Flowers from your ceremony and reception can be sent to area hospitals and nursing homes. Many churches and venues will take care of seeing that they get put into the right hands. You may also want to ask a friend or relative to arrange for the delivery. Balloons are a sight to behold, flying off in the bright blue sky but wouldn't they be more beautiful in the hands of a child? You may want to donate the balloons to the pediatric unit of a hospital or children's home. Also, unserved reception leftovers can sometimes be donated to homeless shelters and meals on wheels. On a day when your heart is so full of love, why not extend that love and joy to people who will truly receive joy in return.
