Latest Obsession

March 11th, 2011 @ 11:42 am by Mrs. Sparkler

Ticker tape-style confetti.

I’ve become obsessed with having a confetti toss as Sparks and I walk back down the aisle. It would definitely have to be biodegradable tissue confetti. In our wedding colors. No big deal. They make a lot of that stuff, right? Well, until I can find some, feast your eyes on some confetti porn. Sigh.

We did that and it was so nice! We used flutterfetti.com since it’s water-soluable. We only ordered 30 fetti-wands (150 guests) and they still made a huge impact. One of my favorite things!

Miss Sparkler,
I have recently become obsessed with confetti after reading the newest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings and seeing the program with the glassine envelope attached and filled with confetti. I love your confetti inspiration pictures and they are feeding my desire for confetti.

I love Funfetti cupcakes. I want one now! (Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to find the frosting or cake mix in Holland.)

AH!! I am basically obsessed with the band OK Go, so I immediately recognized the second picture on your post from one of their shows. Each time I see them, I leave all the confetti that fell in my purse for a couple days just so I can smile when I’m looking for my wallet.

Actually, early on in my wedding planning, I met with the bassist, Tim, to borrow one of his brooches for my wedding dress! I’ve since decided against it, but it was fun to meet him and discuss my wedding with him :)

We had this!
The pictures turned out amazing and my dad was able to dissolve it by just spraying it with a water hose. Here is the website we got it from: http://www.artistryinmotion.com/

Wheee! The second to last picture is insane!! Would love to have confetti at our nuptials but that’s one of the few no-go’s. I shall live vicariously through the Sparklers!
