How Do You Create The Perfect Confetti Photo?
The Confetti Moment: a magical moment capturing love, joy, and spontaneity in a single photo. It’s the kind of photo you want to cherish forever, proudly displayed on your wall as a memento of your special day.
But how do you make sure that your confetti photo is not just good, but absolutely amazing?
Here are some top expert tips to help you create that picture-perfect moment and make it truly unforgettable.
So let’s dive in and help you create your perfect confetti photo …
1. Work with Your Photographer
Your photographer will have lots of experience and practice perfecting the perfect confetti shot. So do listen to them!
Before the big day arrives, sit down with your photographer and share your vision. While confetti shots traditionally occur after leaving the ceremony, it’s essential to verify if your venue has any restrictions. For instance, some churches won’t allow you to throw confetti on their grounds.
Your photographer can provide invaluable insights into the ideal location and setup for capturing those breath-taking photos. Whether you envision your guests forming a graceful horseshoe or walking through a whimsical tunnel of confetti, your photographer will guide you in bringing that picture and moment to life.
2. Select the Perfect Confetti
The choice of confetti can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of your shot.
Consider a variety of options, such as organic paper or natural petal confetti, especially if your venue imposes restrictions. Most venues require your confetti to be biodegradable too.
Natural petals, like delicate delphiniums and vibrant wildflowers, lend an ethereal and romantic ambiance to the moment.
For an added element of excitement, why not introduce confetti cannons? Just be sure to obtain clearance from your venue beforehand!
3. There’s a way to throw!
Throwing confetti may seem straightforward, but there’s an art to it. Encourage your guests to throw upwards rather than directly in your faces; after all, who wants a mouthful of confetti? Allowing the confetti to gracefully cascade down upon you can create the perfect vibrant confetti photo.
Your photographer may wish to take the lead here and let guests know that there’s a way to shower you with confetti that creates the perfect photo. You’ll normally find me giving last minute top tips to everyone to make sure you get that perfect photo.
4. Amp Up the Confetti Supply
When it comes to confetti, more is better! Plan ahead and ensure you have an ample supply for all of your guests.
Aim for a generous handful of confetti per attendee to ensure a lush, full-bodied effect in your photos. And really, if you want a good confetti photo, as far as I’m concerned, go big or go home!
5. Maintain Poise and Radiate Joy
As the confetti rains down upon you, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the flurry of activity. However, resist the urge to shy away and instead embrace the moment with grace and poise. Keep your head held high, flash a radiant smile, and take in this magical moment with your partner. Remember, it’s going to look amazing. So relax and enjoy the moment.
6. Think Outside The Box
Confetti doesn’t have to be just petals. Oh no, confetti can be absolutely anything you want it to be. Think and be unique.
Maybe this could be bubbles or pom-poms.
