Wedding in Red – Perfect Marriage

Stacey-Anne Thomas Head Florist at Flowerworks, Gloucester comments: “As a designer for both fresh and artificial wedding flowers, I can see why silks are taking centre stage, especially over the winter months when some popular fresh flowers are not widely available. Although they do not have the same scents and delicateness of real flowers, silk flowers last forever, so the bride can have a lasting momentum of her day, plus they are much more sturdy than fresh flowers and will take more brutality, for example when being carried by a young child. At Flowerworks, we price our fresh and artificial flowers arrangements the same, although silk flowers are more expensive to buy than fresh, the costs of preparing and looking after fresh flowers makes up for this.”

The latest trends in wedding flowers are followed closely by Flowerworks, and they will always let you know what’s hot and what’s not:

Spring/Summer 08: Roses are going to be everywhere, especially in pinks and whites. Attention to detail is key, with diamantes and feathers.

Autumn/Winter 08: Plenty of dark red and white is around, giving a festive feel. Whilst the hand tied bouquet has been very popular until now, the cascading bouquet is taking over and providing a bold focal point.

Roses have always been perceived as a sign of elegance and for many people they represent the most beautiful flowers in the world. Fresh rose petals have become used on a wide scale for various events, especially weddings and given the increased demand, a true industry arose. Today, there are many companies providing rose petals online, enticing their clients with varied offers and eye-catching prices.

Why choose fresh rose petals for a wedding? Because roses have something truly unique and they can really beautify that special event. Rose petals can come in a wide variety of colors, including red, white, pink and even orange, dazzling with their scent and natural beauty at the same time. The Internet is indeed the number one source for fresh rose petals, producers trying to defeat the stringent competition with recently harvested rose petals and they are prepared to deliver them when you require.

If you are interested in fresh rose petals, then you should know that one of the most popular choices is represented by those that are lavender-scented.

As weddings are the most obvious event where rose petals are used, many people enjoy decorating the reception hall using petals that have a sweet lavender fragrance and a smooth touch.

The companies that distribute rose petals have started to provide their merchandise for customers from various parts of the world, providing amazing prices for their rose petals. The product information is clearly presented online, a package of 6000 fresh rose petals including a number of 13 bags. One can also purchase 12000 petals, which would mean of course 26 bags. The shipping process has been carefully thought of and this is probably one of the main reasons why the rose petals are packed in individual bags, each bag containing petals of one single color.

When one celebrates the union between two people, everything must go perfect and it’s no wonder that so many people want to have fresh rose petals in that very special day. They might decide to use them for decorative purposes but also to sprinkle them or even for intimate moments during their honeymoon.

They also teach you about storing your rose petals and keeping them fresh until you need them. It’s quite obvious they must be stored in a place with a low temperature and even in the fridge if you want to prolong their freshness. Still, don’t be too hasty and place them in the freezer.
