Keep it REAL!

CONFETTI make for great photos and memories, but not all is created equally.

Something as small as confetti can have a big impact on your wedding and the environment.

Consider the follow before picking your confetti.

1. Check with the venue – what they do and do not permit. This is important as it could affect your “vision” for the Big Day!
2. Never use glitter – it gets suck in everywhere and could be harmful to the environment and if inhaled in error when tossing.
3. Not all “natural” confetti are created equally, so be careful.
4. Petals and herbs are a great biodegradable option but could be very costly.
5. Coconut! Maybe try coconut shavings.
6. What look are you going for?
7. Be prepared to still clean up!
