Flower petal confetti


I love real flower petal confetti.
In summer it is possible to use fresh rose petals, or indeed any other flower petals. Larkspur and delphinium work very well. It depends on your colour scheme. Anything from pretty pastels to dramatic deeper colours and of course not forgetting the classic vibrant red rose petals.


Here I used just fresh red rose petals


I am drying rose petals for,use all,year round. It is quite easy to do at home for DIY real flower confetti.
Why not have a go for your own wedding, or to take to a friends wedding?

Pick flower petals on a dry morning, then lay in a single layer on kitchen paper.
Leave for a few days in a warm place, and your confetti is ready.

I have experimented with different roses. Just remember that your petals will deepen in colour as they dry out, and will shrink in size.
