I believe the answer is:

confetti

(Other definitions for confetti that I've seen before include "Scraps of coloured paper thrown in celebration" , "It is thrown at happy 16s" , "Bits of paper scattered at festive occasions" , "Paper pieces thrown at wedding" , "Paper used at weddings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
