Ok, so I was not going to do petal cones, but I'm thinking I really dont have another way to distribute the rose petals to my guests. I'm getting married outside at the RH hall and would like for them to throw them after we've been introduced as husband & wife.
I've seen people do the doilies, which look really easy but I've only seen them in white & gold. White is no good b/c everything is ivory & gold w/ choc. accent. and the gold is, well, TOO gold-almost looks tacky.
What else can I use???

Re: alternative to petal cones?
I'm doing the petal cones myself (it's easier than it looks).
But I was thinking how about those little see-through cloth bage. No idea what they are called but I'll look for a pic. You can make them a favor too if you put a label on them or something....Just a thought.
The organza bags that Eva-and-John posted was going to be my suggestion. My friend did that for her wedding.
The other alternative is to have a big basket full of the petals and just ask people to grab a handful on the way out and they can just throw them. This works well too.

I'm actually doing clear plastic candy bags and putting a label on them to close. HTH
Go for the organza bags if you don't want the petal cones.

What we did (because we had no time for petal cones) was put all the petals in two baskets, then assigned two of my cousins the task of distributing the petals as everyone walked out of the church after the wedding. It worked out perfectly; everyone had a handful of petals, and our pictures with everyone throwing them came out beautifully!

Thanks ladies- I'll look into the organza bags. I also just saw online glassine envelopes. I can't do the big basket thing b/c they would have to be holding the petals for the entire ceremony.
