Why choose natural confetti?

 Wedding confetti is a tradition that dates back centuries. While today it might be hard to imagine a wedding without a joyful shower of confetti, the practice originally symbolized fertility, prosperity, and happiness for the newlyweds. In ancient Rome, grains of rice were often thrown at couples to bless them with abundance. Over the years, this evolved into tossing paper confetti, but modern weddings are now seeing a return to nature—with more couples opting for all-natural confetti. 

Why Are Venues and Churches Requiring Natural Confetti? 

As beautiful as confetti looks floating through the air, many venues and churches are becoming stricter about the types of confetti allowed. The reason is simple: traditional paper or plastic confetti can be harmful to the environment, difficult to clean up, and potentially damaging to delicate ecosystems, particularly in outdoor venues. 

In response, eco-friendly confetti, made from biodegradable materials like dried petals, herbs, or leaves, has become a popular alternative. These natural options not only absorb harmlessly into the ground but also add a touch of rustic charm to your big day. Some venues even specify that only biodegradable confetti can be used, making it crucial for couples to check in advance.
