Pom Pom Confetti
My favourite confetti idea of all time, being showered by pom poms as you make your way down the aisle is as fun as it gets! Just remember to check with your venue first, and delegate someone to do the clean-up!

Tips for Using Pom Poms in Your Wedding
- Pom poms are relatively easy to make. For wool, you can try the old school card method or, buy a handy-dandy pom pom maker! For tissue pom poms, you can also DIY these or, find them in discount or party stores.
- Pom poms will always look better in clusters rather than alone and pairing different sizes of pom poms will also create the best visual impact.
- Pro styling tip: Always hang pom poms in odd numbers, 3, 5 or 7 so they don't look too symmetrical.
- Make a few extra tissue paper balls to scatter on the floor and on tables to give the entire space added pops of colour.
- Plan out your colours carefully, you can opt for a kaleidoscope of colour or go for an ombre aesthetic with similar tones.
