Calling all sustainability-conscious couples who are obsessed with saving the planet… this one’s for you! One way you can make more planet-friendly changes is by choosing sustainable confetti. Gone are the days where guests absolutely have to toss rice or other forms of traditional confetti. Couples have become more and more creative with their sustainable confetti choices and today we’re showing off a few of our faves!
Just a note to say that you should always run your confetti choices past your venue before ordering it. Check that your ceremony venue is happy with your sustainable confetti choice and that what you want to do obliges by the venue’s rules.

Dried flowers
We’re suckers for flowers in any form, and bringing dried flowers into your wedding is one of our faves! Choose a variety of colours (even better if they match your wedding theme), pop them in a reusable paper cone and you’re good to go!
Seed paper
Sustainability-conscious couples will be well acquainted with seed paper. It’s pretty, it’s colourful and it’s great for the planet. Whatever lands in the soil can sprout pretty flowers and guests can take them home and plant it!
Bird seed
Seeds for the birds! Can you think of anything cuter and more planet-friendly than this?
Artificial snowflakes
Planning a winter wonderland wedding? Add a whimsical touch with artificial snow as your sustainable confetti!
Lavender
The sight and scent of beautiful lavender is a welcome alternative the traditional confetti!
Leaves
Scoop up your favourite leaves and have guests toss these instead of confetti! Confetti leaves are perfect for a spring wedding or a wedding with a green theme.
Leaf cutouts
What’s better than leaf confetti? Cut-outs of leaves! Use a regular punch or find one that cuts out leaves into the shape of hearts, stars or butterflies. Choose whatever fits your wedding style and theme!
Fragrant herbs
Choose something like rosemary or thyme and not only will you have sustainable confetti and something pretty, but you’ll also have a gorgeous fragrance!
Fresh petals
Fresh petals are perfect for a beautiful spring wedding!
Bubbles
Bubbles sure add a magical touch to your wedding day! This wedding ceremony send-off idea is really pretty too.
