Looking for solution to this reception issue (confetti related) Need smart brains, Please help!!!

Metallic confetti on its own will just fall in a lump, trust me. You can get it mixed with white or one of your wedding colors and it will be fine, though.

Before you look into this, make sure you ask your venue if this is ok. My venue specifically said no confetti or pixie sparkly dust of any kind.

And if they ok it, I would actually ask your DJ what their thoughts are. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

Lol! Ummm.... record it and play it back in slow motion.

A gentle snowfall effect can be created out of a cloth net or series of small boxes. These devices offer a slow, gentle confetti drop that lasts longer than the net or balloon methods.

To create a snowfall effect using a net, secure a large piece of cloth between two long poles. Cut thin slits in the cloth that run perpendicular to the poles. Fill the cloth with confetti and hang the poles above the event area. Attach two long ropes to each of the poles. Throughout the event, an operator must alternate pulling on the two ropes. This will cause the poles to move the cloth, pushing the confetti around and allowing some to drop through the cuts in the fabric.

Use a series of small cardboard boxes to rain confetti on the crowd. Cut small slits in the bottom of the boxes and string several boxes on a long rope. Fill each box with confetti. For a grander effect, use multiple ropes strung with confetti-laden boxes. Throughout the event, operators will pull on the ends of the ropes, causing the boxes to rock back and forth so that confetti falls through the cuts in the bottom.

Almost none of my venues allow confetti any more. How about a smoke machine?

I have no idea how to accomplish this, but just want to second that none of the venues I looked at allowed confetti, so definitely double-check!

Fans blowing up towards the confetti maybe?

Glitter always falls slowly but it is almost impossible to clean up. have you thought about maybe flower petals or having a bubble machine?

I bet your DJ or a lighting person can use light to look like snowflakes -- and no clean up required!

Go with light.

I cannot have confetti at my venue not sparklers but thanks to some lovely ladies on here they offered the suggestion of flower petals. So, I googled some images and turns out.... I LOVE IT EVEN MORE! I think the idea you have seems magical and beautiful but if it doesn't work them you may consider flower petals (check Sam's club online, 5,000 petals for 80.00). I'm picturing it now and I think it would be stunning and so unique during your dance!

I'm 2 years late to the party on this one, but you want Mylar confetti. It's shiny, silver, light-weight, and floats down slowly. It's not cheap, though.
