Recycle flowers

I havent seen this in canada. however you can contact brides in the group and ask them if you can reuse their flowers. theres also a wedding group on fb called gta wedding marketplace and brides have been selling their flowers to other brides whose weddings are the next day or the next week try there as well

I haven't heard of any Canadian ones either. I like Tori's idea of trying to find a wedding before or after yours to share with.


And if that doesn't work you can make some little old ladies the happiest gals by donating them to a local nursing home. Bonus points if you drop them off the next day in your wedding clothes, you'll probably leave with a few new surrogate grandmas!

There are ways to donate/gift flowers to other sources:

1. Nursing homes to brighten up the space for the elderly

2. Business owners that may appreciate it coming from you

3. Giving away during the reception for guests to take home if they wish

It does give a good part of you to know whomever it getting the flowers will always know you remember them.

I like Tori’s idea of finding your wedding sister and doing a split. I have also never seen a Canadian company that does flower swapping. You could look into renting fake flowers. Thats eco friendly in the sense that the rental company and continuously reuse everything.

Oh I've heard of that - I think you're talking about Bouquet for a day right? Man, I wish I could help you but I don't think that I've heard of a Canadian site that does the same thing yet. It's still fairly new so I don't know if that will be a thing for at least another year maybe.

Perhaps you could try looking on local wedding FB groups to find your own wedding day sister (like the day before or after) and see if they would want to go 60:40 with you? (I assume the first person pays more based on flowers might be less than perfect for the second day.)

This may not apply at all but a few churches my FH knows of actually donate the flowers to old age homes and other churches in the area. I thought this was really nice actually!
