Tips and Advice: rental vases for destination weddings

You've spent months flipping through magazines, searching on-line, and speaking with your wedding planner and floral designer about the tabletops/centerpieces for your reception. You've finally decided on THE perfect look for the flowers to adorn your tables. What many neglect to consider, is what to do with the flowers following the reception.

After having invested so much time and money into the flowers for your wedding, it seems such a shame to let them go to waste once the reception comes to a close. In Hawaii, many guests look forward to the possibility of taking the centerpiece home with them at the end of the reception. Brides, grooms, and emcees devise more and more creative ways for awarding the centerpiece to a lucky recipient each table.

However, if yours is a destination wedding, chances are that many of your guests will soon board a plane after your wedding, either to island-hop or to travel home, making it difficult to enjoy a beautiful floral centerpiece for more than a night or two. For destination brides and grooms, we often recommend renting vases from the floral designer. It saves on cost, promotes a "re-use, recycle" philosophy, and guests can still take the flowers themselves to enjoy after a wedding without facing the dilemma of what to do with a difficult-to-transport vase.
