Freeze Dried Rose Petals
Q How much should I order for decorating my tables?
A We advise that one 2litre box of petals is enough for between 4 and 5 tables as it depends on how thickly they are sprinkled on each of table.
Q Will the freeze dried rose petals stain the floor or fabric?
A Freeze dried petals are completely bio degradable and natural; they have no substances added to them at all. You can be sure they will not stain the dresses or the linen.
Q Could I colour-match my fabric with the petals?
A Any opportunity to help in any way we can to get the colours right is welcome. If you send us swatch of colour we will try to match it and send selection of petals for you to choose.
Q Will you send some samples for me to see before I order?
A We will gladly send samples of petals free of charge and simply ask you to pay for the postal charge of £3.00. This allows us to send the petals in postal tube so that they are not damaged in transit.
Q How soon should I order petals for my tables?
A Petals can be ordered at any time in advance of your wedding date- some people have ordered year ahead- we usually send out the order about one month before the date. This ensures that the petals are as fresh as possible and stay in good condition for you. We can send them at any time if you prefer.
Q Will I get a discount for larger quantities?
A Call us if your order is for more than 10 boxes of petals so that we can discuss a discount with you. Click for Contact or check the Special Offers page.
Confetti For Throwing
Q Are the Budget Confetti Petals good enough for decorating the tables?
A Budget Confetti petals for throwing are mixture of colours of freeze-dried rose petals. The colour mix depends upon the roses we are working on at any one time. They are slightly discoloured or torn but perfect for throwing. This is why they are second grade and greatly reduced in price.
Q Is it possible to have only one colour for throwing petals?
A It is possible to have one colour petals for throwing but they will be the Premium Grade Petals.
Q Are these Throwing Petals right for placing in the Church Aisle or Venue?
A They are perfect as they will be walked on. However they will be in mixed colours. If you want single colour then look at our premium grade petals.
Q How much will I need for a Church or Venue Aisle?
A For amazing colourful thickish covering you will need one box of 2 litre petals per square metre. You can therefore work out your quantities depending upon the length of the aisle or walkway and how thick you want the petals to look.
Q How much will I need for a Petal Pathway?
A If you use the same yardstick as for the Church Aisle it should be about right.
Cones
Q How many cones will I need to go with the petals.?
A The ivory parchment cones are the size of Ice Cream Cornettos and we suggest 20 cones per 2 litre box of petals.
Q What are the DIY Cones like?
A They are pre-cut to size (larger than the ivory parchment ones) for you to roll and stick yourself. The paper is beautiful hand made embossed thick paper and all you need is double sided sticky tape.
Pressed Flowers
Q Are pressed flowers available all the year round?
A Some of the flowers are seasonal, but if you order in advance (30 days is ideal) we can advise you if any of them are out of season or out of stock temporarily.
Q What size are the pressed flowers?
A Some of them are 2cms but the majority of them are 4cms.
Swarovski Crystals
Q May I return Crystals?
A We order the crystals especially for you so they may not be returned to us. They are made especially for you in the factory in Austria. We can send you samples of the clear crystals in advance for approval so that you feel more certain of the sizes and so on. Coloured crystals have to be taken on trust unless we happen to have your preferred colour in stock.
