the old fashioned school name tags - such a brilliant idea.  

 

And for the chaps - a small jar of homemade chutney finished off with rustic brown paper and string and simply labelled. Perfect!

 Tied with  delicate pink ribbon and tiny rosebuds these little lavender bags smell gorgeous!

These little favours are time consuming of course but can be made way before the big day and how satisfying to see these lovely homemade gifts sitting on the decorated tables.

 



 

Simply gorgeous wedding

Natural shades of green and cream theme created a simply gorgeous wedding.  The bouquet complimented the table settings, the cake and the confetti.  The beautiful cake was made by the bride's mother, including the floral decorations. Such a clever lady! The bride chose pale green cones and ivory natural confetti.

Fresh flower petals.

Naturally dried delphinium petals make beautiful confetti for weddings and events. The colours are stunning and when thrown over the happy couple the petals float in the air and bring a magical touch to any wedding.

Fresh flower petals are also beautiful and extravagant and we can deliver colours and petals of your choice in delicate handmade paper cones directly to your venue on the day of your wedding, in baskets in any size available on loan or to purchase. (25 mile radius of EX15 3HW).

Please do contact us if you have a wedding this year and would like to arrange your confetti.

Coming soon - Yummy Wedding Breakfast Marmalade

My partner makes the most delicious marmalade in the world - or so everyone keeps telling him. Seriously though, it is the most scrummy marmalade, and just perfect for the wedding breakfast, the one the day after the wedding, on bread or toast and served with a glass of wedding celebratory bubbly! So, I have decided to add this to my website, perfect as a wedding gift, handmade in Devon, and will be sourcing suitable English bubbly to go with it. So here is a sneak peak of the yummy stuff!

Testimonials

It is always great to get testimonials from very happy customers but even more satisfying to get a testimonial from far off lands. This one came from the lovely Laureline in France. After asking many questions she seemed happy and comfortable to order her confetti from me. I was a little apprehensive, knowing that some parts of France have beautiful flowers so why would a French bride wish to order natural confetti, from the UK. However she was sooooo delighted and sent me this, my first French Testimonial:


"Les confettis sont superbes et correspondent vraiment au photos du site. Merci à Julie qui a répondu à mes questions et m'a rassuré concernant les délais de livraisons. J'ai reçu mon colis 1 semaine après la commande. Je recommande ce site à toutes les françaises qui veulent un mariage nature et original !"

Best wishes
Laureline

‘Le Lancer de riz’: The French traditionally throw rice (le riz) over the newly weds as they leave either the town hall, the church / synagogue / temple / mosque etc. The act of throwing rice or any other confetti in France is, as in other occidental cultures, to promote fertility and to warn off evil spirits.

Wedding Yurts

A big warm welcome to our new follower Lizzie Jones from www.weddingyurts.co.uk. There are four gorgeous handcrafted yurts to choose from for your special day or why not just have them all and link them together. Take a look at their website for more info!

The Corn Barn

We supplied the confetti this weekend for the lovely Lisa who was married in a church in Teignmouth Devon. She chose a mixture of red and ivory rose petals and blue and raspberry delphinium petals. The reception followed in this beautiful barn in stunning rolling hills of mid Devon near Cullompton. A full wedding service can also be provided here in the gorgeous Corn Barn.

Natural confetti in jute bags.

These cheeky little girls look as though they are up to something clutching this pretty pink jute bag full of organza pouches of natural confetti.  The bag  of confetti had been beautifully put together by the photographer at www.essentialimages.co.uk  for the guests at a wedding in a few days time.

OOPS!  Perhaps the confetti throw is a little premature.  Cheeky little monkeys.  Thank goodness The Natural Confetti Company are able to provide some more lovely petal confetti!!

Baskets of pale green cones

Lovely delicate pale green cones with ivory delphinium petals.  I am just about to make another 50 for a local wedding. Some brides prefer to have  pure natural colours  for their  petal confetti like these.   Take a look at the cones and petals on our website www.naturalconfetti.co.uk We can make cones in any colour you like, just email us with your requirements and we can send you sample paper.

All hands on deck!

With the wedding season at its peak it is all hands on deck and we are still turning orders round in a couple of days.  We have plenty of delphinium petals in all colours, with a mix of vibrant blue and ivory seemingly very fashionable. 

Little bridesmaids love to be flower girls and hand out the confetti to those guests who have forgotten to bring any along. 

It is also a good idea to have a  basket of cones full of confetti or organza bags at the ready on a table in the venue at the exit point ready for guests to collect just in time for the photo shoot.

Cones, cones and more cones!

Just provided the natural petal confetti for a big wedding in the South East - all hush hush!  Fantastic - although exhausting making all those delicate little cones!  Phew! Pics coming soon hopefully..........

Planting time coming up!

Planting time soon here in the Blackdowns!  We will be ploughing up the field again in readiness for spring and planting of the new delphinium crop.
Please pray that we have a much drier summer this year to make the picking and drying much easier for us!  Don't let this put you off ordering tho - we still have plenty of stock of  natural biodegradeable petals for those imminent weddings! Visit our website and if you are local, come and see us at the Broadclyst Wedding Fayre on 18th March.
