Hadley 1 - drying roses is easy, just hang the whole head upside down somewhere warm and dry and they will do the work for you. That said you will loose the colour - it will fade to a dusky shade. you can order ones which have been freeze dried I think, but not the same if you have some from roses your dad used to keep.
I don't know of any way of keeping the colour - there may be some preservatives?

Sorry can I be a pain again - how do you hang the head upside down??? Need all the info so I can practise on the big bouquet of roses I'll get for the valentines - or maybe it will actually be a trip to the supermarket. :rotfl:

I just tie them with whatever is to hand, ribbon for example, around the stem then hang them. Try in the airing cupboard. Megan

Save me starting a new thread...

Has anyone got recommendations for bulk buying? (Just confetti not cones etc). Looking on eBay, but don't know where to start!!

Is it just me or have people gotten too expecting with weddings nowadays? Free confetti, free bar, favours, food, cake....

Tell me about it!!! We are supplying drinks as we are having it at home and its cheaper than hiring a bar company and it's expected that it be there free, very annoying when I dont drink!

I also heard somewhere that one bride used fresh real petals as confetti but there was a petal stuck to her dress and she sat on it in the car and it stained her dress!
