Buy a few dozen roses in pastel colors and remove the petals from each rose and dry them a few weeks before the wedding. Don’t use yellow roses they have a tendency to turn brown, or red roses they dry black. You can easily dry the rose petals by placing them in a basket in a warm place and stirring them every few days. You can jump start the process by turning the oven on to the lowest setting for 15 minutes, turning it off and then placing the rose petals in a basket in the oven. Remove after a couple of hours. The oven can not be set at higher than 200 degrees and it must be off before you start. You can also buy dried rose petals in bulk.
Scent the rose petals with a few drops of scented oil. Place a tablespoon or so of the dried petals in the center of a circle of fabric netting – sold in crafts stores. Tie the circle with a ribbon that matches your wedding color scheme. Place baskets of these sachets on each table at the reception, or have a few friends hand a sachet to each guest as they leave the ceremony. The sachets will not only be a lovely color accent but the scent will perfume the air on your wedding day.
