Send them home with guestsAt the end of your wedding reception, ask your coordinator to have the DJ make an announcement for guests to take centerpieces, floral arrangements, or a bouquet home with them. It’s one less thing you have to clean up at the end of the night, and you know those flowers are going to a good home to be enjoyed even longer! in addition to gratuityNothing says thank you like some flowers and offering them to the staff that helped bring your wedding to life! Besides the basic wedding gratuity, It is a wonderful gesture that shows you're thinking of another way to express your gratitude. Press 'emPressing your bouquet is simple and sentimental. There’s a variety of items to choose from to press in and we recommend choosing one that’s most sentimental to you! You can use a journal, a book, your guest book, your vow book, a bible, a clear picture frame, or even a shadow box. There are also local vendors that will professionally press your flowers into beautiful pieces of art, like Annie Fentz Smith + her pressed gardens! PETALS FOR HOPE
pass on a giftTis the season of giving, and a simple way to jazz up some gift wrap is to add a few flowers and greenery to the front of the packages. We recommend drying the flowers out first; so they are not as fragile. Have a friend having an upcoming surgery? Or birthday? Nothing says I am thinking about you more than passing on those beautiful arrangements; you can even personalize and purchase your own vase.
Add them to your phone caseIf you are one of those sentimental people and want to keep a little bit of your wedding day with you at all times, press your bouquet flowers into the back of a clear phone case. We guarantee that people will notice the show stopper and you have constant memories of your happy wedding day.
