How many petals do I need?

Question

I am having a small wedding that we can afford. My question is how many rose petals do I need for the whole wedding? I know there will be petals on the head table all down the middle of three 6ft tables, around the centerpieces on the 10 90" round guest tables, around the cake on the cake table, and for the flower girl. The petals I like at Michaels come in one box of 300 pieces. How many boxes do I need for everything and for it to look full and nice?

Answer 1

Hi and congratulations!

I like to always be on the safe side.  I would buy at least 3....possibly even 4 boxes!  Usually Michael's has a 40% off coupon.  Ask for one at the cashier's counter.  (I used to work there at Christmas time.)  You can only use it for 1 item (non-sale item), so see if it's cheaper to buy them on sale....or to buy them with the 40% off coupon 1 box at a time.  

Keep your receipt!  If you don't use the 4th box....then just bring it back.

Answer 2

I would get at LEAST 3 boxes. And that would be plenty.

Congrats!

You can order them online cheaper.... http://www.wpetals.com/detail.aspx?ID=4
