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 are our most venue friendly option outdoors. The rice paper fill dissolves instantly on water contact, so a light misting or a single rainfall is all the cleanup your venue needs. Ideal for outdoor ceremonies, beach weddings, and heritage listed venues with strict cleanup requirements. Note: eco fill is best kept outdoors. Indoors, the dissolving action can leave a damp residue on carpet and flooring.
Metallic confetti cannons are the highest impact option for photos and video. The shimmer catches light in ways paper cannot. Best for reception exits and indoor dance floors. Most outdoor venues restrict metallic confetti as it is not biodegradable, so check with your coordinator before ordering.
Paper (biodegradable) confetti cannons are the classic choice. All paper fill breaks down with rain, sits beautifully on lawns, and photographs with a soft, romantic look. A smart choice when you want biodegradable credentials without the instant dissolve of eco. The most versatile option for both indoor and outdoor use.
How Many Cannons Do You Need?
For a recessional tunnel where guests line up on both sides and fire as you walk through, most weddings use 2 to 6 cannons spread between the key people in frame. For those after the full wall of colour effect seen in professional wedding photos, 12 or more cannons fired simultaneously delivers that result. There is no wrong answer. It comes down to how big a moment you want to create.

Frequently Asked Questions: Wedding Confetti Cannons
Are confetti cannons allowed at wedding venues in Australia?
Most venues allow biodegradable or eco confetti cannons. Eco fill (rice paper) dissolves on water contact, making cleanup straightforward for even the strictest venues. Metallic is generally restricted outdoors as it is not biodegradable. If your venue has questions, we can provide a sample. See our full venue guide for what each type means in practice.
How far does a confetti cannon shoot?
Our 45cm cannons fire confetti approximately 8 to 10 metres in calm conditions. Always aim up and away from people. Never directly at anyone. For a recessional or grand exit, aim over the top of the couple so the confetti falls from above. Outdoors with wind, angle slightly into the breeze so the confetti floats toward the couple rather than away.
Can I use confetti cannons indoors at a wedding reception?
Paper confetti cannons are well suited to indoor use and easy to clean up. We recommend against using eco fill indoors. The rice paper dissolves on contact with moisture and can leave a damp residue on carpet and flooring. Metallic should be cleared with your venue first. For indoor moments, paper is the safest and most practical choice.
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.
