Silk rose petals can be used throughout your wedding. Often cheaper than freeze dried petals, and with no chance of bleeding onto wedding attire or fingers like real petals, they make a great option for accenting wedding accessories. And unlike real petals, you do not have to worry about them wilting or turning different wedding dresses color before you walk down the aisle.
Silk Rose Petals
Typically, petals are strewn about the aisle before the bride walks down. This can be done by the flower girl as part of the processional, or by an usher before the ceremony begins. Flower petals are often used as table decorations, encircling reception centerpieces. Incorporate the petals into other areas of your wedding, such as:
* The wedding Invitations: Place several petals inside your invitations, creating a cascade when the guests open them.
* The wedding Ceremony Exit: Have baskets of petals near the front of your ceremony location. When you exit for the reception, guests can toss them over you in lieu of birdseed or rice. Be sure to have someone designated to pick up petals after you have gone.
* The Reception Centerpieces: Add petals not only on the table around the centerpiece, but to the piece itself. For example, let petals float in a bowl of water alongside rose-shaped floating candles.
* The Cake and Table: Scatter petals around the cake table and even drop them over the top of the cake for a simple but elegant decoration.
* The Favors: Use silk rose petals to decorate wedding favor boxes.
Make the most of your wedding budget and use rose petal accents throughout your wedding. Silk petals can be used again and again for other events such as the bridal shower or rehearsal dinner, a post-wedding brunch, or for Valentine’s Day decorations, or even sold after the celebration has ended.
