What to do with flowers once your wedding is done? This is a great question for brides who are decorating the flowers and decor themselves or if you are an event planner/florist that planned an event for a living. There is buying flowers and making them pretty and then having to get rid of them at the end of the night. What do people typically do? They throw it away but what if I told you that you don’t have to simply throw away the beautiful flowers that you spend so much money on.
Give them to Family & Friends
There have been some wedding where the guests got to have the flowers and decor on the wedding tables. A sea of people gathering the decor and giving them a new home into their homes. It is a nice keepsake for family and friends. It also will give the bridal party some help when having to clean up the wedding venue, if you don’t have a company already providing that service.
Donate Your Wedding Flowers
Rebloom is a brilliant company that works with event planners to be able to take the flowers after your wedding is all done. In order to keep the flowers fresh still as well as to keep the flower’s quality. They refrigeration the flowers overnight, then they deliver the arrangements to you. Another great thing about Rebloom is that they donate a large portion of the money to a charity of the host’s choice.
Repeat Roses takes your wedding flowers and restyles them for redistribution to patients that are in hospices, cancer treatment centers, domestic abuse or homeless shelters. So, the same flowers you loved and enjoyed are not making others happy. What sets this company apart is that they don’t only leave the flowers there, they come back to pick up the weary flowers that would have been tossed away back with them for composting.
Back Yard Garden
Love gardening? Then why not use the flowers from the reception and add them to your garden. Who doesn’t love free flowers especially if the bridal party decides on potted plants? Not only do you have decor for your wedding but now you have natural decor for your backyard garden. What a beautiful way to keep the love alive but bringing your wedding decor home with you.
Final Thoughts
When picking out flowers or even before having your wedding decorated. Consider your options of what you are going to do with it after the fact. Don’t simply throw away fresh flowers. So, what to do with flowers once the wedding is done? Recycle your flowers so that others can enjoy it as well. It was made for your wedding but can last a lot longer than one day.
