Litres of petals vary in serving sizes, most petal mixes serve around 10 per litre, please see the description on each individual mix for accurate servings, or pop us a message stating the exact mix you'd like information on. For our paper confetti we think the best serving size would be around 4 grams per person to allow for some fantastic photographs.

We do have a naturally dried petal confetti section which means petals have been untreated if you'd prefer.
  • For paper confetti it's probably best not to get it wet and leave it attached to clothing as eventually the colours may run, if this concerns you, opting for white confetti may be your best solution. For petal confetti the same rule applies, for naturally dried confetti when they can still leave a mark, although will most likely wash out, like a grass stain or flower, if this is something that bothers you, opting for white petals will be your best solution.
