A bride recently asked us when people throw the confetti. There is no one answer to this as with so many wedding questions. Usually confetti is thrown at the church before the bride and groom get in the car to the reception. However there can be restrictions as to where confetti can be thrown, and often photographers lead the way so that they get a great picture of the moment.

It is a lovely tradition, but it can also be personalised. You could give young attendants bubbles to blow instead, or gather rose petals or buy personalised confetti and put into cones for guests. The tradition of rice is also lovely and simple, often the best way.
