But First, A Note on Using Confetti at Your Wedding!

Before you decide on your sustainable confetti alternative, be sure to check whether it's permitted at your church and/or wedding venue. Some venues ban the use of confetti because of how difficult it can be to clear up! It's also a good idea to let your photographer know if you're having a confetti exit, so they can prepare to get those all-important photographs!

1. Dried Flower Petals

If you're looking for a sustainable confetti alternative to the classic wedding confetti, eco-friendly, freeze-dried flowers are the way to go! You can ask your florist to source dried petal confetti, buy freeze dried petals online (In Ireland, check out rosepetals.ie and in the UK, check out Shropshire Petals) or, you can even DIY your own confetti by drying out flowers in the months leading up to the wedding. It's one of our favourite, easy and inexpensive wedding DIYs, and Søstrene Grene has a brilliant video tutorial on how to make your very own eco-friendly confetti using dried flowers .

2. Leaves

Leaves can create a beautiful confetti effect when tossed at the newlyweds! You can choose fresh leaves such as olive, oak or eucalyptus, or, for an Autumn or Winter wedding, choose golden dried leaves such as beech, ash and maple. If you'd prefer a smaller-sized confetti, choose a strong leaf, and use a hole punch to punch out small circles (I Do Y'all has a handy tutorial) and voila, you've your very own natural confetti! One leaf will create plenty of confetti pieces which you can use fresh or dry out for your big day. Good for the environment, and your wedding budget!

3. Biodegradable Confetti

There are now lots of biodegradable confetti options that offer that classic confetti feel, but with a much better outcome for the environment. Made up of earth-friendly mixes, most biodegradable confetti products are natural, made from dried flowers or dye-free materials that are compostable or water-soluble. This means that you may not need to clean it up if the confetti toss is outdoors, although you should always check with your venue first.

4. Lavender

Who doesn’t love the smell of lavender? We love the idea of a lavender confetti toss acting as a signature scent for your wedding day! You can find lots of great options online, from local Lavender farms (in Ireland, check out LAVÓ Wicklow and Wexford Lavender Farm and if you're in the UK, check out Cotswold Lavender and Somerset Lavender), or make your own if you have your own home-grown dried lavender. A word of warning though, this one can be difficult to clear up!

5. Herbs

Dried herb send-offs are trending and we think it's an amazing sustainable confetti alternative! Just imagine a warm Summer's day with the scent of dried mint wafting through the air, or fresh rosemary leaves at a Winter celebration! Just make sure that you select herbs that aren't poisonous if ingested by animals. Pop them into personalised wedding cones or envelopes for guests to scatter at the end of the ceremony, or you could even set up a confetti station where guests can make their own herb blend!

6. Bells

Probably the cutest of all the wedding confetti alternatives, some couples choose the chimes of tiny tinkling bells over traditional confetti! We also love the idea of sourcing vintage bells rather than buying new, to make this an even more sustainable option. You could invite guests to take them home as favours, if you like!

7. Fresh Flower Petals

If you have your heart set on being showered by flowers, a good option is to use fresh flowers such as rose petals for your wedding confetti toss. Much like dried petals and leaves, fresh flower petals biodegrade fast and add can lots colour. You can even add in some small fresh flower heads such as hydrangea, delphiniums or daisies to add extra colour and texture. This is one of the pricier options on our list but the effect really is lovely!

8. Birdseed

Birdseed at weddings actually pre-dates confetti - the tradition is said to date back to ancient Rome! It makes a gorgeous sustainable confetti alternative, as it can support biodiversity by aiding the growth of wildflowers. Just be sure to source genuine birdseed that's suitable for the birds in your area, as well as for a confetti toss - no dried insects, please!

9. Baby's Breath Confetti

The white, fluffy, dainty buds of Gypsophila (also known as baby's breath) lend themselves perfectly to confetti tosses. It’s easily sourced, and a fantastic universal flower, so whether you’re having a classic, modern or rustic wedding, baby’s breath can work perfectly. Simply pull or snip the buds from the stems to get yourself those natural, fluffy white pom poms!

10. Ribbon Wands

Ribbon wands are a fun, colourful option that create a beautiful moment as you make your way down the aisle as newlyweds. Guests can wave them in the air for gorgeous photos, and because they can be kept and reused, they offer a lovely way to celebrate without leaving anything behind on the ground.

11. Seed Paper Confetti

Seed paper confetti is a unique and visually interesting way to add a touch of sustainability to your wedding confetti toss. You can choose a neutral mix, or opt for a colourful blend to create a rainbow confetti shower!

12. Bubbles

Instead of confetti, why not blow bubbles? Blowing bubbles is a relatively cheap and environmentally-friendly alternative to confetti - they look pretty in photographs, and leave no trace. Just be aware that bubble sets usually feature single-use plastic, so, if you're keen to reduce waste, you could try using glass jars and/or making your own instead.

BBC Good Food has a handy homemade bubble mixture recipe (we'd recommend using a clear dish soap to avoid dress stains!), and The Inspired Bride has a great wedding bubble favour DIY, which you could use with recycled glass jars! Just be sure to ask your boutique how your wedding dress will react to water, first - bubbles are a no-go for silk, for example, as they'll leave water marks.

