Wedding Confetti Ideas

Sweet greetings everyone!

Tossing confetti at the newlyweds is a common sight at weddings. This age-old practice traces its roots in Great Britain. Back in the days, guests toss rice onto the newlyweds as a symbol of fertility. The Italian version involved showering the couple with sugared almonds. Eventually, this tradition found its way in all parts of the globe and took on different versions among different cultures.

Wedding confetti comes in various shapes, sizes, color and texture. In today's weddings, we see a lot of options for confetti as well as fun and exciting alternatives. Here are some interesting and popular choices that will certainly win your heart.

For green weddings, you can opt for this cool new thing called Ecofetti, a water-soluble, non-staining and biodegradable option which dissipates in the air after use.

Lots of Love,

Ideas for Wedding Program

Warm greetings everyone! When we plan weddings, we make sure that we give every element considerable time and attention. We want all the details to contribute to the overall theme that we want to achieve. And because we only want the best, we do research and share with our clients interesting ideas that they can draw inspiration from. 

Today, we talk about wedding programs. Do you need it? Here are some of our thoughts on the issue:

1. When you are expecting many guests, do not presume that everybody knows everybody. A wedding program would do the job of introducing your entourage to your wedding guests.
2. While everybody is pretty much familiar with the sequence of a wedding ceremony, it helps to have a program they can refer to so they are guided accordingly. 
3. For practical reasons, your wedding program may well serve other purposes such as a fan for the hot weather, among many others. 

Here are some options to consider when you are planning on having wedding ceremony programs:

The accordion - a great way of getting all information in one piece of paper.

Booklet bound by ribbons

Or sewn together

A scroll perfect for a small wedding

A fan-style wedding program that should come in handy during a warm day.

While waiting for the ceremony to start, keep guests busy answering the crossword puzzle at the back of your paddle-style fan program

Print your program on brown bags and stuff them with confetti. Ask guests to shower you with confetti as you walk down the aisle as man and wife.

You can also tuck a packet of confetti on the usual booklet program

Keep everyone busy reading about your love story and every bit of information about you and your wedding by giving out a personalized newspaper wedding program

The couple's picture makes a great cover for a wedding program.

Program pockets hanging on chairs - we so love this idea we're featuring it again.

 You can even have a doorknob hanger wedding program for guest to bring home and use at home

Here's another fun idea- origami wedding program!

If you do not want to bother with the printed programs, you can just put up a chalkboard with everything there is to know about your wedding ceremony.
