Freeze-drying is an innovative method of drying and preserving real flowers by removing the moisture from them therefore preserving them. The petals are handpicked, then freeze-dried and the petals retain their colour, shape and size. The result is petals that look and feel almost like fresh petals, but easily last for 3-6 months (and often beyond). 

Please note that our petals are a natural product, with no dyes, and therefore there may be variations in colour, from petal to petal and what you see on your screen.

The most popular use for our petals is as confetti. It used to be tradition that guests brought confetti with them to toss but this tradition faded out as churches and venues often began rejecting paper and rice confetti. Now many venues will accept petal confetti as it's natural and biodegradable, and having your photographer capture that perfect petal toss usually makes for the most natural, happy and cherished photos from your wedding day - blissful and happy memories to frame and enjoy for a lifetime.

By the bride and groom organising confetti they will ensure that there is enough available for planty of guests to create a wonderful petal moment, and ensure that their photographer gets those precious snaps. 

Our freeze-dried rose petals are also perfect for:

• creating a petal aisle or walkway
• table decoration
• honeymoons, Valentine's Day and romantic evenings
• proposals/engagements
• potpourri, candle making and crafting
• baby showers and gender reveals
• gift boxes or baskets
• add to invitations, cards and notes
• romantic baths
• floating petals
• champagne and turndown service
• spa treatments (foot soaks, baths etc)
• memorial services

Our goal is to help you add an extra special touch to your wedding decoration, event or special occasion. Our petals are a natural, beautiful choice with endless possibilities. 

When cared for correctly freeze-dried rose petals will last 3-6 months, sometimes even years. It makes them perfect for weddings and events as you can buy them weeks in advance, and even decorate in advance to save you time and hassle.

To care for your petals please follow these guidelines: store in a cool, dry, dark place (a cupboard is perfect!), avoid heat, humidity and bright sunlight. Do not refrigerate. We recommend ordering your petals 1 month prior to your event to ensure they are delivered in good time, and are at their 'freshest'.

Please note that pale pink petals are the most likely to fade in colour quickly. We recommend buying pale pink 3 weeks in advance of your event to ensure they are at their finest. 

We are happy to accept returns on any of our 2 & 4 litre boxes, within 14 days, should you change your mind following their delivery, provided they are in their original packaging and in their original/ resalable condition. Postage on returned items will be paid for by the customer (and must be returned by registered/trackable post). We will issue you a full refund on the cost of the petals when they are safetly returned to us. The original cost of shipping will not be refunded.

Please note that returns are only accepted on our 2 & 4 litre boxes, and are not available on larger orders (6 litres or more). This is due to the fact that we custom order larger quantities of petals from our supplier for you, and this process begins shortly after your order is placed. Freeze dried rose petals are also a perishable item, and we might not always be able to sell them on to another customer before they perish. For these reasons we do not accept returns on orders of 6+ litres of rose petals. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Please contact sales@rosepetals.ie should you have any questions regarding returns and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
