Homemade Wedding Confetti

DIY Scented Dyed Rice is a Fun Bridesmaids Project

— April 18, 2014 — Lifestyle
Crafty or thrifty (or both) brides will love the DIY Scented Dyed Rice. A great home project to do along with some best girlfriends (a.k.a. bridesmaids), it is a confetti that takes the whole throwing rice tradition to the next level. Not only is the rice color-coded to match the theme of the wedding itself, it provides a waft of a pleasant fragrance for guests as they toss handfuls into the air.

All that is needed to create the DIY Scented Dyed Rice is a cup of rice (obviously), vinegar, food coloring or natural dyes, essential oil, ziplock bag, parchment paper and a sheet pan. The vinegar helps set the color while the essential oils mask the smell.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Wedding Decor - There is a trend towards brides creating their own wedding decor, such as scented dyed rice confetti, to add a personal touch to their special day.

3. Eco-friendly Wedding Trends - More brides are choosing eco-friendly options for their weddings, like using natural dyes and reusable items, to reduce their environmental impact.
Industry Implications
