Getting More From Your Flowers
September 14th, 2011
Guests often ask us what will happen to the flowers at the end of an event. We are happy to report that there are many options and one of our favorites is to donate them to local schools and organizations. How can you become a part of what will happen to your wedding or event flowers at the end of the night? One popular Bay Area planner asked us just that. Here is an excerpt from the blog interview Emily gave to Michelle of {Dream A Little Dream Events} on how to make your wedding day a time to give.
Emily has graciously offered this advice to couples interested in donating their arrangements:
-Be realistic about the amount of flowers you are donating. Smaller organizations may only be able to accommodate 5 to 8 arrangements.
-Contact the organization in advance to ensure the donation is something they can accept as certain fragrant flowers are discouraged. Examples include lilies, hyacinth and varieties of blooming branches.
-If your vases are rented make sure the arrangements are transferred to inexpensive vases or mason jars prior to delivery.

Happy Donating,
Lydia
