 Rose petals have been an integral part of weddings since time immemorial. From being traditionally scattered on wedding ceremony aisle runners and reception tables, to untraditional applications in wedding centerpieces, in jewelry and bridal hair decorations, rose petals are offered in several different ways, including bulk fresh rose petals, wholesale silk rose petals and bulk freeze dried rose petals. When shopping for rose petals, you must choose between fresh, freeze dried and silk rose petals. Koyal Wholesale (www.koyalwholesale.com) offers the web’s largest selection of silk rose petals and freeze dried rose petals for weddings. Rose petals are also known as Wedding Petals, Floral Petals, Petal Confetti, Eco-Friendly Freeze Dried Rose Petals, and Flower Petals dried fresh.
Wholesale silk rose petals are offered in close to 100 colors, which makes it easy to match any wedding color scheme. However, for a more natural look, Koyal Wholesale offers freeze dried rose petals in over 100 colors, from white to dark eggplant, and every color custom colored freeze dried rose petal in between. Freeze dried wedding petals are a perfect option for eco-friendly or nature inspired weddings. They are a natural, biodegradable product, and the petals offered by Koyal Wholesale are prepared in an ec-friendly way. Freeze dried bridal petals are a good alternative to fresh rose wedding petals, which can degenerate quickly, may be slippery and may stain ceremony aisle runners. Preserved at their peak color and freshness, freeze dry rose petals retain gorgeous, bold color and texture. They also do not stain like fresh rose petals, and can be used on carpet, pavers, flooring, linens and more. In fact, freeze dried rose petals by Koyal Wholesale are the only real rose petals allowed at certain museums, historical venues and more.
Freeze dried rose petals are safe for outdoor use, and are not harmful for the environment. Our petals are all natural, non-staining, not slippery and bio-degradable. Contrary to common belief, freeze dried rose petal confetti is easy to take care of. By storing the petals in a cool, dry, dark place, the petals can last for many months or more. The petals do not need to be refrigerated or stored in a freeze. The petals arrive at room temperature, and therefore, storing them at room temperature (between 65 and 80 degrees F) works just great. The freeze dried wedding rose petals look almost the same as fresh petals, and do not do not look crinkled. The freeze drying process allows the petals hold their shape, size and color, and surprisingly their fragrance! If the rose petals have fragrance to begin with, our freeze dried rose petals retain their beautiful fragrance!
If you decide to buy freeze dried rose petals for your wedding, you are well advised to order your bulk freeze dried rose petals several weeks to several months in advance. They will stay fresh, and more importantly, you will have the exact color you need — our freeze dried rose petals are so popular, some colors do sell out! And because they are all natural, we cannot bring them in again until they are back in season! So buy freeze dried rose petals early to obtain the perfect color for your special event.
Wonder how to freeze dry rose petals? This delicate, refined process takes much skill. Wholesale freeze dried rose petals offered by Koyal Wholesale are grown right here in the USA. In general, after the roses open naturally and release their petals, the petals are pulled off and the very best ones are cooled and put into the freeze drier. The rose petals spend approximately 2 weeks in the freeze drier and are first frozen to about -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a vacuum process, the petals pass through a process called sublimation, allowing the petal to retain its shape and color without decomposing. The rose petals are gradually progressed to room temperature over several more days, and voila! your wedding freeze dried rose petals are born.
So now you’re ready to use rose petals at your wedding, and you’re wondering — how many rose petals do you need for your wedding ceremony aisle runner? Koyal Wholesale’s guide below will help you determine how many rose petals you should scatter on your aisle runner to achieve the exact look you desire.

How many cups of petals should you use on your wedding aisle runner? 
 Whether your wedding is an outdoor, rustic, laid-back sort of occasion, or a formal, elegant, grand-ballroom style event, you’ll want it to be absolutely perfect – right down to the last detail.
Many brides take pleasure in planning out all the decorative aspects of their weddings themselves, and there’s no denying that this leads to a much more personalized, and tailor-made event. Fancy planners are wonderful, but there’s a certain pleasure to be had in creating things yourself, or with the help of family, friends, and your fiancé, of course!
One of the easiest things you can create yourself for the big day is the centerpieces. There are so many fantastic products you can choose from, and with a little imagination and hard work, you can end up with beautiful, unique centerpieces that are all your own work – and that’s something to be proud of!
If your wedding is a traditional affair, with a classic ivory colour scheme, why not introduce some sparkle into the event with crystal themed centerpieces? A crystal chandelier centerpiece would make a stunning addition to your table décor, or you could keep things simpler with groups of crystal cascade candleholders to add some ambient lighting. Or how about this for a unique glamorous-but-natural look – a graceful Manzanita branch draped with crystal teardrop deco rope, similar to the centerpiece shown below. If you’d like to change things up a bit, opt for a California driftwood branch instead, for a real outdoorsy feel, or a more contemporary grapewood branch.

