Below are some organizations and companies that can assist you in your floral repurposing and recycling to give your flowers a second chance to bring joy.

Second Bloom was formed as a nonprofit organization with the goal of repurposing special event flowers by giving them another chance to be appreciated. Based in the Monterey Bay region, our team aims to provide hospice care patients in our community with these beautiful flowers through a repurposed beside arrangement. After arranging, second bloom gives these flowers to hospice and they deliver them directly to their patients.
Event flowers are often only seen for several hours during a ceremony or party and are typically disposed of directly after. Our belief is that flowers are meant to be appreciated for more than this limited time span and can bring joy to others if repurposed rather than thrown away. We hope to extend this joy and appreciation felt from our florals and brighten the days of patients under hospice’s care.
The nation's leading floral preservation artists; we make fresh flowers last...like memories. Turn your precious blooms into lasting art or jewelry, with pricing to fit any budget! Each custom piece is hand-crafted for you, using only the highest quality materials, by a staff of master jewelers and artisans.
The bloombeads by freezeframe process is complex and exacting. A client can either hand-deliver or ship fresh flowers to the bb studios. Upon arrival, the staff photographs, records and tags each bouquet or group of flowers. The flowers are then re-hydrated, trimmed, and placed in a freeze-dryer. It is in the freeze-dry process that floral vibrancy is captured. Once preserved, the flowers are either stemmed, re-enforced and airbrushed, or turned to a vibrant pulp, and formed into hand-shaped beads. Each completed piece goes through a rigorous quality control process, and an image of the final item is e-mailed to the client for approval.
WHY PRESERVE YOUR FLOWERS?
While many things at your wedding will be long gone after the big day, your flowers don’t have to be! Flowers alone can take up a chunk of your wedding budget. The last thing you want to see is how your beautiful bridal bouquet and expensive floral arrangements are trashed. Instead, allow your floral budget to include an investment into a piece that you and your spouse will appreciate for years to come!
