We often think about what we want or are getting on our wedding day. Our favorites on this list are the first three because they are about what we can give to others.
Remember Someone Important that couldn’t attend Your Wedding
Take them to a cemetery and leave them on the grave of a loved one that couldn’t be with you on your wedding day. You can also leave them on the graves that don’t have any flowers
Donate your Wedding Flowers to someone that could use cheering up
Some hospitals, nursing homes, or shelters accept flower donations to brighten up their spaces.
Compost Your Wedding Flowers
If you have a garden, compost the flowers to enrich your soil and support your plants. If you don’t have your own compost pile, many community gardens offer that service.
Preserve your Wedding Flowers with Flower Pressings
Preserve individual flowers by pressing them between the pages of a heavy book or using a flower press. These can be used for bookmarks, framed art, or scrapbooking.
Make your own Wedding Potpourri
Dry the flowers and mix them with essential oils and dried herbs to create a fragrant potpourri for your home.
Make new Flower Arrangements with old Wedding Flowers
Reuse the flowers in new arrangements for your home or to give to friends and family. You can also use your wedding flowers as part of a centerpiece or table decoration for future events or special occasions.
Create a Wedding Keepsake
Create a keepsake by arranging the dried flowers into a shadow box or frame as a reminder of your special day.
