What does Freeze-dried mean?
Freeze-drying is the most advanced method of drying flowers .  The technology for freeze-drying   flowers  has only been available in the last decade or so, and  is still  relatively new  in the floral industry.
  
Freeze-drying is an expensive process that  yields extraordinary, exquisite results.  Petals look as if they have just fallen off the rose!  Because of the way the moisture is removed in the freeze-dryer, petals retain their shape and do not shrink or discolor.  Petals are flexible and feel more soft  than brittle.

Quality
freeze-dried Rose Petals do not come easily.  This is why they are relatively hard to find in the general market-place.

  • Why not use fresh petals for tossing?
    Fresh petals may stain wedding gowns.  Brides have reported fresh petals being caught in their gowns, and the crushed petals will leave a stain on the gown that is very likely permanent. 
    Fresh petals may also stain  linens or carpeting. 

  • Fresh petals can also be slippery.
  • Keeping fresh petals from wilting is a concern...
    using beautiful freeze-dried petals creates a carefree day.

  • About Colors:
    Most Freeze-dried reds look like a rich burgundy.
    Most Freeze-dried whites look like a pale blush Ivory  or
    a pale yellow Ivory, depending on the rose.

    The other colors such as pink or yellow or coral  or lavender
    are true to the rose.

  • About Fragrance:
    While some batches of dried petals do retain some fragrance,
    most do not.  If you desire more fragrance, place a rose-scented
    sachet in the bottom of the bag of petals for a few days. 

  • Storage:
    If stored properly, petals will keep for weeks.  Protect
    from excessive moisture and  heat or cold. 

    Keep petals in their plastic bag.
    [Bag may be placed in a plastic box for longer storage, if desired.]
    They do not need to be refrigerated.

    If petals become too dry and feel less soft  than desired,
    they may be hydrated by exposing the petals to steam
    for a few minutes.

This is a comment from one of our Mom's:


I cannot believe how wonderful the flower petals were!
I ordered 30 cups, yet it did not look like 30 cups!  Still, it smelled wonderful, so I started putting the petals into the holders ....

The 30 cups of flower petals filled 90 holders!  It was wonderful.  
We put them into seats at the wedding and they were thrown at the
newly married couple as they walked back down the aisle.  It was splendid!
It looks lovely on video to see the petals floating down onto the couple
as they go down the aisle
