Simply confetti

These words were recently posted by our favourite photographer www.essentialimages.co.uk

So what does Confetti mean?

In English.......


Small bits of paper, usually coloured, thrown or dropped from a height to

enhance the fun of a festive event, such as a wedding or even a New

Year's Eve party.



In Italian........

"Confetti" is sugar coated almonds and usually

given out at

weddings, often wrapped in a small organza bag and used

as favours for the guests. The little bags of sweets are

said to represent the hope

that the new couple will have a fertile

marriage.

The Natural Confetti Company make fabulous biodegradable dried confetti

from real flower petals and can be bought online all year round.

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.

HALLOWEEN WEDDING

  A sneak peak into this fantastic REAL halloween wedding, photos courtesy of www.essentialimages.co.uk

Who would dare to get married on the scariest day of the year!  This couple clearly did and look at this lovely dress.  Glad to see they didnt forget the all important confetti!!

I wonder if they flew off on a broomstick to a suitably haunted honeymoon location????

Buckets and Baskets

Lovely little rustic baskets with organza bags filled with ivory and raspberry delphinium petals.  Lovely for bridesmaids to hand out after the ceremony or why not have a vintage pail with a blackboard area to chalk the name of the bride and groom.  Great for a rural wedding .....

Organza bags of rosebuds

These lovely organza bags of rosebuds, delicously fragrant, would make ideal favours for your female guests, doubling as place settings if you attach a name.  These are now available for just £1.25 each on our website www.naturalconfetti.co.uk.

Many thanks to www.essentialimages.co.uk for these fantastic pictures!

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!!

Natural Petal Confetti

There was a window of opportunity when the sun was shining and we decided to eat outside.  I quickly got my secateurs and cut some of the lovely delphiniums that we use for natural petal confetti to put on the garden table.  These gorgeous little stems  in pale blue, pink and raspberry, just some of the colours available in natural confetti available on our website http://www.naturalconfetti.co.uk/.

Bespoke Confetti

We put this gorgeous basket of confetti together for a wedding today in Virginia Water.  Pale green cones made from gorgeous paper that we sourced from France.  The cones are filled with ivory delphiniums.   The mother of the bride bought this basket and filled it with 50 of the little cones, decorated the handle with gorgeous ribbon and here is the result.  Just beautiful bespoke confetti!  We are hoping and praying that the weather stayed fine today for the lovely bride and we look forward to some fab pics.  With the brides permission we shall be publishing the photos really soon!

Keeping the staff occupied

A very important job has to be done after all the flowers have been picked!  The beds need to be weeded and rotivated and cleared for the following year.  Here is my husband doing his duty so that he will be able to do this when the flowers grow once again!

How could we produce gorgeous natural petal confetti without the help of good staff!

Whitewashed wooden trugs

Little whitewashed wooden trugs, perfect for the tiniest or the tallest of bridesmaids.  These trugs will hold 2 pints of confetti without overflowing - dont want to lose any over the sides when hands are tucking in ready for the confetti throw moment.

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.

Another happy couple!!

I just had to share these pictures and comments with you all from the mother of the bridegroom of this gorgeous couple.

The confetti was absolutely fabulous, so pretty, in the bags in the
baskets and being showered all over Benjie and Lizzie!!

Everyone asked where it had come from and was very impressed! The weather miraculously improved for us, the sun came out and I think a happy day was had by all - such a relief after all the torrential rain!

Raspberry and ivory

This gorgeous combination of little larkspur petals is perfect for any spring wedding. Less than £1 for a bag to put in your pocket. Take a look at our website for more options

The Vintage Wedding

With the latest trends heading towards vintage style weddings, I per chance stumbled on this lovely vintage paper to make pretty cones for our natural confetti.  It is such lovely paper to work with and designs on either side of the paper are varied and in fabulous pastel colours.  The pattern on the inside of the cone is different to the outside but the colour shades are the same - very subtle.                                                                             

We are thrilled with these stunning confetti cones.  And any pastel shade of petal looks great with them.

Surprise Surprise

Don't pretend you didn't know the confetti was going to be thrown Mr Bridegroom!  It is indeed an important part of any wedding!!!
