Reception Tables - Are you read for your per table rose count? You still have enough roses to user 57 stems per centerpiece! That’s almost 5 dozen roses! Our recommendation is to take 7 of the stems per table and remove the petals. Store them in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. This will keep them fresh and ready to scatter around your table tops. Take the remaining 50 roses per table, mix them with the greens, and your centerpieces are on their way! Don't need 57 roses per table, cut $170 from the bottom line by using 44 roses for each table.