They wanted to create a beautifully relaxed and fabulously fun atmosphere for their loved ones. Exchanging vows in a glorious garden ceremony they held their elegant reception in the rustic Hunter's Yard. The photos from Magda Lukas of Written in the Stars Weddings will steal your heart instantly.

Anita and Ronan are both from Cork and they have interlinking friend groups which saw them start dating in 2015. "The first night we properly met I had made plans to go out for a few drinks with a friend of mine who was also friends with one of Ronan's friends. She invited us to go for a couple of drinks at Ronan's house before heading to town. So the first time we properly met was when I was knocking on his front door! We got on straight away and went on our first date a week later."

We couldn't be more in love with Anita's bridal look. She sourced her sleek Atelier Pronovias gown from The White Room in Mullingar and her mother made her romantic 3D floral veil as Anita could not find a style she loved when she was shopping. The bride completed her magical ensemble with floral drop earrings from One Dame Lane and Prada slingback heels.

The couple got engaged on Ronan's 30th birthday weekend. The romantic groom had originally planned to propose while they were on the beach walking their dog Luna and he had been bringing Anita to different beaches for weeks to throw her off the scent. The day he popped the question, a Red weather warning was issued in Cork due to Storm Eunice. He had actually booked Hayfield Manor for that night with a surprise engagement party planned and his 30th birthday party the following night and there was no way a storm was going to stop him pulling off his plan.

Anita recalls, "I was in the hairdressers getting my hair done as I thought we were heading out for his birthday so getting me out for a walk in Storm Eunice wasn't easy but agreed as the dog had to be walked! The beach was off the table due to a fallen tree blocking the road so we went to Fitzgerald's Park. We were, naturally, the only two people there but the sun came out for 10 minutes so he took his moment. He had arranged for my sister and friend to fly home from London to surprise me at the birthday/engagement party the following night."

The couple exchanged vows in a glorious garden ceremony on the tiered lawn outside the manor house with Jessica Statham acting as officiant.

Their ceremony included the gorgeous poem How Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog which offers equal doses of hilarity and sweetness. "My oldest friend Fiona read it and Ronan changed a few of the words
around to incorporate our dog Luna into the reading."

Tracy Gallagher created the stunning soundtrack to their special day and in a magical musical moment Ronan's cousin played guitar and sang them up the aisle. "It was really special as he had done so for all Ronan’s siblings."

Anita's jaw-dropping contemporary bouquet had a trailing feel. Just look at those orchids!

Beautiful in blush! Anita's bridal besties wore lustrous halterneck soft pink bridesmaids dresses from ASOS.

The couple knew they had found their dream wedding venue they minute they drove through the gates of Mount Juliet Estate. Anita explains, "You get a sense of luxury but without a sense of pretentiousness. We stayed three nights in Mount Juliet and had our second day there also. What I loved about it was that there were basically two hotels - Hunter's Yard and the manor house. We had our wedding reception and dinner at Hunter's yard, and our Day Two at the manor house so it actually felt like two separate places. I also knew I wanted to get married outdoors (weather permitting) and the tiered garden with the backdrop of the manor house was one of the most gorgeous places I could have pictured getting married - we couldn't really go anywhere else after seeing it!"

As for their wedding aesthetic, Anita was driven by her love for modern, minimalist and elegant style. "I like things to have a touch of class but without being in your face. I think this is why I loved Mount Juliet so much."

Anita created their modern and minimalist wedding stationery herself ordering everything from Etsy.

After seeing their divine day we wanted to know all about how they brought it to life. "I originally had no idea what style I liked for weddings so found myself scrolling through Pinterest and saving pictures I liked. I think this is a great way for couples to quickly realise their style. It wasn't long before I realised all my photos were carbon copies of each other. I'm not a big fan of colour."

Fun fact: The bride and groom made their wedding cake the night before travelling to Kilkenny!

Another utterly magical moment came as the couple shared their first dance as husband and wife to Newton Faulkner's Dream Catch Me. They had the perfect wedding band enlisted to ensure an epic night of fun on the dancefloor, The Mixtape.

The couple kept the celebrations going with a fabulous Day Two BBQ which was also a sun-kissed affair. Held outside the manor house, musician Jon Sadlier served up hits on the piano and guitar that ensured everyone was on their feet. "The energy was electric and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. As Jon was clearing away his equipment and we were all heading inside where the DJ set up it started to rain, and i don't think think the rain stopped for the whole of July! So we count ourselves extremely lucky."

Anita and Ronan went to Mexico straight after the wedding and they would highly recommend it. "July was meant to be the rainy season but we didn't get rain once so I wouldn't let that put you off. We had originally planned to wait a couple of months to go away but I would definitely recommend going straight after the wedding while you are still on a wedding high and needing some much deserved rest!"

Congratulations Anita and Ronan! A very special thank you to our fabulous couple and Magda Lukas of Written in the Stars Weddings for sharing today's magical Mount Juliet wedding with One Fab Day!
