I decided to get a second use out of all those peach roses we used for the Peach Rose Color Study and do a study on how many roses it takes to line the aisle. I measured out a 12 feet long space and made the width 10 inches. I used to say the lining of the aisle would be 6″ wide on each side, but when I actually pulled out my measuring stick I realized it is closer to 8-10″ wide!
Lessons Learned:
Thank you for this information ~ very helpful!
Brilliant Alicia! Thanks for providing a great visual for floral designers and brides. From now on this will be my go-to source for calculating aisle petals and a reminder that “a rose is a rose and each one costs the same no matter how you plan to use it.”
Thanks for testing this out Alicia-what a wonderful guide! This will be a valuable resource for so many florists trying to guess (myself included) 🙂
Thank you so much! This is so helpful.
Good job Alicia!!!!!! This is such a great post.
Alicia, this is such helpful information!!! Thanks for doing this and sharing it!!!
Rockin’ the rose petals posts! It is such a source of confusion and frustration for florists and clients. When I calculated my first rose covered aisle, I used a one foot square tile, and came up with the formula of 3 roses per square foot was a fairly thick coverage. Thank you for your research on this. I will use these photos next time I get a request for petals.
Thank you thank you!!!
