To save time, money, and energy while still making a statement, why not opt for dainty rose petals instead?
Rose petals are versatile, come in a wide variety of colours, and require zero knowledge of flower arranging to work with. With roses signifying love, passion and beauty, there’s no question they will be the perfect wedding accessory. Wondering how to incorporate them for your ceremony? Read on to pick up some inspiration on what you can do with rose petals to beautify the occasion!
Scattered along the aisle
Ombre refers to a design that appears like a colour fading from a darker shade to a lighter one. This can be created easily by utilising varying shades of petals that gradually lighten. The effect can run down the length of the aisle, to lead eyes toward the altar, or fade from the edges toward the centre, drawing attention to the middle of the aisle where you will be walking down. Doing so is also an effective way to define your aisle while providing your ceremony with an airy, romantic feel.
Used in your wedding invites
For a unique way to include roses in your event apart from the traditional rose bouquet, place some petals in your invites and give your guests an added surprise when they open them up! This provides the best opportunity to set the colour tone of your wedding, introducing guests to a romantic, floral-filled occasion.
Table decor
Apart from bridal bouquets, consider using rose petals for table decor as one of the ways to feature roses in your wedding. Make your tablescape stand out by scattering rose petals around each place setting or down the centre of the table to create a natural table runner. Include them also on the cocktail, reception, or side tables. A floating centrepiece is another alternative where candles and rose petals float in a bowl or tall vases, providing an instant crowd-pleaser.
