FAQS
Are the petals biodegradable?
All our petals are real, dried petals - so yes, they're completely biodegradable.
Are the petals dyed?
No, all our petals are 100% natural with no perfumes or dyes added.
How much confetti will I need?
You can generally work on 1 litre of petals to fill around 10 standard confetti cones (such as our cones). We refer to a cone-full as a handful of petals - so, that's 10 cones or 10 handfuls per litre of petals. It's not normally considered necessary to cater for the full quantity of guests. However, there seems to be a growing trend with venues to try & encourage all the guests to participate - so, it may be worth having a chat with your venue to see how they organise confetti throwing. If they try to get everyone involved then this might influence how many guests you wish to cater for.
How long will the petals last?
These are dried petals, so there's no need to have the stress of a last minute delivery! In many cases, dried petal confetti can keep for up to one year provided they are stored carefully. However, we usually recommend you purchase for delivery around 4-12 weeks prior to your wedding/event date. If you have your petals delivered further ahead, you may find you experience some deterioration of your petals, in particular, the colour. You can, of course, purchase whenever you are ready and ask us to delay dispatch of your order with our Pre-Order Service (we dispatch 4 weeks prior to your wedding date) - so that you don't need to worry about long term storage.
How should I store my petals?
We advise the petals be stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. The light will fade your petals & humidity encourages the petals to biodegrade.
