Your friends’ weddings make you cry — the vows, the meaningful readings...and the thought that at the end of the night thousands of dollars’ worth of flower arrangements will be thrown away. Ask the bride (or the host of any gala) if you can arrange for some of the flowers to be delivered to local hospices or nursing homes. If you live in New York City or Los Angeles, call the nonprofit group FlowerPower at 212-308-4930 (or go to www.flowerpowernyc.org) and it will do the delivering for you.
