YOU WILL NEED:

Natural confetti in different colours // 1 large bucket // 1 smaller bucket (it needs to fit inside the large bucket but also be big enough to hold a bottle) // stones //

STEP 1:

Take your large bucket and fill it with 2-3 inches of water then pop in the freezer and allow to freeze.

STEP 2:

Next, place the smaller inside that bucket and weigh it down with stones to ensure it doesn’t float when we add in the extra water!

STEP 3:

Add water to the half of the bucket and pack it full with your natural confetti! Then allow this to freeze. This will create the first ring of flowers.

STEP 4:

Once the previous section has frozen, fill the remaining space with water and pack full with confetti, you really want to try and pack it very tightly to get the best effect! Then freeze again and leave overnight.

Flower Tattoos Temporary Festival Wedding Inspiration Ideas How to DIY confetti shropshire petals glastonbury style-6Flower Tattoos Temporary Festival Wedding Inspiration Ideas How to DIY confetti shropshire petals glastonbury style-7

STEP 1:

Pop your petals within the heavy books and allow them to flatten, I left for mine for 3 – 4 hours which was plenty of time!

STEP 2:

Take your eyelash glue and apply it to the back of one of the petals then adhere it to your skin. I decided to create flower shapes by positioning 5 petals together! I’ve also read a couple of tutorials online that said you can use vaseline to stick the petals to yourself but this just wasn’t working for me at all, they kept falling off and you obviously want them to last all day on your wedding!

How to take the perfect confetti photograph

If you’re getting married soon and you want to capture the perfect confetti shot that has Pinterest obsessive’s swooning then you might want to bookmark this page right now! The confetti shot has to be one of the most requested photographs requested by couples and it isn’t surprising as they really are a lot of fun. There is quite a lot of skill that goes into capturing that moment, so we have teamed with Shropshire Petals who have given us their 6 top tips on capturing the perfect confetti photograph. Lets get started!

How to get the perfect confetti photograph

1. Choose the right confetti!

There are many types of confetti on the market, from paper and synthetic types to bubbles and natural petal confetti, but one for perfect confetti shots – natural petals.  Small natural petals, delphiniums and wild flowers, are light and fall delicately to the ground ensuring your photographer has plenty of time to capture the magical moment.  Remember, churches and venues love natural petal confetti.



2. Discuss with your photographer.

Discuss your confetti shot with your photographer before the big day.  Ask to see photos they have taken to give you some inspiration.  Your photographer will probably know the wedding location, ask them where they think is best to take the photo.  They will be able to discuss options with you according to the time of day, light and surroundings.
