Reply To: Confetti at Weddings 🎊🤵

I have been at many chassanahs where they do throw “confetti” on the chosson at the badeken. I was told that the original version was to throw wheat kernels as a symbol of fertility. Later that got mixed with confetti and possibly due to issues with chometz (famous story with R’ Shmuel Salant and the wheat in the soup on Pesach) many people do not use the wheat anymore and just throw the confetti. I see this less and less these days. it does make a mess on everybody.
