One of the most anticipated moments of a wedding is the moment when the couple emerges from the church for the first time as man and wife to a shower of confetti. However, is this the confetti the Italians often refer to?
The word confetti comes from the Italian word confectionary which was used to describe sweetmeats, sugar-coated grains and nuts. For Italians, it's the sweet treat that is playfully tossed at the bride and groom, symbolizing best wishes for fertility and good luck.
The use of confetti ribbons which are made with either paper or plastic came about mainly due to the fact it's rather painful to be hit with a deluge of nuts. Ribbons make better sceneries and create beautiful pictures. Today confetti comes in an infinite variety of styles and colors ranging from basic ribbons to metallic or dazzling shapes celebrating every occasion.
Confetti's rise in popularity has been mainly due to the fact that it is available in a variety of shapes and bright colors, so it's fun for everyone to enjoy. Confetti can also be personalized into items such as confetti hearts. They are very affordable and the quantity of one pack is vast compared to the price.
The ribbons are generally sold by the bag or in lengths. When bought by the bag there is less work to be done as it is already prepared, however, when bought by the length you have the option of getting it customized.
Choosing the perfect confetti ribbons for your wedding can be a bit confusing, however, they are several things to consider and decide on in order to make the best decision. You can choose which to use based on the following information:
