Hi,

May I ask why you are chosing dried rose petals? We often use rose petals as table decorations in our restaurant, but we always use fresh. In my opinion they look better, and I like to use multi coloured ones. Our florist usually gives us some roses on a saturday afternoon (ones that wont keep until monday) so it's no great expence. They will keep (the petals) fresh in a plastic bag, sprayed with a little mineral water for a good day or so.

Totally agree with Red Poppies, I have dried ones at home form my wedding and they crumble everywhere andmake a massive mess. Fresh ones look much nicer and may even smell nice too, depending on what sort you get.
Hope it all goes well for you x
