Rose petal confetti, opinions please :)

Hi all, I received a sample of some confetti this morning, and just after your opinions please :) which option do you prefer, or think would work best?

Option 1, just rose petals

or Option 2, with rose buds

I'm not sure how well rose buds would work in confetti, I'm not sure if they would be too heavy?

Any opinions greatly appreciated x

  • I think just petals. Like you say the buds could be too heavy. Is there also a possibility they could mark your dress?

    Also i think just petals looks prettier xx

    rose petals alone I think. You could maybe use the roseheads as table decs if you wanted?

    Just petals - use the rosebuds & petals mix for tables, as Nozzy6 suggested?

    I prefer the petals alone. Are you planning on having these thrown at your wedding?

    Our venue was very strict on having real petals outside only. So we arent allowed to use them as table decs or in the chapel. Apparently they stain fabric and get trodden into carpets and stain those aswell. So id check that you're allowed them inside before you buy any to use on tables.

    Im still undecided as to what confetti to buy for outside..... ive seen dried rose petals. has anyone tried those?
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    the buds look really really nice but not sure how good they would be for confetti



    i have bought dried petals for confetti......it looks lovely and smells really good lol
    i got mine from daisy shop (i think) it was £26 for 1kg, I have done 100 bags of it and I still have about a third left

    I'm trying to do my own, I've just done my Valentines roses and I've put a message on Facebook asking my friends if I can have their roses that they have done with. I just put them in the microwave for a minute. They look good.

    I too think rose petals look best, they are dainty and will fall off you easily too x
