  Confetti Question

  22tango Joined on 28-Jun-2009 Posts 1,807	Contact Hi hitchers any recommendations for a supplier on this one? I was going to go with the real flower petal confetti company but it adds up to about 40 quid for 3 pints which will give me 30 small cones apparently - that can't be right, right? I'm getting a bit confused with quantities there so any enlightenment is most welcome!

  Contact No 3 pints should make about 10 small cones.  I am going for real petals too although i havent sourced our supplier yet i do know there are loads out there so just got to keep googling and checking prices till you are happy you got the best deal. And Mr and Mrs T lived happily ever after (well apart from when they were arguing or not talking to each other) Joint 3rd - MIA - I am touched I never knew you cared so much !

  The Sock Chicken Joined on 28-Mar-2008 Ely, Cambridgeshire Posts 8,415	Contact I ordered mine from here http://www.confettidirect.co.uk/ It is the real petals and was more expensive than other places. However, the other stuff i saw looked like pot pourri and after reading another hitchers comment about it being scratchy, I decided to go with the real stuff. My other reason was for the environment. I only ordered 2 pints as I guess some people will take their own.

  Contact I bought some petal type ones from Confetti but they were a bit scratchy, got some heart shaped pockets and stuffed them and put them in a wicker basket (£1 from the pound shop!) and got the MC to hand out whilst we were signing the register. I bought ours 'cos PL don't allow you to chuck it outside so it meant I could control when the confetti shot was iyswim! Not long now, how exciting :-)   Married 3rd October 2009!

So we're going to pick the roses from them which will make them feel closer, since neither of them will be there, and also ask my florist for some spare rose petals to ensure we have loads. xx The hitcher formally known as Bailey_Wailey

  Broody_wife Joined on 06-Nov-2009 Posts 3,766	Contact Thanks I really wish they were going to be there but unfortunately no amount of wishing can do that. So I suggested rose petals to my mum for confetti and she asked if I would like to use the roses we planted for them. I just knew straight away that's what I wanted. xx The hitcher formally known as Bailey_Wailey

  22tango Joined on 28-Jun-2009 Posts 1,807	Contact p.s I'm supplying them because we are only allowed confetti in the building and as sprouty said thats one way to control it - but also at my sister's wedding NO ONE brought confetti and she was so disappointed, I don't really want to take chances.

  Contact   Hi I went to a wedding recently who had this gorgeous box with confetti cones filled with confetti for the guests from Shropshire Petals, the bride kept the box after for keep-sakes to remember the wedding. I am going to get a few for my wedding, I saw at the National Wedding Show they have a new one coming out, have a look below its gorgeous and you can choose petals to match your colour scheme. http://www.shropshirepetals.com/blog/the-new-shropshire-box
