Create A Wedding Confetti Bar For Your Guests

If you're dreaming of a pretty vintage or country garden wedding theme, listen up! A quaint desk or table with an antique feel is the perfect base for your confetti bar. Use an old-fashioned sign, frame or chalkboard to let your guests know about your confetti bar, and stand it against the table. Fill vintage baskets with pretty petals and offer your guests cones adorned with lace detailing.

Metallic calligraphy written on mirrors or acrylic signs will look fab. Fill clear or gold vases with sequins, feathers or even glitter! You'll sparkle for the rest of your wedding day. You could use a vintage-inspired bar cart as a base for your confetti bar – it'll give your big day a dash of Gatsby glamour!

If you're planning a rustic or destination wedding, we love the thought of using a variety of herbs as your confetti. From dried lavender to handfuls of mint – the choice is yours!

Offer your guests scoops so that they can fill cones, jars or hessian bags with their chosen confetti. It'll look ultra-stylish at your wedding venue, and it'll be something your guests won't have seen before.

Fill the crates with loose petals, or use them as storage for kilner and mason jars brimming with confetti. They're a fab touch if you're opting for a rustic or country wedding theme, and they'll fit in with your decor perfectly.
