Freeze-dried Petals?

[DWandMJ]

I was just informed that we will not be permitted to use silk petals due to our resorts environmental policy. In lieu of spending $40 per bag for fresh petals from the resort, I am trying to find the best source for freeze dried hydrangeas. Any suggestions?

Here are some green ones. How many and what color do you need?

 

Freeze Dried Hydrangea Petals PREMIUM BLEND (natural) Hydrangea Petals Green, Blue, Red - 5 cups $19.50

Thank you:)

I was planning on doing about 60 cups for scattered coverage on the aisle and another 10 for tossing, but its looking a bit steep for my budget.

I looked into the petalgarden.com

 

Towards the end of their pages they have 49.95 (maybe less) for some that are for aisle (not perfect). They are 60 cups I believe...then they have the organza bags and premium ones for tables and such!

 

Hope that helps!

 

You can order samples too...to test your premium colors!

No, no! I am sorry it was flyboynaturals.com that had the flowers you are looking for! For some reason my brain went immediately to rose petals!

Great Question! I am having a tough time with this as I am using freeze dried green and blue hydrangeas and am having a tough time finding them except for the Save-on-Craft site.

I will definately check them out. Based on the added expense, I thinking that I would be willing to make some concessions and go with rose petals in an ivory/white/green mix. I found one website that carries both green and blue freeze dried roses for $16.95/8 cups ($99 for 64 cups), although I'm not sure if I'm sold on the green. I will definately order a sample to see what it looks like in person. Thanks for the suggestion!

Will you be able to bring freeze dried into MX? I thought they were pretty strict about bring real flowers in...

[DWandMJ]

Freeze dried petals are real flowers. I've dropped a line to our wedding coordinator, I'm just waiting on a response to make sure that it is ok prior to placing the order. Hopefully she responds quickly so I can take advantage of the sale!

I was wondering how much rose petals were. But I think I like the hydrangeas better.

 

Thanks for the info.
