Should I go for big or small petals?
When choosing between large petals and small petals for wedding confetti, there are several factors to consider. Here are some points to help you decide:
Large Petals
Pros:
Aesthetic Appeal: Large petals, like rose petals, create a dramatic and romantic look. They are often associated with elegance and luxury.
Photo Opportunities: They stand out well in photographs, making them a great choice for capturing memorable moments.
Ease of Clean Up: Larger petals are easier to clean up after the event.
Cons:
Cost: Large petals can be more expensive, especially if you need a significant quantity.
Small Petals

Pros:
Cost-Effective: Smaller petals, can be more affordable.
Volume: You get more petals per volume, which can create a fuller look without needing as many petals.
Cons:
Visual Impact: They might not be as visually striking in photos compared to larger petals - they give more of a shower appearance in the photo, rather than being able to see the individual petals.
Clean Up: Smaller petals can be more challenging to clean up, especially if they scatter widely.
Personal clean-up: Smaller petals tend to get caught in hair-dos and can even disappear down the dress! Bear in mind that you may need to allow some personal clean-up time after the confetti throwing to fish petals out of your hair and maybe from inside your dress too.
Other Considerations
Venue: Consider the rules and restrictions of your venue. Some places may have specific guidelines regarding the use of confetti.
Environment: Think about the environmental impact. Biodegradable petals are a great option to minimize ecological footprint.
Personal Preference: Ultimately, it boils down to what fits your wedding theme and personal taste.
Conclusion
If you want an elegant look and are able to budget the extra cost, go for large petals. If you prefer a more cost-effective petal, and are okay with a bit more clean up effort, small petals might be the way to go.
Consider your overall wedding theme, your budget, and your venue's guidelines to make the perfect choice for your special day.
