Superstar Dua Lipa showered with Shropshire petals after low-key London marriage
The business has been making the 100 per cent natural confetti since 2005
Superstar Dua Lipa was showered with Shropshire petals after her low-key marriage to Callum Turner.
The couple were married at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall on Sunday (May 31), with pictures of the union spreading across the internet throughout Monday.
But eagle-eyed staff at county business Shropshire Petals were thrilled to notice their own natural confetti had been part of the occasion.
As the pop star and her new film star husband made their way down the steps of the building, they were showered with the confetti - captured in the images seen across the world.
The confetti packets used for the occasion are provided by Shropshire Petals sister company LSF for Westminster Registration Service.
The mix is called Wonderland and includes a pastel pink, lilac, and cream biodegradable mix.
It is made up of a combination of Icing Sugar, Candy Floss, and Amethyst petals, which are delphiniums grown on the Shropshire Petals farm near Newport.
All of the petals are 100 per cent natural and biodegradable.
Alannah Evitts, marketing executive at Shropshire Petals, said there was a huge buzz from staff as they did their own detective work on the pictures to check their confetti had been part of a superstar occasion.

She said: “We were all very excited when we saw the photos. We had to do some super spying on them and worked out they had our petals.”
She added: “When we all got into the office this morning I think all of us had screen-shotted everything we had seen on social media and were checking if they were our petals.”
Alannah explained they had spied the tell-tale packets which hold the Shropshire-grown confetti and had spotted the petals straight away, saying: “Because we grow it all ourselves you can see the quality of the petals in the shots - it is easy to recognise.”
Shropshire Petals has been going since 2005 and Alannah said it was wonderful to see their petals being seen across the world - adding that the staff always enjoy seeing their confetti being part of people’s big day, whether they are a superstar or not.
She said: “It is gorgeous no matter whether it is a celebrity or not - we just really love seeing all the pictures from our customers.”
