Punch Drunk

The standard confetti toss is so passé. Eco-friendly couples are now opting for biodegradable birch bark harvested from fallen trees and hand-punched into tiny hearts, stars, birds and, our personal favourites, maple and oak leaves. Stephanie Halin of Not Mother jokingly calls her labour-intensive confetti (which can be found at Maker House and High Jinx), “my very own $15-an-hour minimum-wage job.” An increasing number of discerning eco-conscious socialites are also using the confetti to decorate their tables at dinner parties.
