The Best Alternative Confetti Ideas

Throwing confetti up into the air over the new bride and groom really adds to the celebratory atmosphere, but there’s a lot more than paper confetti to consider! Here are some fun alternatives to traditional wedding confetti.


GLITTER

Nothing catches the light and adds sparkle and shine quite as much as glitter, so why not mix it in with shiny foil stars or hearts for your confetti? We think it looks absolutely fabulous!

HERBS

Confetti made up of fresh or dried herbs can add a fragrant, bohemian feel to your big day. We recommend rosemary, lavender and thyme.

PETALS

Colourful petals or small flowers make beautiful confetti and look great in pictures. Apart from petals from larger flowers like roses, you can also try daisies, asters, bluebells and jasmine.

BUBBLES

Bubbles are a super fun option for wedding confetti, and will bring out the child in you! Just make sure that the bubbles are kept a safe distance away from the dress to avoid stains.

BALLOONS

An option that won’t leave any mess behind and looks stunning to boot is balloons. Make sure they’re helium-filled so that they fly high overhead.

LEAVES

Squish n Chips on Etsy

A great wedding confetti idea for an autumn wedding is dried or painted leaves. It looks gorgeous and is both free and eco-friendly – bonus points!

POMPOMS

Add a little colour to your big day in the form of pompom confetti! Another fun one for kids and adults alike, pompoms are sure to be a big hit.
