The prettiest blooms you have carefully chosen to bring colour to your wedding day can be reused even after the I dos. Read on to learn more on how to make the most out of your beautiful wedding flowers.
Wedding Flowers and Wedding Decorations
With the hundreds of dollars spent on picking the most perfect flowers for the big day, you’d want to make the most out of each bloom, right? After all the photos with the bouquets and after all the guests have marvelled at their table decorations, what can you do with your precious wedding flowers?
Giftware Direct’s team has rounded up a couple of creative and practical ideas to ensure that you get the most out of these gorgeous blooms and not put them to waste right after all the photos and bouquet toss.
Have the blooms preserved.
Especially for the gorgeous bridal bouquet, have your flowers preserved so you get to keep them for a long time. Decide whether you’d want to have the entire bouquet preserved or just the blooms and buds then search online for a preservationist near your area. Afterwards, you can have it placed inside a shadowbox that’s perfect beside your vanity or in your powder room.
Let your guests bring them home.
For table centrepieces and other floral arrangements used during the reception, you can let your guests bring home the blooms as a charming wedding favour. Make sure to let your florist know that you’re giving them away so they can use handy vases and pretty ribbons in tying the blooms together for Aunts and Grandmas to take home. As an added token, you can place the flowers in a personalised glass vase that’s perfect for your aunt’s breakfast table and your co-workers’ office desks, too.
Remember your loved ones.
For those who cannot be present during your special day, share the love and remember them through the lovely blooms. Leave the bouquets and the flowers right by their graves and let them know that they too are loved and missed.
Share your blooms with others.
Donate your floral arrangements and bouquets to the nearest retirement home, orphanage, nursing home, or homeless shelter in your city or suburb. With major cities and states, there are charitable institutions and volunteer groups you can contact who can pick up the flowers and take them straight to the hospital or home. Make sure to give them a call early on to know the procedures and also to give the bridal party or coordinator a heads up regarding the scheduled flower pick up so everything goes smoothly.
