Delayed dispatch lets you place your Confetti Bee order in advance and have it sent closer to your wedding or event date. Confetti Bee offers this so customers can order early without needing to store their confetti for longer than necessary.

You can place a delayed dispatch order up to 24 months before your wedding or event. 

When placing your order, select Yes "Delay my Order" enter your wedding or event date. We will then schedule your order to be sent 4 weeks before the event.

Delayed dispatch helps you tick confetti off your wedding to-do list early, spread your wedding budget over time, and avoid last-minute stress or disappointment if products become unavailable.

Yes. Confetti Bees delayed dispatch means your confetti will arrive as a fresh batch, regardless of how long ago you placed the order.

Yes. Delayed dispatch is a good option if you want to order early but would prefer not to store the confetti at home until nearer your event. Once the confetti arrives, it is your responsibility to store it correctly.

Natural petal confetti should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A dry cupboard, wardrobe, drawer, or another dark storage space is ideal.

Yes. Petal confetti is best stored in a sealed bag, airtight container, or Tupperware-style box. This helps protect the petals from moisture, air exposure, and light.

No. Petal confetti should always be kept dry. Moisture can cause the petals to wilt, clump together, fade, or degrade, so avoid storing it near condensation, damp walls, cupboards, bathrooms, kitchens, or anywhere that could be prone to leaks.

No. Direct sunlight or strong artificial light can cause natural petals to fade over time. Store your confetti somewhere dark to help preserve its colour.

When stored correctly in a cool, dry, dark place, Confetti Bee’s dried petal confetti can last around 6–12 months.

It is best not to repeatedly remove petal confetti from its packaging and put it back again. Keeping it sealed and protected will help preserve its quality.

Confetti Bee recommends decanting confetti into your chosen wedding packaging around 2 days before your wedding or event. Once filled, keep the packaging somewhere cool, dry, and away from sunlight and moisture.

Yes. Silica gel packets can help absorb moisture in the air and may help protect natural petal confetti while it is being stored.

Paper confetti should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keeping it sealed in its original bag or another protective container will help keep it in the best condition.

Biodegradable paper confetti can last up to 2 years when stored correctly.

No. Paper confetti should be kept away from moisture. If it becomes damp, it may clump together or lose its quality.

Yes. Paper confetti is a good option for couples planning ahead because, when stored correctly, it can remain in excellent condition for a long time.

A cool, dry cupboard, drawer, wardrobe, or storage box is ideal. Avoid windowsills, conservatories, garages, bathrooms, damp cupboards, hot rooms, and anywhere exposed to direct sunlight or humidity.

Natural petal confetti is a beautiful choice for wedding photos. At Confetti Bee we especially recommends natural hydrangea petals, as their larger size, delicate detail, and gentle floating effect help create a romantic, picture-perfect confetti moment.

Hydrangea petals are light, crisp, and float gracefully when thrown. Because they fall more slowly, photographers have a little extra time to capture the perfect confetti shot.

EverFloat® Confetti is Confetti Bee’s exclusive collection of natural hydrangea petal confetti. It is designed to float beautifully through the air, helping create magical, airy confetti photos.

Yes. Larger petal confetti tends to show up more clearly on camera, reflect light better, and float for longer than smaller or heavier pieces such as Rose Petals. This can make the confetti more visible and impactful in photos.

For elegant wedding photography, at Confetti Bee we highlight larger petal confetti as a strong option because it reflects light well and floats longer when thrown. Paper confetti can still work well, especially for bright, playful, or party-style photos.

Bright colours such as pink and yellow can really pop against a background, while softer or neutral tones create a more romantic and elegant look. The best colour choice depends on your wedding theme, venue, outfits, and the overall style you want in your photos.

Yes. Choosing confetti that complements your wedding colours can help your photos look more coordinated. Confetti Bee’s hydrangea petals come in a wide range of colours, from bold shades to subtle tones, so you can match your chosen wedding aesthetic.

Natural hydrangea petal confetti is ideal for a soft, romantic look. Its light texture creates an airy, fluttering effect as it falls, which can make wedding photos feel elegant and magical.

Choose brighter confetti colours or a mixed-colour blend if you want a more vibrant, eye-catching photo. Confetti Bee suggests that bright colours can stand out beautifully against different backgrounds.

You need enough confetti to be clearly visible in the shot. Too little confetti may not create the full effect, while too much in a small space can look cluttered. The right amount depends on your venue, number of guests, and the type of photo you want.

Good lighting, a simple background, careful timing, and clear instructions for guests can all help. Natural light works particularly well because it enhances the colours of the confetti and gives the photo a soft glow.

Plan the confetti shot in advance with your photographer and venue. Make sure there is enough time in the schedule, choose a suitable location, and let guests know when and how to throw the confetti.

Choose a location with good light, enough space for guests to throw confetti, and a background that will not distract from the moment. Outdoor settings with natural light often work beautifully.

Yes. Encourage guests to throw confetti upwards or over the couple, rather than directly at their faces. Throws from different heights and directions can create more movement and make the final photo feel more joyful and natural.

Yes. Confetti Bee’s natural petal confetti is biodegradable and can still create stunning photos. It is also a practical choice for venues that require biodegradable confetti.

Confetti Bee sells natural petal confetti by the litre because dried petals vary in size, texture, and weight. Measuring by volume gives customers a fair and consistent amount, no matter which petal type they choose.

Selling by weight can be misleading because different petals weigh different amounts. Some petals are lighter, some are heavier, and some are larger or more textured. A weight-based measurement could mean customers receive very different-looking amounts depending on the petal type.

If you order a quantity of 1, you will receive 1 full litre of confetti.

Not exactly. Smaller petals will look like a higher number of petals, while larger petals will look like fewer individual pieces. However, each option is still measured as 1 full litre by volume.

With smaller petal confetti, you receive a higher volume of individual petals. With medium petals, you receive fewer individual petals than small types but more than large types. With large petals, you receive fewer individual petals because each petal takes up more space.

Confetti Bee estimates that 1 litre of small petal confetti provides around 10–15 loose handfuls and fills approximately 15–20 packets.

Confetti Bee estimates that 1 litre of medium or large petal confetti provides around 8–12 loose handfuls and fills approximately 10–15 packets.

A loose handful is measured as approximately 50ml, which is the same as a double shot glass. It is intended to represent a typical amount someone would hold to throw.

As a rough guide, Confetti Bee estimates that 1 litre of natural confetti scattered lightly will cover approximately 1 metre of aisle.

The bags Confetti Bee uses can hold more than 1 litre, so they are not filled right to the brim. This leaves air space around the petals, helping cushion them and reduce crushing during transport.

Confetti Bee measures the confetti by volume using a 1 litre jug before it is bagged. We also add a little extra.

Yes. Confetti Bee says selling by the litre is the most transparent and reliable way to supply eco-friendly wedding confetti while keeping quality consistent across the range.

Confetti Bee recommends accounting for every guest as a minimum, as guests love to join in the confetti moment and it avoids anyone being left out.
