highlight certain 'bits'

I have a colour wedding photograph that I want to make black and white, but leave the confetti in colour. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

It wouldn't be hard but it would be time consuming. How much is there? Even better, post the pic

It is time consuming. But the easiest way is to

1. Duplicate the background layer.
2. Go to the original background layer
3. Select Image > Adjustments > Desaturate
4. Go to the duplicated layer, and using the eraser, erase the "colour".

Hope this help.
