Recent Price and Quality Compare on Flower Petals

I have read the many posts on silk flower petals, and viewed the websites people have listed. I have not ordered samples from the different vendors, but I do know that this is an option for a small fee. Has anyone done this to compare the product?? Since I am not ordering a ton of flowers a few samples will probably equate to half the cost of the petals.

I was just wondering if anyone has recently ordered flower silk flowers that would like to comment on a) the cost and the quality. I know a cost comparison is tricky because some places use cups v. bags v. number of petals. Just wondering where the good values are and if there is a difference in quality. I have no idea if the quality difference is that noticable when it comes to the petals....maybe the are all the same!

I just plan on using them for the aisle and for the flower girls. If anyone has any info, please share!!!

I ordered from Silk Rose Petals & Freeze Dried Rose Petals - Petal Garden

I received free samples of both silk and freezedried - both are really nice! I would check them out. Their prices are really reasonable. I have not compared them to other companies but I think that the value and quality is good.

I haven't decided yet...depends on my budget. The freeze dried are obviously better for the environment if they are not fully picked up but they are more expensive. The silk are cheaper and look real but I fear that the people at the resort will not pick all of them up....But I want the aisle covered in them so I may have to go with silk, just because of budget reasons...
