Fresh rose petals are the most beautiful things to see.
Roses are a favorite of most people and signify many things to each different person. The meanings of roses are endless.
In addition to the pure physical beauty of roses, the smell of fresh roses brings back so many
wonderful memories for most. To cherish this delightful and appealing flower, why not choose a special fresh
rose petal walkway at your wedding.
Rose Petal Walkway
Set the stage for a stylish wedding by creating a dramatic rose petal walkway that greets your guests as they arrive and then provides a lush bridal walkway for your grand entrance.
Preparation
Decide on a style for your walkway or aisle. Densely covered, lightly scattered, or edged where petals are placed only along the sides of the aisle to allow your flower girl to fill in the center with additional petals as she walks ahead of you.
Read our Rose Petal FAQs to decide if fresh or freeze dried will work best for you. Consider combining your petals with Bougainvillea Petals or Lavender Buds for added interest, color and texture.
Measure the space that you wish to cover and then order enough petals to achieve your desired look. One package will densely cover a 3' x 5' area. If you're going for a lightly scattered look, one package will cover a 3' x10' area.
Arrange for your ushers or other trusted friends and family members to set up your walkway. Meet with them at the rehearsal so they are sure to understand the exact look you want to achieve.
Instructions
Your helpers should start scattering the petals on the walkway or aisle 30 minutes before guests are due to arrive.
As guests step over petals or the outdoor breeze picks up, one helper should remain there to fill in the area with more rose petals for subsequent guests and then for the bridal party as they enter.
Success Tips
If you are using Freeze Dried Rose Petals open your petal package(s) the day before the wedding so they'll soften in the open air.
If your wedding is outdoors, have your helpers cover the finished walkway with large plastic tablecloths to keep the petals from blowing away; then have your helpers remove the tablecloths moments before guests and wedding party arrive for the ceremony.
This rose petal walkway should make your special day truly stunning. You may want to even try some other rose
petal ideas such as the flower girl petal toss or decorating with rose petals. In any case, whatever you choose, you will know
that rose petals will make an elegant addition to any wedding spectacular ~!
