I stumbled on this posting from etsy (i LOVE me some etsy and have bought several things for my wedding here lol). It is freeze dried/preserved flower petals which I believe last a year and they have the same look and feel of fresh flowers. I ordered a couple of samples boxes in the colors i need. This sounds like a good option since im not doing any floral arrangements for the ceremony or reception tables. Also i like i can jist store them away until i need them. I have no affiliation to this business- just wanted to share a good find. Found them here:https://www.etsy.com/listing/470545601/rose-petals-ivory-blush-blend-real?ref=related-2
