How to choose
Which ribbon for which ceremony
The choice of ribbon depends on the event style and season.
For a classic wedding — white or ivory, satin or matt double satin: these are the most requested finishes and work with any confetti. For a contemporary wedding with a soft palette, organdy in light tiffany or peach adds lightness. For winter ceremonies (November-December weddings, autumn first communions), Double Velvet in ivory or bordeaux has a warmer and more impactful effect. For those seeking a sustainablechoice, the recycled PET ribbon in sage or petroleum green is the most coherent option with eco favour boxes.
For christening e first communion, the most practical widths are 15 mm or 25 mm ribbon: wide enough to make a neat bow on a small or medium organza pouch.
How to calculate ribbon quantity
The calculation depends on the type of closure. For a simple bow on an organza pouch, about 30–40 cm of ribbon is enough. For a double-bow closure or more elaborate decoration, allow 50–70 cm per favour box. With a 50 m roll (satin or taft) you can prepare between 70 and 100 favour boxes depending on the style chosen.
How to match ribbons and pouches to confetti
The most direct criterion is colour: choose ribbon and pouch in the shade closest to the confetti, or play on contrast — white pouch with sage green or bordeaux ribbon. If you combine decorative ribbons from multiple brands, you can expand the available colour palette.
FAQ
Are Piovaccari ribbons sold by the roll or by the metre?
They are sold by the full roll. Lengths vary by type: 7 m (double velvet), 10 m (organdy and some matt double satin widths), 20 m (recycled PET ribbon), 25 m (Christmas ribbons), 50 m (satin and taft). Choose the length based on the number of favour boxes you need to prepare.
What do you need to close a confetti pouch?
Besides ribbon, you can use metal ring in light gold Piovaccari (D 65 or 80 mm, box of 12 pcs): they are applied by pressure on the top of the pouch and provide a clean closure without a knot. Alternatively, jute string in natural or coloured tones gives a more rustic effect, suitable for country chic or Provençal themes.
What is the difference between organza pouch and matt satin pouch?
Organza is transparent: it lets you see the colour and shape of the confetti, it is the most economical and versatile choice. Matt satin is opaque, has a more refined finish and pairs with favour boxes where the container plays a more important aesthetic role — for example in weddings with a tone-on-tone palette.
Can glass confetti containers be used for christenings too?
Yes. The D 6.5 cm H 9 cm format is the most suitable for christenings and first communions, because it is compact and not oversized compared to the standard amount of confetti for these ceremonies. The D 8 cm H 11 cm format is larger and is designed mainly for weddings.
Does Piovaccari also offer Christmas products?
Yes. In the catalogue you will find Christmas ribbons (Buon Natale, Gold Merry Christmas), Chic Velvet runner in velvet for the festive table, Juta Bag sachets, rolls of wrapping paper and decorative sachets with pinecones. These are products complementary to ceremony packaging, also useful for corporate gift wrappings or for Christmas table arrangements.
