    So I was never a big fan of flowers for my wedding, infact it was something I didn't care too much about and only gave myself a very minisule buget for. Now after planning and seeing so many beautiful photots of everyones flowers, they have become a huge party of my big day!

    Not only have I doubled my budget for flowers, I am nearing tripleing it! (it doesnt help when you have a nearly $300 bouquet)

    Now I am really interested in having loose cream rose petals at my ceremony lining the aisles. I think it is so beautiful! I have been searching the net to find a large quanitity of rose petals for a cheaper price. (keeping in mind I am in Canada so if they're shipping from the states I usually have to pay a large shipping fee/customs fee)

    I would like to hear from the brides who have/or will have loose rose petals on their wedding day? where did you get yours from? etc etc etc.

    I found this site and am very interested in getting the 12,000 petals http://www.fiftyflowers.com/product/Creamy-White-Rose-Petals_18.htm

    I also dont know how I should go about when to get them delivered, or how close I should have them before the wedding day. any advice?

    Thanks a million!

    I'm thinking of doing this too.  I was thinking of using freeze dried rose petals so that I don't have to worry about storing them properly before the wedding.

    They sell them here:

    daisybride - I saw that site, and they were alot more expensive than the webiste I posted abouve, and they also said the ivory petals, which is the closest color to having cream petals was 'unabailable' Thanks thought! you will have such a beautiful day!
