For the critics out there who claim weddings are a frivolous waste of money, well we couldn’t disagree more… but we understand none the less. Helping brides or better yet father’s of the bride, sleep a little better at night is the trend of donating the wedding day’s excess food, flowers, and formal wear to local charities. With just a little extra planning and our help, couples are cutting down on wedding waste to help others. Local food rescue programs pick up and deliver unused food to near by homeless shelters. As for the flowers, a lot of work goes into those perfectly quaffed center pieces, so we love when their beauty is optimized on. Couples can donate centerpieces and flowers to retirement homes and assisted living centers. Also bridesmaid dresses and groomsman tuxedos, as long as they are only slightly worn, can be donated to nonprofit organizations that provide formal wear to low income high schools.
Recently SD Events partnered with Feeding Our Neighbors food pickup and Ambrosia Catering to help donate unused food from a party hosted by Ernie Boch JR. Boston Rescue Mission will help feed over 200 people with this left over food alone.
