    I would like to use eco-friendly confetti as a toss after the wedding but my dress is all lace. Has anyone tried this with a lace dress? I'm concerned the pieces will get stuck in the dress, but larger, non-eco-friendly confetti is not allowed at the church. Any ideas for alternatives?

    I was thinking of trying the dissolving bath papers.  They are a glycerine type soap and should clean up very easily, and are larger than ecofetti.  I think many of us are looking for a larger ecofriendly confetti!

    Would freeze-dried rose petals work?  They are ecofriendly, large, and nonstaining.

    2d- in talking to my venue, they said they would prefer *anything* to freeze dried rose petals.  The manager's description was that he spends a week between weddings trying to get every last one picked up, because no one wants someone else's old dried rose petals at their ceremony!  I suppose if there was a marble floor or something, they'd be easy to sweep up... but outside in grass, not so good.  They certainly don't degrade in a week. 

    I had thought they'd be a great solution too :(
