How to re-sell real wedding flowers?

I had real flowers for my wedding and I don't think I would've wanted to buy flowers that were previously used for someone else's wedding. The items for weddings are usually done a day or two in advance so I would worry how lively the flowers would look a day or two after the wedding.

Don’t sell them. Donate them to local funeral home for families who can’t afford flowers otherwise.

I agree with Michelle. Any flowers of ours that aren’t taken by local family will be donated to a local nursing or funeral home.

A hospital would appreciate them too

A domestic violence shelter may be nice too, in addition to nursing homes, funeral homes, and hospitals. They could give bouquets to the families and have some fresh flowers throughout the shelter/safe house to brighten up the place.

Excellent idea. They may even have someone willing to pick them up if you call ahead to make arrangements.

Sounds like it would be pretty complicated because real flowers don't last very long... we donated ours to a local nursing home the day after the wedding.

I long ago deleted the websites, but there are a number of organizations in NYC that will take real flowers and donate them to any of the above mentioned places. They will rearrange them so they don't look like wedding flowers.

A quick google should find them.
