Instructions
1
Decide what kind of rose petals to use. Petals are readily available, allowing you plenty of time to prepare for Valentine's Day. Silk petals are a good option because they are long lasting and easy to clean and store. You can also go with freeze dried petals, if you prefer something more realistic. The best option is a collection of real rose petals. These have a much shorter shelf life, so wait until just before Valentine's to pick them up.
2
Buy your rose petals. Petals are available at any florist, decorations store or online. You will find good deals for freeze dried petals online, while silk petals can be found at your local nursery, craft store or big box hardware store.
3
Place rose petals on a dining room table for a romantic candlelight dinner or on a blanket for a Valentine's Day picnic.
4
Scatter rose petals down a hallway or throughout the house to create a romantic trail. Rose petal trails could be used for a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt or as a pathway to a surprise gift.
5
Insert rose petals in a card or letter to your sweetheart. If you're more of a subtle romantic, this is a quieter way to say, "I Love You."
6
Fill a bedroom with rose petals. By far the most romantic Valentine's Day consists of a bed entirely covered in rose petals. Kick it up a notch with candles and roses placed throughout the room.
Tips & Warnings
Rose petals are a great way to be spontaneous on days other than Valentine's Day. Remember, you don't need a holiday to celebrate love.
Add candles and nice scents to your rose petals for ultimate romance. The candlelight will cause the roses' colors to bounce off the walls and a pleasant fragrance will add to the ambience. Chocolates also add to the romance on Valentine's Day.
Consider using multiple color rose petals for a more vibrant, colorful look.
Watch out for thorns if you add long stemmed roses to your rose petal collection.
