Help! Overabundance of Wooden Roses

Hi Ladies - I desperately need your input. Last week, someone posted a link to accents and petals from Etsy, and I LOVED the wooden roses. I planned to order 160 (or whatever the small number was), but then they were sold. I e-mailed my mom (who thought the roses were a great idea) and told her that...

Hi Ladies - I desperately need your input. Last week, someone posted a link to accents and petals from Etsy, and I LOVED the wooden roses. I planned to order 160 (or whatever the small number was), but then they were sold. I e-mailed my mom (who thought the roses were a great idea) and told her that they were sold, but I would contact the woman and ask for a custom order. In the meantime, my mom sent me a different e-mail in which she wondered if she should just order the 850 roses that were still available. I didn't get back to her in time, and she ordered them. Holy. Crap. So now we are going to have 850 wooden roses and I wasn't entirely sure I was going to order them to begin with. I would never in a zillion years tell her that because she was really trying to help me out. I have NO CLUE what to do with these flowers. We don't expect to use all 850, but if any of you creative, DIY gals have ideas for centerpieces, ceremony chair decorations, etc. I would be eternally grateful!

    Stacy C. is this a question? My 1st initial thought is no - if your using a vase. but if you say bowl - maybe. The roses are made from birch shavings and are a lil fragile from the looks of them. Anyway - I wouldn't put them in a vase but a bowl maybe. Smiley smile

    Kinda like this, but I have to agree a bowl would probably be better.
