ASK THE WEEKLY

Q: Although it’s outdoors, my daughter’s wedding venue has specified no rice or paper confetti. Is there something else we can use? E. Christian, Qld. A: If you don’t want to use rose petals, why not gather a selection of colourful dried leaves (eucalypts are ideal) and use decorative punches – hearts or dots – to make eco-friendly confetti? Get the kids helping and you’ll have a batch in no time.
