Petal Size Guide

We are often asked questions about our confetti petal size, shape and volume...So we've tried to supply some useful guidance that clarifies different petal sizes, what a typical loose handful looks like and how much you'll need to make sure everyone can get involved!


So just how far will a litre of confetti go? Well, it's hard to be precise on this of course but we try to help by giving some idea. With small petal confetti, we estimate that 1 litre of confetti will provide 10-15 loose handfuls and fill around 15-20 packets. (For extra detail, we define a 'loose handful' as the exact amount of a double shot glass, i.e 50ml - Not a small scattering but not a huge mound either, just the typical amount someone would hold to throw)

With medium/large petal confetti, we estimate that 1 litre of confetti will provide 8-12 loose handfuls and fill around 10-15 packets. 

If you're wanting to scatter the confetti down the aisle prior to the ceremony, we loosely estimate that 1 litre of natural confetti scattered lightly will cover approximately a metre.

Medium Petal Confetti

Here you're looking at our classic Snow White Hydrangea, which we class as a medium petal confetti. This gives a sense of its volume and shape.

The individual petal size for this confetti type ranges from 10mm - 40mm.

Large Petal Confetti

Last but by no means least, here is our vivid Green Hydrangea which we class as a large petal confetti. This gives a sense of its volume and shape.