Even though most couples opt for floral wedding centerpieces, it’s always great fun to try and think outside the box and come up with some really pretty arrangements that don’t depend heavily on flowers. Lanterns are a great idea – they’re beautiful, they add lots of atmosphere, and they can be used throughout your décor as well as on the tables.
If you’re working on a bright colour scheme for your wedding, why not incorporate a hint of Moroccan mystery into the theme? Shades like red, orange, pink, purple and aqua all lend themselves to a Moroccan theme, and it’s easy to create beautiful Moroccan-style centerpieces using latticed metal tabletop lanterns. Alternate with votive candleholders in bright colors, and you have the perfect table decoration – and some beautifully evocative lighting to boot!
Lanterns also look gorgeous strung along the roof of a tent, or between the trees if your event is mostly outdoor. You can even carry on the Moroccan theme with etched glass goblets, rich woven table runners, and low cushioned seating with vibrant silk cushions. Pure, flamboyant beauty!

Outdoor weddings, whichever season they are in, always look great with nature-inspired decorations. How about giving your wedding a winery theme? Even if you’re not holding it in an actual vineyard, you can still use the symbols of grapes and wine, and the ideas of growing and harvest, as the themes for your event.
The colour palette for this kind of event is simply beautiful – fresh green, the pale purple of the grapes, and the deep red of wine, all set against a backdrop of ivory. You can create stunningly simple centerpieces for your winery themed wedding using an elegant grapevine votive stand or simple grapevine pillar candle stands. Bottles of wine make clever table signs, and corks can serve as place card holders. You can even set miniature wine bottles at each place setting that double as wedding favors. Your vineyard themed wedding is sure to go down a treat!

