Freeze them. Put them in zip lock bags and freeze them. Take them out right before the wedding and thaw them. They’ll look fine for the wedding. I’m getting married the 21st too!!!!
Wedding Rose Petals

Fresh Flower Petals
Whether there is a special wedding happening soon, or you just want to create a special romantic atmosphere for you and your lover, fresh flower petals can help out just the same. Probably one of the most respected flowers when it comes to petals is the rose; mainly because the rose is so universal and is a symbol of elegance no matter where it is found. Flower petals from just about any flower can be bought depending on where you go; different sizes, shapes and colors can all be factors.
There are many different occasions in which flower petals would be an appropriate additive. Weddings and other special occasions are probably the most popular reasons why flower petals are used because they add a little more beauty to the event. Fresh flower petals can be used for anything but wedding probably top the list. Another occasion that is just about as perfect as it gets for flower petals is romantic ones. Flower petals can make a romantic, intimate night just a little bit more romantic, especially if they are red rose petals. A lot of people choose to make a small trail of rose petals leading up to the bed, which is littered with rose petals already.
Petals from all kinds of different flowers can be bought, but the rose is probably the most common as well as the most popular flower. The reason that the rose has become the most popular petal yielding flower is because of its diversity; the rose can be of many different shapes, sizes and colors to match just about any occasion. For those special wedding occasions, white rose petals would have a rightful place. For the romantic occasions, red rose petals would add a little bit more spice to the night. No matter what the occasion, there will be a color that will help enhance the aesthetic appeal of such event.
We know what fresh flower petals can be used for now, but where can we buy the freshest flower petals at? You can actually find flower petals pretty easy as a lot of locations have flower petals for sale. The best place to start your search would be at your local florists; for one they are local so they are close, and they are a florist so they will have an inventory of fresh flowers and fresh flowers means fresh petals. The second place to look is online as there is an abundance of online florists that sell all sorts of different flower petals for just about any occasion. The online stores are a little bit more convenient because you do not have to leave the house to buy them and you are usually offered a much wider variety of flower petals that can be delivered directly to your door.

is it ok to provide rose petals as confetti at the wedding?
i really dont want people to throw rice or those crappy paper confetti you get in boxes..i want to provide real dried rose petals in cones..also how do i word this in the invite along with the dress code/theme?
It’s perfectly fine. Just be sure your venue will allow you to throw anything. Some do not.
You do not have to put it on the invite, nor do you have to state the dress code/theme unless it’s black tie. Otherwise, expecting your guests to “dress” the way YOU want is out of line. If you want a theme wedding, that’s great, but don’t expect your guests to have to dress the part.
Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!
