More Confetti

Continuing on a similar theme, I have just encountered an article in the Daily Mail on a confetti farm in Worcestershire. Interesting to read that delphiniums and cornflowers are their petals of choice. And it seems like the average amount of petal confetti brides buy is 5 pints. All useful information if you're thinking of making your own confetti!

Using tissue paper (I was thinking it would be nice to cut your own shapes out with one of those cutter things...butterflies perhaps) would be far cheaper and less effort than growing flowers from scratch. BUT (and it's a bit but) of course when it gets wet, the colour comes out of tissue paper, and I'm pretty sure nobody wants that thrown all over their white dress! Many venues demand biodegradable confetti too, and whilst you can buy biodegradable tissue paper, I imagine the dye problem would remain the same.
