A confetti bar enables your guests to choose from a range of colours to ensure your confetti moment is a magical surprise. Not only will you get an amazing and fun confetti shot, a confetti bar is a great way of providing some entertainment for your guests.

Choose individual colours and mixtures of petals to match or contrast your wedding theme. Consider where you will be having your confetti moment to ensure that the petals are going to stand out when your photographer captures your guests throwing confetti over you.
Pick as many colours as you like, and you can even order samples to try out at home before you decide which will give you an idea of how your chosen petals will look when thrown together.
For a light and colourful confetti mix, choosing a variety of pastel colours mixed together is perfect for summer. The popular Summer Nights confetti is a delicate mix of light blue, pale pink and ivory petals.
We recommend smaller petals such as delphiniums and wildflowers as these are lighter and create a gentle flutter as they fall. To add some extra colour and texture, you can select some larger petals to mix in with the smaller ones.
If you are looking for even more of a colour splash, pick and mix your own confetti using the pick and mix tool online.
style it pretty
Choose a range of containers to display your confetti in, including Kilner jars, vases, buckets, vintage boxes, wooden crates or anything you like to suit your style and wedding theme.
fill ’em up
Place each of your individual colours or mixes of confetti into your chosen containers and put them in a prominent position where you will be having your confetti moment. Don’t worry about doing this yourself, pre-fill containers and delegate a member of the bridal party to set this up on the big day. Use the online confetti calculator to work out how much you’ll need.
do it themselves
Before the big day, make a cute sign to go next to your confetti bar to explain to guests what they need to do.
