In the past millennium, it has been ordinary to see roses and their depictions being one and the same as attractiveness and grace. This is evidenced in writings as far back as Shakespeare (and probably further), demonstrating that roses have long been known as attractive and elegant. Obviously, the modern economy and most of today's business world has caught up with this notion, and has appealed to the concept of roses being the essence of loveliness, and often, even brought about this conviction. While this is not completely improper, roses have obviously become exceedingly pricey in the past few years. Florists have come into the market, and on a few holidays especially conceived for the sole purpose of exchanging greeting cards and roses, florists are able to pull in at least $75 for a dozen or so roses. Roses, while not cheap, have become a necessity for formal events and nice occasions; weddings being the best example of such. So what is the answer? What is the cheapest way to get roses for a formal event? Rose petals just might be the answer.
Rose petals make a wedding or any other occasion pleasant. Rose petals supply a great alternative to merely throwing rice. A couple of rose petals here and there all through the service can really add a pleasant feel to the day. Rose petals are available in an enormous variety of colors, shapes and sizes; therefore you are almost sure to be able to find something that will go well with your needs. However, be aware that most rose petals will cause discoloration. In light of this, you may want to think about freeze-dried rose petals. Freeze-dried rose petals will appear the same to ordinary rose petals, and yet you won't need to be concerned with stains on any kind of floor or carpet.
How to find the right petals?
Freeze dried rose petals keep for a long time, so if you are setting up a wedding well in advance, you need not be worried that they will lose their gleam over time. In light of this, many people would rather order the freeze dried rose petals well in advance of the wedding, freeing up the planners to think about other more significant things when the actual ceremony comes around. Freeze-dried rose petals can be found in quite a few places, and includes most places that advertise any flowers or flower-related supplies. If being thrifty is a concern, think about purchasing rose petals through a wholesale distributor.
In all, rose petals can make a great addition to any wedding ceremony.
