Bring Loads of Confetti

This might seem obvious, but it's key! Make sure you have plenty of confetti for everyone to create a magical cloud around you. The more confetti, the more jaw-dropping your photos will be!

Take It Slow and Enjoy

Here's a pro tip: Take your time walking through the confetti tunnel. Resist the urge to rush; instead, stroll at a leisurely pace. This gives your photographer the chance to capture every single joyful moment. Plus, it allows your guests to toss confetti high in the air, creating an epic visual explosion!
