Do you mean just for decorating the aisle? If so I think a big bag would be enough. Ask you florist Im sure they would know.

I know but I would play it off like you are just to get info. You know inquire about it and then get it yourself.

I read somewhere that for each square foot of aisle, you need 8 cups for it to be densely packed, 4 cups for something in the middle, and 2 cups for a light sprinkling. (Note this is cups per square foot you intend to cover)

If you're having flower girls, they said 6-8 cups per flower girl.

I read the same thing. Check out this link.

Also, there's a website 50flowers.com that offers 6,000 petals for $139 and 12,000 petals for $200; up to 3 colors. The bride who told me about it got the 12,000 and used them for the aisle, the petal toss and the RH tables.

What quantity are you considering.
