DIY Confetti Cones

I just love these DIY confetti cones from Celebrations!

They come with 25 sheets of parchment-style paper, personalised with your initials, plus 25 gold bow seals, and enough sun-dried rose petals to fill them as shown in the picture below.

Complete with simple instructions and a specially-designed white dispensing box to ensure they don't fall over whilst waiting to be handed to your guests - a special insert holds the cones in place.

What a bargain at £19.95 for a box of 25! Personalisation alone is usually pretty pricey so this is a great buy!

Cool Britannia...

With a royal wedding on the way, what could be more apt than a 'cool britannia' themed weddding!

Confetti have some fab themed favours, decorations, invitations etc- check it out!

Lovely Lilac Inspiration!

A lovely soft, spring colour that can be incorporated within a rustic (think DIY favours - lavendar wraped in ribbon), vintage or modern theme (polka dot favour boxes).

Here are some flower ideas to match a lilac theme:

• Anemone
• Aster
• Dahlias
• Freesia
• Gladiola
• Hyacinth
• Hydrangea
• Iris
• Lilac
• Lily
• Orchid
• Phlox
• Rose
