The Green Bride Guide states that the average wedding produces 400 lbs of garbage and 63 tons of CO2. With an estimated 2.5 million weddings per year, that is about 1 billion lbs of trash and as many emissions as approximately 4 people would produce in a year, in just one single day. Petals for Hope’s mission is to help transform the event and wedding industry into a more sustainable one by creating a streamlined and cost-effective donation process. 

Having previously worked in the event industry, we understand first hand the stress that comes along with planning weddings and events. The last thing we want to do is to make this process more cumbersome than necessary. We get asked all of the time if our process is really this straightforward…and we are so glad that we can reply with confidence that it is! You can rest easy knowing that we will be handling your floral donation with the utmost professionalism, while also not adding any additional stress or coordinating on your end.

Our fees are based on the size and scale of your event and count’s as a tax-deductable donation alongside the donation of your flowers. The fee covers the coordination and execution of service by our highly professional and trained team members. Following your event, you will receive a report outlining the journey of your floral donation.

You also have the option of table cards to display at your wedding or event explaining to your guests that you will be donating your flowers to our organization.

Petals for Hope services and workshops are available across all of North America and is available for destination weddings or events. We are in the process of expanding internationally.
