Rose Petals to purchase

Hello all...I just got a quote from my florist for rose petals for just the ceremony and the sweetheart table and it's like $100.  Maybe I'm being cheap, but have any of you purchased your own from another florist of grocery store for the day of to cut cost?  I do want real ones, but don't need anything super fancy.  TIA

Wow that's a lot my florist threw them in for us.  You could get a bunch from costco and just take the petals off.

My cousin DIY real ones from the grocery store the day of and it was a PIA. It's up to you, if you have family members that won't mine helping the night before/day of - then do it. Also, you should know you can get petals yourself from a wholesaler online - I looked into fiftyflowers.com and they give you like 6000 petals or something for 120.

Def not looking to DIY, just looking to purchase the petals (without having to take them off the stems).

I purchased fresh rose petals from Metropolitan Plant Exchange.  They filled half a large shopping bag and the cost was about $75.  They were used for the aisle, cake table, sweetheart table.

idk - it doesnt seem that bad - even if you get a dozen roses for $10 - thats only 120 roses for $100...if she is doing the ceremony and sweetheart table, than im sure its more than that...but try the place jaime found online and if that works out then go for it...
