About The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company
Celebrating over 25 happy years of growing confetti!
The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company are the UK’s original wedding petal growers. That is to say, we have led the way in beautiful, natural, biodegradable confetti since 1997. We still use the same carefully developed methods of planting, handpicking and naturally drying our flower petals. As a result, this ensures we only supply the very highest quality wedding confetti.
Most importantly, the confetti moment is a quintessential wedding day experience! One that you won’t want to miss. Certainly, taking your first steps together under a flurry of flower petals is quite magical! The idea of throwing real flower petals is both simple and beautiful. In addition, our petals biodegrade as naturally as blossom. Therefore, our confetti has long been loved by happy couples, churches and venues. Now, more and more couples are looking to make eco-friendly and sustainable wedding day choices. So our real flower petals are perfect!
Consequently, flower petal confetti from the Wyke Manor Estate has been used at tens of thousands of weddings worldwide. Including those of celebrities and Royalty! And they have also been used to bring a touch of romance to TV and feature films too.
You can come and see the petals growing! The Confetti Flower Field will bloom again in late June/early July 2024. Please join our mailing list at the bottom of this page to hear the flowers field news and future open dates.

The story of The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company
Charles Hudson was looking for ways to diversify the farming on the Wyke Manor Estate when he stumbled upon the idea of real flower confetti…
The story of The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company began on a late spring afternoon in 1997. Charles paused outside the village churchyard on his way home. Strewn around the lych-gate were tiny wet pieces of coloured paper, debris from an earlier wedding. In other words, it had turned the church entrance into an eyesore.
So Charles could see why so many churches ban the use of confetti within church grounds. However, it seemed such a shame that the wedding celebrations could not have started as the happy couple stepped out of the church. After he arrived home, some petals fell from the flower bouquet he was carrying for his wife. In short, he experienced a ‘EUREKA’ moment – and the idea of real flower petal confetti was born!
The best blooms handpicked
Charles experimented with many flowers and carefully developed his own delicate process of drying petals. That is to say, we use just sunshine and fresh air. Eventually, Charles chose delphiniums and cornflowers as his confetti petals. Because, above all, they retain their lovely shape and natural colour when dried.
So now, a huge field of flowers blooms on the Wyke Manor Estate each summer. It’s quite a sight to behold! We then pick all the petals by hand, mix them by hand, and send them out to weddings all over the world.
The demand for our natural, biodegradable confetti grew, and as a result, Charles added new flower petals to the range. In addition to our homegrown petals we have rose petals, hydrangeas, and lavender. Furthermore, we went on to design a beautiful collection of handmade confetti cones, baskets, pretty packaging and lucky bridal horseshoes. It’s all about the finishing touches!
