Petal or Leaf Confetti?
Here’s How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Toss!
You’ve walked down the aisle, you’ve said “I do,” and now… it’s time for that magic moment—the confetti toss!
The right confetti can completely transform your wedding photos, creating a moment of pure, joyful chaos (the best kind!). But should you go with soft, floaty petals or textured, rustic leaf confetti? Here’s everything you need to know.
Petal Confetti – Soft, Dreamy & Classic
Best for: Romantic, boho, and beachside weddings
Petal confetti is the ultimate classic, made from dried flower petals like roses, lavender, or native blooms. It’s delicate, floaty, and looks absolutely magical in photos as it slowly falls around you.
Photographer’s Tip: Petal confetti is light, which means it stays in the air longer—giving your photographer more time to capture those beautiful, in-the-moment shots.
Why You’ll Love It:
Airy & elegant – Perfect for slow-motion wedding videos
Venue-friendly – Completely biodegradable (no angry venue managers!)
Customizable colors – Match your wedding florals for a seamless look
How to Use It:
Confetti toss moment (throw it high for a longer-lasting effect!)
Scattered down the aisle for a soft, floral feel
Table décor for a natural, effortless look
Best for: Romantic garden weddings, vineyard elopements, beachside “just us” ceremonies
Leaf Confetti – Rustic, Earthy & Wild
Best for: Bushland, rustic, or nature-inspired weddings
Leaf confetti is for couples who want something a little different—textured, earthy, and 100% zero waste. Made from hand-cut dried leaves (eucalyptus, gum leaves, etc.), it’s a beautiful alternative to petals and works with almost any wedding style.
Photographer’s Tip: Leaf confetti falls faster than petals, so make sure your guests toss it all at once for the best shot!
Why You’ll Love It:
Eco-conscious & fully compostable – Nature-friendly, no clean-up stress
Rich in texture – Adds a unique, organic look to your wedding aesthetic
Blends beautifully with outdoor settings – Perfect for woodland, vineyard, and mountaintop weddings
How to Use It:
Toss it during your grand exit (looks stunning against outdoor landscapes)
Mix it with petals for a textured, wildflower effect
Scatter it on tables or in bouquets for a cohesive, earthy vibe
Best for: Bush weddings, forest elopements, outdoor ceremonies
