How to Place Rose Petals on a Bed
Keeping romance alive takes a bit of thought and effort. One impressive way to create a romantic atmosphere is by scattering rose petals on a bed. This time-honored tradition takes relatively little time to execute. It does require some effort and planning, however. This is also a romantic way to celebrate a special occasion, such as an anniversary or birthday. Add a special gift if you like, perhaps placed on a pillow, for an extra surprise.

Tips & Warnings
Craft shops sell silk rose petals in bags. This is a good option if your loved one has allergies or if fresh petals aren't available.
Creating a romantic atmosphere is important. In addition to the rose petals, light candles (in safe places) and play soft music in the bedroom. A chilled bottle of wine or champagne and two flutes make another nice touch.
