We've Been Featured on Guides for Brides: The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Confetti
We're thrilled to share some exciting news — The Dried Petal Company has been featured in the Ultimate Guide to Wedding Confetti on Guides for Brides, one of the UK's most trusted wedding planning resources. It's a brilliant recognition of our work, and we're incredibly proud to have contributed our expertise to help couples plan their perfect confetti moment.
What the Guide Covers
The Guides for Brides team put together a comprehensive resource covering everything couples need to know about wedding confetti — from venue rules and types of confetti, to photography tips and how much to order. Our team was consulted as confetti specialists throughout, and some of our images feature in the article itself.
Here are some of the key topics the guide explores:
Venue rules and biodegradable confetti. Most UK venues now require biodegradable wedding confetti to protect their grounds. Natural, dried petal confetti — like ours — is widely accepted because it breaks down completely without leaving any harmful residue. The guide makes clear that genuine biodegradability matters, and that not all "biodegradable" products are created equal.
Why dried petal confetti photographs so beautifully. Lightweight petals stay in the air longer, creating the iconic flutter-fall effect that makes confetti shots so magical. Freeze-dried rose petals, hydrangea petals and larkspur petals are all highlighted as top choices — and colour coordination with your wedding palette makes all the difference.
How much confetti you actually need. This is one of the questions we get asked most often! The guide shares helpful guidance: for smaller petals like larkspur, expect around 10 handfuls / 10 cone-fulls per litre, while larger petals like freeze-dried roses and hydrangeas give you 6–8 handfuls / 10 cone-fulls per litre.
When to throw the confetti. The classic moment is right as the newlyweds exit the ceremony, but the guide also discusses how natural light and outdoor settings make a real difference to the photos.
Why Natural, Dried Petal Confetti Is the Best Choice
At The Dried Petal Company, we've always believed that eco-friendly wedding confetti doesn't mean compromising on beauty. Our natural, biodegradable wedding confetti is made from 100% real dried flower petals — no dyes, no coatings, no plastic. As the Guides for Brides article highlights, this makes it one of the few types of confetti that's genuinely accepted at almost every UK wedding venue, including many churches and outdoor spaces.
It also happens to look absolutely stunning. There's a reason that dried petal confetti has become the go-to choice for couples who want those breath-taking, natural confetti photos.
