Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book this service?
Complete our Contact Us form and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours to chat further about your wedding details and how we can best help you! As we are a new company, we’ll only be taking 1-2 weddings per weekend, so don’t delay in booking.
How much do you charge?
For an average sized wedding, we charge $350 to $650. This covers pick up of your florals at the end of the event, rearranging and disposing florals as needed, and delivery to the local organization of your choice. Price is subject to fluctuate based on wedding reception location, pickup time, pickup size, etc.
Is Repurpose Flower Co. a non-profit/why do you charge?
No, we are not a 501-c3. The rates listed above help cover expenses including repurposing supplies, vases, tags, travel, wages, and maintaining a controlled environment for your florals to last over the weekend until Monday. Regardless of non-profit status, we are still helping clients extend the life of their flowers, providing an eco-friendlier option, and making others happy with their wedding day investment.
I’d love to donate to my grandmother’s retirement community. Do you partner with specific organizations or can I request one?
We love that! We do have recurring partnerships that we know can handle large, regular donations, but we are happy to coordinate a drop off to a specific location within 30 minutes of Richmond for an additional fee.
Are there any types of wedding florals that you don’t accept?
We cannot accept greenery swags, archways, personal flowers like corsages/boutonnieres or any arrangements that have been near food.
Will all of my flowers be donated?
The pickup amount will vary based on a number of factors. We cannot guarantee that all florals can be donated, but we will do our best! We’ll pickup as many as we can handle and the rest is the responsibility of your wedding planner and/or florist.
Who will your point of contact be for pickup on the wedding night?
We require all of our clients to have either a wedding planner or a venue coordinator as our point of contact for the evening. We’ll handle communicating with that person ahead of time, so everyone is on the same page and you can focus on enjoying your wedding! At this time, we are not accepting clients that aren’t working with a wedding planner or a venue with a coordinator.
I live in Richmond but I’m getting married in Charlottesville.
Is this service an option for me?
Absolutely! As long as we are not booked for Richmond weddings that weekend, we can accommodate out of town pickups for an additional fee.
What should we expect after the donation?
After your flowers are refreshed and re-styled, they will be personally delivered to the charity that has been selected. Each arrangement will include a custom tag letting the recipients know about the couple and the donation.
You receive a letter for the (tax-deductible) full amount of your contribution and email confirmation with photo proof of delivery!
