Why not take a look and see some of our confetti in action!

All of our biodegradable wedding confetti is sold by the litre. When you purchase a quantity of 1, you will receive 1 full litre of confetti.

Because our range of natural dried petal confetti varies in petal size, texture, and weight, selling by weight can be inconsistent and misleading. Measuring confetti by volume ensures you receive a fair, accurate amount every time — regardless of the type of petals you choose.

Selling confetti by the litre also makes it easier to plan for your wedding day, helping you estimate how much confetti you need for guests, confetti shots, and venue requirements. It’s the most transparent and reliable way to supply eco-friendly wedding confetti while ensuring consistent quality across our entire range.

Please see our guide on How We Measure Our Confetti for more information.

We supply confetti in different methods, but most commonly in 1 litre bagged amounts. To clarify, the bags themselves actually hold a quantity of over 1 litre, so the bags are not 100% full to the brim. This is to ensure there is some space left around the petals to help cushion and avoid them being crushed during transport.

We measure the confetti volume with a litre jug prior to it being bagged and always ensure we add a little bit extra anyway.

And how far does a litre of confetti go? Well, it's hard to be precise on this of course but we try to help by giving some guidance...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.

Please see our Petal Size Guide for some useful information that will also help you choose the correct volume.

It's totally up to you of course but from our experience we'd always say account for every single guest!

We get regular feedback from customers who said they were so pleased they bought enough for all, as there would've been some disappointed faces if left out right at the special moment! People just love to join in at the end of the day.

Please see our Petal Size Guide for some useful information that will also help you choose the correct volume.

Our confetti products are dried natural petals, however we do use dyes in certain petals. Where relevant, this will be outlined within the product description.

Also please note that these petals are a natural product, therefore we cannot guarantee the colour will stay put if they get wet.

We do offer a sample service if you want to test in order to put your mind at rest.
