Add an extra bit of sparkle to your wedding ceremony or reception with the help of confetti! 

The tradition of throwing confetti at a newlywed couple began in ancient Rome or perhaps even earlier. Back then, the bride and groom were showered with grain and local seed to symbolize fertility and fruitfulness. Today, variations of this tradition are used in weddings all around the world. Confetti comes in all different shapes, sizes and colours making it easy to choose one that compliments your wedding theme or style. From paper confetti to glitter, rose petals to biodegradable rice, the confetti choices are endless!

Just as important as the confetti itself is the way you present it to your guests. Let's face it: confetti can be messy. These simple DIY cones are not only pretty and rustic looking, but they help to keep the confetti contained until it's time to toss. Here's how I made them:

What you'll need:

* 1 piece of cardstock or kraft paper

* Lace or ribbon

* Confetti

* Scissors

* Glue gun

* Cotton balls

* Small clothespin

* Tag

First, roll the paper into a cone shape and glue the edges closed. Next, wrap lace or ribbon around the centre of the cone and glue. Stuff the bottom of the cone with cotton balls so the confetti doesnt fall out (Note: the more cotton you use, the less confetti you will need).

Personalize your tags and fill your  cones with confetti. Fasten your tag to the front of the cone using a clothespin.

Place your finished cones in a pretty basket or crate and use them to decorate your ceremony and reception space. Not only do the cones look stunning, but they're also super convenient for guests to grab and toss!

Do you plan to incorporate confetti into your wedding?
