Published on July 28, 2013 by Bel Aire FlowersLeave a comment

You’ve planned the perfect flowers for your wedding, but do you know what to do with your fabulous blooms after the big day? Here are some great ideas.

Give them away to guests. Many guests will ask about taking a centerpiece home. This is a great way to share the lasting fun of your wedding day with them.
Preserve them. Whether you dry them, press them, or have them professional preserved, your wedding flowers can be a lasting memento of your wedding day.
Donate them. Find a local nursing home or hospital and arrange to donate them. It’s a great way to spread the joy of your wedding day while doing something great for the community.

Whatever you do with your wedding flowers, making sure they’re top quality blooms can make them last longer and give you the perfect look on your wedding day. To find out more about wedding flowers in Milwaukee, or to discuss the flowers for your West Allis wedding, give us a call today!

Perk Up Your Wedding Restrooms with Flowers

You’ve planned out how to make your venue look fantastic, but when nature calls, will your guests find an ignored space? Perking up your venue’s restrooms can make a big impression with just a small amount of effort.

Flowers are the ideal way to add something special to the restrooms. Putting bud vases with a few blooms next to the sinks can be a wonderful way of brightening these rooms up. Of course, if there’s room for them, larger bouquets can also look great.

A great choice is to use flowers in your wedding colors, including those used throughout the rest of your décor. This gives your guests a sense of continuity and will make the restrooms feel like a real part of your wedding. You can also add in a few fragrant blooms to make the restrooms more inviting.

What Are Your Wedding Must Haves?

There are many elements that go into any wedding, but what pieces can you compromise on? For every couple the answer to this question will be different, of course, but it’s an important question for every couple to answer.

As you decide on the details for your wedding day, you’ll need to prioritize things. Creating a “must have” list can help you as you go further into your wedding planning, too.

For example, if two of your vendors have conflicting schedules, a must have list can help you decide what you need to do. It can also help you remember what is the most important element for your day, whether it’s flowers, music, or something else.

Of course, whether a specific bloom is at the top of your must have list or not, you’ll want to have fabulous flowers for your Wisconsin wedding. We’ve helped many couples create the perfect floral arrangements and bouquets for their wedding day. If you want to know how we can help with yours, get in touch today!
