Question 1: Where's the best place to get the best deal for these flower petals? I know about Flyboy Naturals but I am not sure about the cups vs number of petals.

Question 2: It was mentioned here before that you should only throw real rose petals because the dried rose petals and silk rose petals don't have enough weight. Can anyone share their experience?

Thanks! xo

How far off is the wedding? I've been going to the local grocery stores and asking them if I can have the roses they are throwing out and drying my own. Not a good idea if you are lacking space by the way! But it's working pretty good so far! Hope this helps!

I bought my dried rose petals from Petal Garden. They have a calculator to show how many cups of petals to order. I have the links in my bio:

I had not heard that dried petals don't throw well.I'll need to try it when I get home w/the samples I ordered. Petal Garden says you can "steam" the petals while taking a hot shower to add moisture back. That should make them heavier.

I just got some white silk rose petals from here

It's cheaper than the petal garden.
