Where to find cheap rose petals?

marciamagah

Does anyone know where I can find cheap silk rose petals? I need hot pink/fuchsia or apple green. Michael's sells them for $9.99 (240). And does anyone know how many I would need for the isle (short isle) and for the guests to throw?  TIA

I was gonna say Michaels. Oriental trading has a apple green color but no fusia. They are $5.50 for 300

I mean 200

thanks!  How many do I need? I have no idea!

Im not sure. Maybe 2 for the isle just in case. How many guests? Do you know what you will put them in for your guests to take?

I was going to suggest OTC, too.

I'll probably make little cones to hold them. I'll have 12 guests throwing them.

Maybe say 2 handfuls per guest. Which could be about 10 petals?? I could be way off!

Not sure how many you would need. But if you found them at Michaels, just get them with the 40% off coupon. It may take a few trips, or just see if someone can go with you each time. It'll cost about the same as OTC, you'll save on shipping, and know you have the right colors!
