Rose Petals for toss

hi I was just wondering if anyone did this or is doing this.. where are you getting them from? Are you just getting them from florist? And how much do they cost? Thanks!

Im doing this.

I was shocked to learn that my florist (who are the first to tell me something costs mroe or 'can't' be done) is giving me my rose petals for free!!

If I had to buy them, I was going to buy them from www.freshroses.com and probably spring for the very expensive all one color petals.

my florist is my friends mom, but when I asked her if I should have only red rose petals, she emphatically said, no, that I will have assorted colors because I'll get whatever she has in the store from the roses that don't sell Fine with me!

wow - I wish mine were free! I'm paying $65 for a large bag which is what I'm told is just cost - she's charging me exactly what she gets charged by her distributor.

FYI: 1 gallon bag of fresh rose petals (mixed colors) from www.freshroses.com is $14. Specific colors are $45/bag.

I have to ask my florist about this, she is a sweetheart so I hope she throws them in for me.
If not, I may just get the assorted from freshroses.com.
Stef (or anyone who knows) will jus the one bag be enough for 200 guests?

Re: Rose Petals for toss

The site says that 1 bag is enough for min 25, max 50 guests.

Liz...Gigi gave them for free...but then again I only wanted them to be dropped before I walked down, you can ask her.

We threw rose petals. Our florist supplied them, and it didn't cost us anything. He threw them in.

You probably have already, but just a reminder to double check with your ceremony site- I just found out that my church doesnt allow dropping rose petals.

Re: Rose Petals for toss

my priest also said to be careful not to throw too many, he has seen people slip & fall on them because they are slippery

Re: Rose Petals for toss

We used petals and our florist supplied them for free. It makes for a great picture!

I went to the flower district the day before my wedding, and got a few bunches of flowers in different shades of ivory and yellow. My bridemaids took off the petals the night before.
