Re: Rose Petals for toss

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.

Re: Rose Petals for toss

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.

Re: Rose Petals for toss

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

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

Re: Rose Petals for toss

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

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

Re: Rose Petals for toss

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.
