Of the many wonderful folklore tales that abound in the mystical British Isles the most charming and romantic must surely be that of the 'Hawthorn Fairies Blessing'.
On the eve of a spring wedding the bride's family made a garland of Hawthorn blossom to leave outside the house. During the night the Hawthorn Fairies were believed to descend upon the garland picking petals to shower upon the bride at the end of the ceremony thereby bringing their blessing of love, happiness and fertility. It is from this simple folklore story that today's paper wedding confetti was conceived.
