Rose petals

[BlovesC]

This is great information, thanks! I'd love to line the aisle runner with some silk petals in our colors to really make the WP more our own. Now I just have to think of who in the world I can trust to put them down for me when it comes time!

Bree has said it is okay to use the freeze dried petal. No silk b/c of threats to wildlife if they blow in the water. I am going to order some from save-on-crafts.com and see how they do!

I was told by the previous planner, Cathy, that deck 7 is really breezy and that it makes it pretty much worthless for the petals. I told her that I was going to try anyway. She also said DCL did away with the swagging between the bows b/c the wind would blow it and get it all tangled up.

So lets hope for a light breeze on our wedding days!

Thats great, thank you! I will have to see if there is a problem with bringing them into the US from the UK. If so then I will try to get some in Orlando when we arrive.

Praying for a light wind or I will be having a seriously bad hair day!!

I just talked to Rosie last week. She ASSURED me that using red petals on the aisle would definitely stain the bottom of my dress. While the bottom of my dress is going to be filthy anyway, I don't think I want to ADD more stains if it can be avoided.

But for other brides looking into doing this...I am having my ceremony at SBP and she quoted me...
$65 for petals to be sprinkled random over entire aisle
$100 for petals lining the right and left side of the aisle

I know I have seen them here where I live in both Hobby Lobby and Micheal's. Most craft stores have a "wedding section" and they are usually inexpensive and if you watch the sunday paper you might even be able to find a coupon (i know both of those stores run 40% coupons every other weekend). or just try googling it...i just typed it in google and found this website. http://store.silkrosepetals.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.catalog&categoryID=1
they seem to have a wide range of colors. i think they are relatively easy to find. good luck!!

Does anyone know how much I should buy for the WP? I was quoted $400 for petals lining the aisle and would like to get the price down by buying them myself

The dimensions for the Wedding Pavilion aisle are 90 inches wide by 54 feet from the door to the bottom step of the altar. This page on Flyboynaturals.com shows how many cups you need per square foot to have various levels of coverage, so get out yer calculator!

It does, but if you think about it, the aisle would have to accommodate at least 3 people being able to walk down side-by-side at once. Like if a bride has both her parents walk her down the aisle or if there are two bridesmaids for one groomsman to escort. And there also has to be plenty of room for people in wheelchairs, with walkers, etc. That is how I rationalize the width of the aisle!

Would anyone know the rules with regards to the Disney Cruise Line?

We are getting married on Deck 7 so I presume I can't use fake petals. What about freeze dried petals, or are there rules about taking those on the ship?

I don't really want to pay out $55 for a flower basket with petals as I only want my youngest son to throw some down the aisle before me.

I presume if I want to decorate the table at dinner that I can use fake petals inside the ship for that, is that ok?

Thanks for any help.

I didn't get the petals because I was afraid I would have spent the money and they just blow away. We did have a light breeze (in my video below) but it can get windy on deck.

Those numbers came straight from Disney. I think it's like Sarah says....

Most aisle runners seem to only cover a third or half the width of the WP aisle, which I've never understood because for me the point would be to cover up that carpet!
