anyone putting petals on the aisle runner ahead of time?

i saw it done on a bridal show (Platinum Weddings, i think) ... they put petals down on the aisle runner before the ceremony even started ... it was soooo pretty.

an example:

i just spoke with Pedastals and was quoted $100 for that which i refuse to pay.

where can i buy rose petals for cheap?

Thanks

ive heard you have to check with your church for that

a lot of them arent allowing so many things anymore

id try michaels and do fake ones maybe- ppl are going to walk on them, they wont kno if there real or fake!

yup.. Even if they are fake they probably won't allow them.

i'd probably go with fake ones since the real ones are $130 for 6000 petals .... i have a feelign i don't need 6000 petals ... but what do i know lol!

anyone have an idea about how many petals i should have?

My florist isnt really charging me for the petals, or maybe he is and its factored into the cost. He is blocking off my aisle with a ribbon in the back so that people dont walk on it This way they will be able to display the customized runner as well as the petals. Should be really nice!
