Our freeze dried rose petals are made from REAL roses, perfectly preserved to look beautiful on your special day. We start with large South American roses (the same ones florists use), remove all the petals one by one, then process them in our freeze dryers which remove all of the moisture over the course of two weeks while they are frozen. Once they are preserved, we sort through the petals to find only the best ones to custom package your order. The result is stunning! Use them to border an aisle runner, fill them into cones for tossing, or simply decorate tables with them. If you are not sure how many you need, we have suggestions below or Convo us for help: Tossing: 1/2 to 1 cup of petals per guest Table decoration: 3 to 5 cups of petals per table with centerpiece for a light sprinkling Aisle: 15 cups per square foot for mounded, 10 for dense, 5 for moderate, 2 for light Flower girl: 5 to 10 cups of petals per flower girl This is a special blend of rose petal colors to create the feel of a beach theme.
