WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR FLOWERS AFTER THE WEDDING

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR FLOWERS AFTER THE WEDDING

After the last guest leaves your reception and the cleanup begins, one of the biggest wastes we see is gorgeous flower arrangements being tossed into trash cans. Some family will take a few arrangements home, but with you leaving for your honeymoon their is no practical way for you to enjoy all of the beautiful arrangements. There are so amazing alternative options such as having your flowers donated. We wish we had known about these great ideas for our own wedding!

1. DONATE YOUR FLOWERS LOCALLY – Find a local places such as Veteran Affairs, a retirement community, another wedding, funeral home, or the hospital who will take a floral donation.
2. REPEAT ROSES – Don’t have time to take them to a local charity or location? Find a company like Repeat Roses to help ensure your flowers bring more hope & love to others.
3. PRESERVE YOUR BOUQUET –  There are online companies such as, Timeless Flowers, that you can send your bouquet to. We recommend finding a local artist who can preserve your arrangement in either a shadowbox or something fun & unique such as potpourri or in a candle. There’s also the good old DIY option of simply hanging the bouquet upside down and waiting for it to dry.

Don’t be like us! Be smart & know options for sharing your flowers after the wedding day. Spread some love, smiles, and joy to others.
