    which are you having on your big day?
    i like confetti as its traditional so goes with everything else but h2b thinks vicar said they charge extra as they have to clear it up or something.
    whereas bubbles look fun and quite good on photos. only problem there a pain in the backside to blow lol

    Buy bio-degradable confetti, you won't need to clean it up as it will just degrade!

    But, I'm not sure what I'm having yet. I think probably confetti

    Our veue won't allow confetti, so we got some freeze dried rose petals which are very pretty. We got three colors and are mixing them up together.

    Be careful with bubbles, especially near to silk/satin pieces of clothes! Also my friend had biodegradable confetti and when she was sitting in the car a piece "melted" on the back of her dress!!!!! Not a good look, she had a pink looking blob in the wrong place :-(

    I love bubbles you can get bubble guns which are better for lots of bubbles!

    The freeze dried rose petals are lovely too and dont harm the environment!

    Personally im not a fan of the paper confetti as its messy!

    Bubbles are great indoors, use a bubble gun better still get loads and get the kids to do it, bubbles stay in the air longer, more chnace of getting a good photo

    We had bubbles. Couldn't stand the thought of anything being left on the ground rotting way or being eaten by animals...

    Don't throw rice- it can kill birds!!!

    i have no idea how much, i didnt even know until we had consultation with photographers, after theyd gone h2b said that vicar charges extra for confetti to be thrown. i like the idea of the bubble guns.
    might have confetti after the ceremony then leave a bubble gun on each table for them to do during first dance. what do you think?

    Haha probably not a good idea to state rice then lol. I didn't even think about being charged for clearing up the confetti, I was orginally having a civil at the venue and they say no confetti so I was hoping to have confetti since i'm now having a church. I have seen bubble and confetti photos and they both look good on the photographs.. Hadn't really thought about it but now I want to be greedy and have both lol x

    We're not allowed confetti so are going for freeze dried rose petals - I thought about bubbles but was worried about stains on the dress and also wasn't sure if it would show up on the photos x
