Answers to Your Questions About Ordering Wholesale Flower Petals Online<\/h2>\n

How many petals do I need for my wedding? There is a wide variety of ways you can use flower petals for your wedding. Some of the most common uses for petals is making\u00a0 a trail down the aisle, filling a flower girl basket, or scattering petals across a table.
\nFreeze dried petals<\/a> are pretty amazing. These beauties have quite the reputation. One of our favorite things about them is they can last up to a year! They are wonderfully fragrant, they do not wilt, they do not crumble, and they’re gorgeous. Freeze dried petals are also not limited to just roses, but we have different blends of lilac<\/a>, peony<\/a>, and hydrangea<\/a> petals.<\/p>\n
