Rose Petals for your wedding day – a guide to choosing yours…

Rose Petals – roses symbolise love and romance and therefore many people think of them as the quintessential wedding flower. We don’t grow roses commercially on the confetti farm here in Worcestershire. However, we do have lots that bloom in the Manor gardens in summer time. Both Wyke Manor and our Confetti Office are covered in beautiful climbing roses!

Rose petals are a huge part of our confetti petal collections. Certainly couples love the romance of roses. A traditional and romantic choice, the beautiful, natural, delicate and fluttery rose petals will biodegrade quickly and easily. Most importantly, they leave no mess behind after the confetti throw. In addition, their larger size adds a wonderful splash of colour to your confetti photographs!

Our Small Natural Rose Petals make wonderful throwing confetti.

Most importantly, these petals are light and fluttery: This means that they hang in the air nicely and maximise the confetti moment. And furthermore, as quite large pieces they will have great impact in your confetti photographs.

In addition, they are a great choice for scattering, decorating and creating paths and aisles. (Get some wedding aisle inspiration here!). Therefore, you can use the same petal across the whole of your wedding day.

Small Natural Rose Petals are freeze-dried to preserve their natural colour. They are 100% biodegradable. To clarify, they are real flower petals, totally natural and biodegradable and they will store for up to 4 months.

ROSE PETALS COLOURS

Confetti Colours:

You can combine colours in any way you like to create your own special wedding confetti blend. You can mix up to three colours on our website, and we’ll mix them in equal parts. However, if you’d like to mix more colours, or you’d like a specific ratio, please just give us a call. All our orders are mixed by hand, to your requirements, so we can do anything you like.

If you’d like to mix rose petals with delphinium or hydrangea petals then you can! The mixture creates different textures in the confetti. As a result, it can look wonderful! Please just give us a call to talk through your ideas – 01386 555045.

Rose Petal Confetti

How much do I need?

To make it easy for you to work out how much confetti you need we sell our petals by the handful. If you want loose petals in a basket or if you are filling confetti cones then buy as many 10 Handfuls Bags as you require. Alternatively, our Confetti Bags, Sachets and Confetti Envelopes contain one handful of petals. They offer you different ways to divide up the confetti and give it to your wedding guests.

Confetti Photo Tip –

Contrast your confetti to your background and as a result it will really stand out in your photographs!

(For example, cream and light pinks look great against a dark background like a brick wall)

Other Rose Petals – Limited Editions and Special Offers

Depending on the harvest, and what our supplier can offer, from time to time we have other rose petals available. Keep an eye on our Special Offers Page for lovely Large Natural Roses and vibrant Coloured Roses.

Large Natural Rose Petals are quite beautiful!

They have retained their natural curve, and, as a result, they look like they have just fallen from the stem. But because they are freeze-dried, they will last much longer than fresh flowers. Consequently, they are a perfect decorative petal. They will add romance, and eco-friendly decoration, throughout your whole wedding day. These roses are freeze-dried to preserve their natural colour and are 100% biodegradable.

Our Coloured Rose Petals are great for those who are looking for unusual colours and brighter, bolder colours.

Their colour is vivid and unform, because they have been colour enhanced. Therefore they will really “pop” in your photos! Furthermore, we have shades such as black, blue and green, that are not often found in the garden! They are 100% biodegradable and will store for up to 12 months. We usually sell them in single colours, but sometimes we have fabulous mixes on offer – keep an eye on our social media to hear about new Limited Edition blends.

To clarify – Coloured Rose Petals are real rose petals that have been preserved through a dying process. Therefore, they may leak colour if they are crushed, get wet or are exposed to high humidity.
