Every bride loves the idea of having a confetti moment when it doesn’t have to do with paper-puncher bits that stick to makeup and hair. Make your own coloured paper cones, insert doillies and fasten with ribbons and tags. On your big day, fill them with pretty, real confetti petals, which you can get at stores like Wedding Gifts Singapore (www.weddinggifts.sg).
Instead of petals, have your flowergirl announce your arrival with an adorable sign.
