Certain things capture my imagination and I love a little bit of magic! Throwing confetti is such a romantic tradition - it's like a sprinkling of fairy dust...This ancient tradition has been around since Roman times when grains such as wheat were part of the ceremony. More recently, rice was thrown at the bridal couple to symbolise fertility and prosperity.
There are so many varieties of confetti available now including freeze-dried petals which make a lovely natural alternative. Just make sure your photographer is ready to capture the moment!
And below are two beautiful collages by artist Michelle Caplan- I am a fan of Michelle's art and have purchased one of her pieces for my showroom. To me, both backgrounds remind me of colourful confetti! Maybe I should ask Michelle about her inspiration for these pieces...
