We are in a natural, rural environment which backs onto a freshwater creek. As such we have to be diligent with what falls onto the ground, as often with the wind and environmental factors, it’s impossible to fully collect confetti. We allow natural, white flower petals only, to avoid staining, and to avoid the slip hazard associated with other natural confettis. We absolutely do not allow plastic or artificial confetti products.
