Wedding Roses

By Jamie McIntosh, About.com Guide

Rose petals are a popular way to increase the presence of flowers on your wedding day without incurring the expense of additional floral arrangements. You can use rose petals to decorate your reception tables, to sprinkle down the aisle, to act as a filler in flower girl baskets, and to shower the newlywed couple. Fresh rose petals will last about 72 hours under refrigeration.
