Wedding confetti
Hi Guys
Not sure where to start with pricing this one...........paper cones filled with fresh rose petals ? There is lots of fiddly work to be done in getting them photocopied, gluing and sticking, getting petals ready etc. But, they have to be a reasonable price or customers will stick their noses up!!! What do you reckon? Thanks in advance x

, £10 each at a guesstimate??|

Dont think it would take off down here,,,, they grumble at the "expensive" confetti at £0.99 so we give them two options the £0.99 and the cheaper crap at £0.59.....
Rose petals,,,,, whoa thats not going to be cheap.... how many roses to make a handful of petals, how many handfuls would customer want methinks at least four or five throws.... that cone is gonna be expensive.

If you're doing a lot with roses on the wedding often you'll find you have loads of guard petals and ones that are a bit marked or whatever that you have to pick off for the bouquets etc so we find you don't actually need a lot of roses to fill them.

I suppose it depends how big the cones are, I'd probably try one first using old roses to see how many roses needed to fill them

We do these for quite a few weddings a year. I provided them for the guests at my own wedding & have photos of them on my website & in portfolio etc. so I think that gives brides the idea! But we buy the paper for the cones quite cheap (works out about 6p a cone) and the rolling & glueing only takes about 30 seconds each once you've got the hang of it. We usually find one large headed rose is enough, so they don't work out too expensive
