To Toss or Not to Toss? 5 Eco-Friendly Confetti Alternatives

Give your photographer that perfect exit shot while keeping Mother Nature (and your lovely venue) completely happy.

To Toss or Not to Toss?

That moment when you walk back down the aisle together and your guests shower you in confetti is pure magic. It makes for some of the best photos of the day!

However, many beautiful venues across Central Victoria have strict rules against traditional plastic or paper confetti—and for good reason. It’s a nightmare to clean up and bad for the local wildlife.

Here are some stunning, venue-approved alternatives:

  1. Fresh or Dried Flower Petals: Roses, lavender, or eucalyptus leaves look incredible and decompose naturally.

  2. Olive Leaves: Perfect for a rustic or winery wedding vibe.

  3. Bio-degradable Rice Paper Confetti: It melts away with the first rain or when hosed down.

  4. Bubbles: Great if you have kids at the wedding (just warn your photographer so they can adjust their lighting!).

  5. Ribbon Wands: Zero mess, highly colorful, and guests love waving them as you walk past.
