The Best Wedding Confetti Ideas Devon and Somerset – Make Your Photos Pop!

Confetti moments are one of the most joyful and iconic parts of any wedding day – that pure, just-married happiness surrounded by colour, laughter, and love. As a wedding photographer covering Devon, Somerset, and the South West of England, I’ve seen so many creative ways couples have made their confetti photos stand out. So, I wanted to share my top tips and favourite Best Wedding Confetti Ideas Devon and Somerset to help you plan your own picture-perfect moment.

Choosing the Best Wedding Confetti Ideas Devon and Somerset for Stunning Photos

Let’s start with my number-one pick: paper circle confetti – or as I like to call it, the hero of confetti photos! Tissue paper circles are lightweight, colourful, and have the best air time of all. They float beautifully, giving you that dreamy, fluttering effect in your photos. You can find biodegradable paper confetti options too, which are better for the environment, though some venues in Devon and Somerset may not allow even biodegradable options due to cleanup rules – so it’s always worth checking first.

If you’re planning an intimate wedding where a full confetti tunnel might not be possible, confetti cannons are such a fun and dramatic choice! They create a big burst of colour and excitement in just one go, perfect for smaller guest lists or even for your first dance photos.

Petal Confetti – Classic and Romantic

The second most popular choice I see at weddings across Devon and Somerset is petal confetti. It’s a romantic and timeless option, especially for garden or countryside weddings. However, fine petal confetti often doesn’t show up very well in photos, particularly if guests only throw a small amount.

My top tip? Go for large petal confetti or a mix of big and small petals to add variety and make sure it shows up beautifully in your photos. And remember – you can never have too much confetti!

Rice Confetti – A Touch of Tradition

Another type I’ve seen making a comeback this year is traditional rice confetti. It’s nostalgic and simple, giving your photos a vintage twist. However, just like with other types, always check with your venue as not all allow rice confetti due to cleanup or safety concerns.

Bubbles – A Fun and Magical Alternative

If your venue doesn’t allow confetti at all, bubbles are an incredible alternative! They’re mess-free, child-friendly, and look amazing in photos – especially if you have a bubble machine to create that extra dreamy atmosphere. I’ve seen bubbles work beautifully for both ceremonies and couple portraits, and they’re especially great for coastal weddings around Torbay, Barnstaple, or Tiverton where the light reflects off them perfectly.

Pom Poms – A Unique and Quirky Option

For something completely different, how about pom pom confetti? These soft, colourful little balls are trending right now for couples who want a playful, eco-friendly option. They add a fun pop of texture, are super easy to clean up, and look adorable in photos – especially for couples who love a creative, non-traditional vibe.

Final Thoughts – Creating Magical Confetti Photos

Whatever you choose, the secret to those unforgettable confetti shots is simple: use plenty of it! Whether it’s paper circles, petals, bubbles, or pom poms, having enough confetti makes a huge difference. I always recommend chatting with your photographer (that’s me, if you’re in Devon or Somerset!) about timing, positioning, and lighting to make your confetti moment absolutely perfect.

So, if you’re planning your wedding in Devon, Somerset, or the South West, and want guidance on capturing your Best Wedding Confetti Ideas Devon and Somerset in stunning, joy-filled photos, I’d love to help you make it happen.
