5 ways with petals

1) For a rustic wedding, attach a lavender bundle to the back of the chairs, and try wheat sheafs on the table for a natural centrepiece.

2) Fill vintage teacups and bowls with flower heads such as peonies.

3) Decorate wedding cakes and cupcakes with rose petals. The petals are edible if freeze-dried, and are a great way to carry your theme through to your cake!

4) For unique wedding favours, place an organza bag filled with lavender grain as a sweet favour your guests can hang in their wardrobes.

5) Try scattering petals in long shapes to create a beautiful curvy petal path through your reception – they're not just for throwing!
