Festive shower fast being replaced by rice (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

confetti

(Other definitions for confetti that I've seen before include "Bits thrown at weddings" , "Bits thrown over newly-weds" , "Scraps of coloured paper thrown in celebration" , "Bits of paper scattered at festive occasions" , "Paper pieces festively thrown" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
