Roses come in packs of twenty-five roses of the same color.  It takes two to three roses to yield enough petals for one table. 

Your options for adding color to a space, using rose petals, are not limited to tables.  You can use them to line your ailse, as in this picture.

This is a terrific job for your bridesmaids, and they will enjoy beheading the roses and putting them on the tables.