 “Sister, Sister” star Tamera Mowry will wed fiance Fox News anchor Adam Housley in a May 15th ceremony. The bride, who insists she is focusing on building a lasting marriage rather than spending a fortune on the wedding, will walk down the aisle in a Carolina Herrera dress. Mowry’s now-pregnant twin sister, Tia Mowry, who married Cory Hardrict in 2008 tells People.com that she is “picking out flowers and helping making sure the place is how she wants it and that kind of stuff.” If the wedding takes place in Napa, where Housley’s family owns a vineyard and the couple spent much time, guests can enjoy chrome Grape Design Wine Stopper favors, and the tablescape can be adorned with Grapevine Votive Stands. Tia will be the maid of honor, and brother Taj will be a groomsmen at the large 400-guest wedding. Tamera, who got engaged to Housley last August in Italy, has taken a break from work to plan the grand affair.
 “Dancing with the Stars” performer Karina Smirnoff is planning to wear a “big fairy tale dress” with a long train in her tropical Caribbean wedding with fiance Brad Penny. Smirnoff, a Ukranian American professional ballroom dancer, and Penny, starting pitcher for the SF Giants, became engaged in October 2010. The soon to be bride fell in love with the Caribbean, and quickly decided it would be the location of her nuptuals. While Smirnoff has a large family and had planned for a grand wedding, the couple is now expected about 75 to 100 guests at their destination Caribbean wedding. As she tells People magazine, ““I think it’ll be smaller because it is destination and not everyone will be able to fly out.” For those who are able to make the trip, the couple can pack out of town bags with personalized sunscreen featuring the names of the bride and groom, along with personalized luggage tags. Smirnoff previously dated actor Mario Lopez.
 Eloping on March 25, 2010, PR maven Marysol Patton, star of “The Real Housewives of Miami” planned her winter wonderland Aspen wedding to French-born Philippe Pautesta-Herder in just five days! For their intimate family and friends affair in snowy Aspen, the couple could have used white sparkle birch branches to create a winter wonderland reception ambiance, and guests could have been treated to personalized Snowflake Acrylic Favor Boxes. Philippe had asked Patton’s father for her hand in marriage, and popped the question to Miami native Patton in a restaurant during a filming of an episode of the hit Bravo reality show. Patton had previously been arrested on January 10, 2010 for a DUI.
 According to US Magazine.com, on March 26, 2011, Reese Witherspoon plans to marry CAA agent Jim Toth at her Ojai, California ranch. The vows will be exchanged in a field behind the superstar actress’ ranch house. Yifat Oren, the celebrity event planner who has coordinated weddings for Kevin Costner and Mariska Hargitay will orchestrate the event, which is rumored to be guided by a pastel color scheme, and will be heavy on candle decor. Witherspoon will wear a Monique Lhuillier wedding dress, which will go beautifully with the rare four-carat Ashoka diamond engagement ring, valued at $250,000, presented by Toth over the holidays. Witherspoon’s first wedding to Ryan Phillippe took place at the Old Wide Awake Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina on June 5, 1999, and the actress later dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal. For their nature inspired grand ceremony, the couple can present guests with elegant birds nest favors, and can use beautiful Vine White candle lanterns to achieve the rustic, romantic ambiance.
 Austin Power superstar Mike Myers was married in a secret wedding five months ago, his rep confirms. Canadian born actor Myers is best known for starring as the title characters in the films Wayne’s World, Austin Powers, the Shrek film series, and The Love Guru. Myers married longtime girlfriend Kelly Tisdale in a private New York ceremony. The couple has been together since 2006. Tisdale previously dated musician Moby while Myers was formerly married to Robin Ruzan. The “Formal Affair” ivory contemporary wedding collection would have fit perfectly into the couple’s stylish, modern New York wedding. Modern guest favors could have included the Silver Modern Strip gift favor boxes, or the Love Bird Damask favor boxes, filled with imported chocolates.
 Every special event should include a playful, sweet side, a chance for guests to truly absorb the fun and joy of the celebration. Your presentation of desserts and sweet favors is just the place to introduce a playful element, such as wedding cotton candy. Cotton candy will be one of the most popular sweet wedding treats of 2011. Cotton candy, also known as fairy floss or candyfloss, is a form of spun sugar that melts instantly in the mouth. It is a surefire way to transport your guests back to their childhoods, and an affordably elegant way to make your wedding reception guests smile!
As David Tutera comments, colored cotton candy can be served in martini glasses. Elevate your cotton candy wedding treats by serving them in designer cupcake wrappers. “The presentation of sweets is a whimsical way to keep your guests excited, along with satisfying their taste buds.”
One particular couple incorporated cotton candy as wedding favors for their guests with tags that read “Jared and Becca shared pink cotton candy on their first date, may their life together be just as sweet”. The couple arranged the cotton candy bunches in such a way so that each couple could share the carnival treat just as the bride and groom had on our first date. And the wedding favors did double duty: the back of the tags were the escort cards directing guests to their seats.
As couples feverishly plan every detail of their weddings and special events this season, one area that will receive much attention will be the dessert table. Including wedding cotton candy in your candy buffet or dessert bar is one special event element your guests are sure to remember forever!
The summer of 2011 will see more couples tying the knot than in any other season. Summer’s long days, golden sunshine and mild temperatures make it the perfect time to plan a wedding, and for every bride, there must be a bridal shower!
If you’re planning a summer bridal shower, it’s a great idea to hold the event outdoors to take advantage of the sunshine. There’s something so decadent yet laid-back about an afternoon in the garden, just the girls, with plenty of champagne, gossip and giggles!
A great theme for your outdoor summer bridal shower is ‘vintage English tea party’. You can set a picnic table up on the grass with a pretty pink and blue tablecloth and some old-fashioned tea dishes. Serve cucumber sandwiches – it’s an English tradition! – along with scones, cupcakes and macaroons in pretty pastel colors. You can decorate with lots of pink and blue blooms, hand-tied for that homegrown effect, or arranged in glass jam jars or vintage tea tins. Finally, treat your guests to a little teacup tealight favor, so they’ll always have a memory of your tea party bridal shower!

The garden in summertime is simply awash with color, what will all the fruit and flowers in bloom. This next bridal shower theme draws its colors from a simple palette that combines the acid brightness of daffodils with the subtle red of country apples. It’s a fresh, vibrant and utterly irresistible combo! A basket of apples makes a delightfully simple centerpiece, and you can display apple-themed favors at each place setting too. Bring out the yellow of the daffodils by laying out yellow napkins, plates and chair covers, and serve miniature cupcakes with lemon yellow icing – ultra sweet, and simply too pretty for words!

If you’re not keen on the whole outdoorsy, picnic-style event, but fancy something with a little more style and ooh-la-la, why not hold a bridal shower with a ‘Parisian chic’ theme? The colors for this theme are ever-stylish black and white, with pink accents, and plenty of bling – think jeweled shoes, dresses and even cake. You can bring the outdoors in with some pretty pink floral decorations, but keep the look chic and the décor ultra sophisticated. As the bridal shower is usually a girly event, work with feminine symbols like purses, high heels and perfume bottles for the place card holders, invitations and favors. It’ll be the most glamorous bridal shower ever!

Wedding cupcake displays are more prolific than ever, and they’ve become more elaborate and upscale than years past.

Extra large stands, such as the bulk Annabel 5-tier cupcake stand can fit as many as 300 cupcakes, including a mini-cake topper on the first tier.

For damask themed events, opt for black cupcake boxes. Alternatively, tiffany blue cupcake boxes are available to match your Tiffany themed bridal shower or special event.

These clear plastic sealable bags also feature a clear cupcake holder insert to stabilize your precious mini cake.
