Are you donating flowers (bouquets, centerpieces, etc) to a local nursing home after the wedding?

If so, how did you go about arranging that? Did your day-of-coordinator take care of it?

Oh my.....I would have NEVER thought of doing that! After my daughter's wedding, we had so many bouquets and flowers and they just ended up on my table until they died! Wow...that is a good suggestion for others getting married.





Yes, you could possibly ask your day-of-coordinator to help you with this. Or, a family member.





Great idea!
Reply:oh wow i never heard of that that's a great idea!! i'm going to do that for my wedding, contact a nursing home, and ask for the event coordinator. They usually take care of those things. I donated games to the nursing home and the event coordinator was the one that arranged everything
Reply:all four of our children did donate their flowers to both the nursing home and the hospice. they were all so pleased and grateful to be thought of! we also sent along the food that had not been touched to the gospel mission down the road which they put to good use.
Reply:Call around...most nursing homes will actually come pick up your flowers after the ceremony!
Reply:Residents always asked "Who died " when the flowers were donated.

Reply:No. In my family the flowers are always taken to the graves of those we have loved and lost.
Reply:Excellent idea! We hadn't thought of that, but I'm going to run it by the g/f, and I'm pretty sure she'll agree. Thanks!








Cheers
