Think rich, warm shades of biodegradable natural petals that are grown on a Shropshire farm – perfect for eco-friendly brides.
1. Berry tones
Berries are a sign of autumn, which makes their rich colours perfect for an autumn wedding. Include a subtle hint of berry colours into your confetti with the Pinch of Plum confetti mix. This delicate mix of icing sugar delphinium petals and marjoram creates a beautiful blend of ivory, green and purple.
Pinch of Plum: £11.50 per litre
Top tip: Add some berry-shaded, larger petals, such as damson wine rose petals for that extra splash of colour.

In autumn the leaves change from green to gold and brown. A mix of ivory delphinium petals with some stunning brown and gold sunflower petals will really stand out in your wedding photos.

3. Bright and beautiful
Red and orange are vivid autumnal colours. Coral Reef is a delicate mix of candy floss, icing sugar and clementine rosepetal. This combination is perfect if you want something bright and beautiful to suit your theme.

4. Darker shades
Complement the darker days with Tuxedo, a mix of black and ivory delphinium and cornflower petals. Tone it down by adding some golden slumber rose petals or some smaller ‘honey’b petals.
