Remember these?
In the middle of cutting fabric from my purple leafy taffeta fabric... I realized I was cutting off and throwing away a LOT of these leaves... then I thought... WHY am I throwing them away? They kind of make for interesting table confetti, don't they?
I have about a ziploc bag full of these now. For the bride who doesn't need a lot of silk rose petals, this is a pretty good idea to save money and try to make use of ALL your materials.
And we don't need a lot of rose petals for our wedding. I definitely won't do any rose petals on the aisle floor of the ceremony venue (cuz who wants to clean ALL THAT up?!). So I just need some petals for a little extra added decor as table confetti for the escort card table and maybe the cake table, kinda like below:
Then add some diamond confetti and I think I'm set!
BUT rose petals do look a bit better (curled edges and whatnot). I still don't know if I want to use the taffeta leaves. I can always get cheap rose petals on eBay.
FYI, 500 silk rose petals on eBay from China go for $3.99, free shipping. And 1000 clear diamond confetti (10mm size) goes for $9.99 + free ship, also from China. It's not much cost to give me peace of mind to make sure I have enough rose petals for everything! It is a 300+ person wedding after all!
