Enterprising bride on a budget, Camille Hugh - Wallace, was always looking for ways to have a beautiful, glamorous wedding without breaking the bank. As such, she was glued to glossy wedding magazines, extravagant wedding TV shows, and the like, trying to find ideas and coming up with creative ways to recreate their "look" for "less".

One day while searching the popular wedding blogs, Camille took notice of an extravagantly equisite wedding that featured loose rose petals packed down a wedding aisle to create a petal path. The romance, sophistication and richness the petals added were a culmination of all the things she wanted for her own special day but first, there were a few hurdles to overcome.

A SIGNATURE PRODUCT

There was the concern over the possible stains real petals would make to her white gown as well as the high cost associated with the sheer amount of petals needed to cover her 50 foot 'aisle'. Additionally, with a rooftop wedding ceremony that would double as the same space for the cocktail hour and no wedding planner, she had to figure out a way to get the petals in place, keep them there against the wind and easily clear it away for a quick and seemless transition process.

Never one to back down from a challenge, she set out to make a pre-petalled asile runner that could be easily transported and unraveled after searching for the perfect solution on the market to no avail. With weeks of research and planning as her guide and the help of her fiance, siblings and mother the prototype of the first petal carpet was complete.

The end result was a gorgeous, hassle free and stain-resistant product hand made of life like petals which "created a breathtaking and grand entrance that made the first steps into marriage unforgettable".

Equipped with the tremendous positive feedback about her petal aisle runner, and after being asked if she could create them for other brides, Petal Happy was born, with Camille filling her first order in late 2008.
