Wedding Confetti Cannons: Make the Moment Unforgettable
Your ceremony deserves more than a handful of petals. A confetti cannon gives you a full burst of colour the moment it counts. The kiss, the recessional, the grand exit from reception. Confettified stocks wedding confetti cannons across three fill types so you can match the venue, the vibe, and the cleanup rules without compromising on the shot.
Which Type Is Right for Your Wedding?
Eco confetti cannons
Eco confetti cannons are our best pick for outdoor ceremonies. The rice paper fill dissolves on contact with water, so a light mist or a spot of rain is all the clean up needed. They suit gardens, beaches and venues with strict clean up rules. Eco is best kept outdoors. Indoors, the dissolving action can leave a damp residue on carpet and flooring.
Metallic confetti cannons
Metallic confetti cannons give the most shimmer in photos and video. They are for indoor use only: reception exits, dance floors and halls. Metallic confetti is not biodegradable, so never fire it outdoors.
Paper confetti cannons
Paper confetti cannons are the classic choice and work indoors and outdoors. The lightweight tissue breaks down over time outside and photographs with a soft, romantic look. If you are unsure which to choose, multicolour paper is the safest all rounder.

How Many Cannons Do You Need?
We recommend 6 cannons for a wedding, shared between guests on both sides of the aisle. If it is just the stage or a single moment, such as the first kiss or first dance, 2 to 4 is plenty.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wedding Confetti Cannons
Are confetti cannons allowed at wedding venues in Australia?
Many venues allow biodegradable confetti, but rules vary, so ask yours first. Eco rice paper dissolves on contact with water, which makes clean up easy. Metallic confetti is not biodegradable and is for indoor use only. If your venue has questions, we can explain what is in each fill, and our venue guide covers what to say.
How far does a confetti cannon shoot?
Our 45cm cannons fire 6 to 10 metres in calm conditions, usually around 8. Always aim up and away from people, never at anyone. For a recessional or grand exit, aim over the top of the couple so the confetti falls from above. Outdoors in wind, angle slightly into the breeze so the confetti floats toward the couple.
Can I use confetti cannons indoors at a wedding reception?
Yes. Paper and metallic cannons work indoors, and paper is the easiest to clean up. Eco rice paper can be used indoors but we do not recommend it, because moisture can make it stick and flake. Never use holi powder or smoke cannons indoors. Check your venue's rules first.
How many confetti cannons do I need for a wedding?
We recommend 6 cannons for a wedding, shared between guests on both sides of the aisle. If it is just the stage or a single moment, such as the first kiss or first dance, 2 to 4 is plenty. Orders of 4 or more ship free by express, and volume discounts apply automatically from 4 cannons.
When is the best moment to fire confetti cannons at a wedding?
Three moments work best. The recessional (guests fire as you walk back down the aisle), the first kiss for an outdoor ceremony shot, and the grand exit from reception. For the recessional, brief guests just before the ceremony. The photos work best when everyone fires within the same two seconds.
How do I brief my guests on using confetti cannons?
A short briefing from the MC or an instruction card on each seat is enough. Twist the top counterclockwise while holding the base, aim up and over the couple. Never directly at people. Our cannons include printed instructions on every unit. For a full guide to firing technique, angles, and timing, see our step-by-step guide to using a confetti cannon.
