So, you’re planning the big day, and you want that confetti moment to be picture-perfect, right? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Let me spill the beans on how to get the shot that will make everyone swoon.
First things first, let’s talk type. There are all sorts out there, from metallic to dried flower and biodegradable paper. Now, I’m all about that eco-friendly vibe, so my top pick is definitely the biodegradable paper. Not only is it better for the environment, but it also looks amazing in photos and won’t harm any little critters that might stumble upon it later.
Now, when it comes to positioning your guests for the ultimate shot, it’s all about strategic placement. Firstly, the best time for this moment is just after the wedding ceremony. Ask your venue staff to escort your guests to the desired location. Before the day, give one of the bridal party the job to hand out confetti at the door. I will then align your guests into two lines, and you’ll be able to walk through the middle for max confetti coverage. Pro tip: Avoid having guests hold drinks during this moment. Ask your venue not to serve drinks to your guest until after. Trust me, you don’t want any guests accidental throwing a drink instead!
Here’s a golden rule: always buy more than you think you’ll need. Seriously, you can never have too much! The more, the merrier! Plus, it makes for the most epic photos. I mean, who doesn’t love a confetti blizzard?
Now, let’s talk location. You can have your confetti moment indoors or outside, but personally, I’m all about that outdoor vibe. There’s just something magical about being surrounded by nature while celebrating love and happiness. Plus, the natural light is perfect for these shots.
But before you start throwing confetti willy-nilly, make sure to check with your venue about any rules or regulations. Some venues can be strict on the type you use, and may not allow any at all. The last thing you want is to get in trouble for leaving a glittery mess behind, and a bill for the clean up!
And finally, the most important tip of all: have fun and enjoy the moment! This is your time to shine, so don’t stress about getting the perfect shot. Just let loose and soak in all the love and laughter surrounding you.
So there you have it, folks! Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be sure to capture the perfect confetti shot that you’ll cherish forever… Isabelle xx
