Flowers can really make an impact at your wedding or event. Let them make a positive impact on your carbon footprint as well! There are easy ways to go eco-chic with your flowers...make sure to ask your florist the following:
1. What types of flowers will be in-season during my event?
2. What types of flowers will be in-season and local during my event?
3. What types of flowers will be in-season, local and organic during my event?
4. Do you know of any local hospitals or nursing homes that will accept my flowers the day after the event as a donation?
Buying organically grown flowers for your event is ideal but pricy! If that isn't an option, check out local and in-season varieties. In-season and local flowers will not only cut your bill down, but it will also insure that your flowers traveled less miles to get to your big day. Since you will not likely be able to enjoy your flowers the next day, think about donating them to someone who will. It is a great way to brighten the day of someone else!
Have a blissful holiday weekend!
