Planting those seeds

Christmas has come and gone, New Years celebrations all over and my Christmas decorations are down and stored away for another year.. I now turn my mind towards planting the seeds for this years crop of larkspur for our confetti.  This year I have tried something new, by planting some seeds last September I am hoping to have some early crops around June, followed by another crop in August from the seeds to be planted this March.  I really hope it works as the picking and drying can be spread across the summer months rather than the mad harvest in August!  I just can't wait to start rotivating!

A blast from the past

I just haven't had the time to blog this summer.  My little natural confetti business has gone from strength to strength.  I now have a shop on eBay and on Etsy and since moving to the Home Counties, local orders for confetti have been phenomenal.

So now the wedding season has begun to slow down, I should have time to pay attention to blogging and updating my website and perhaps even take some annual leave - bring it on.  Perhaps even another skiing holiday!

Basket of cones

These lovely large round baskets have proved to be popular this season filled with cones of natural confetti.  Here we have two different types of cones.  These baskets have been filled with cones just before dispatch to the customer.  The confetti has to travel separately of course as it would be all over the place by the time it reaches its destination!

If you are interested in a large basket with 50 cones filled with natural confetti, please email me.

Mix of the Week - marigold and cornflower

Our choice of natural petal confetti as mix of the months is a blend of aromatic yellow marigold Petals and blue cornflower petals.  Our trugs filled with these petals are perfect for bridesmaids or ushers to carry and offer to guests or simply just to leave on a table, pew or chair for the guests to help themselves.

Daily Mail

Just couldn't wait to share this with you all.  We have just received a mention in this weekends Daily Mail's gardening section! We are very grateful to the Daily Mail gardening writer for this exposure. 

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.

Natural confetti harvest

It has been a brilliant year for our larkspur here at The Natural Confetti Company in Culmstock, thanks to the great weather we have been experiencing.  I have even got hubby picking petals for me!
