Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

Well I know my friend was able to take them to bring to her wedding reception to put at the base of her and her DH's table. So I just always assumed that you COULD take them. I never really thought of whether or not the church would care if you took them. I wouldn't stress about it - plus you said no one knows you didn't ask right?

If I were you, and this is JMO, I would make a nice donation 'in memory of...', send a note to her children and forget about it!! What's done is done...besides, it is not that big of a deal...at least someone was enjoying the flowers!

Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

Sue, I think you absolutely did the right thing. They had no right to ask you that. The flowers should have stayed in church, and even if not, they were YOUR wedding flowers..not for another purpose.

Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

My church said the flowers were a donation. I wouldn't feel guilty!

Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

I think they put you in a spot by asking. It would've been different if someone else suggested you do it or if you thought of it yourself and offered them up. But if it were me, I probably would have let them take the flowers. But that's after making sure that they church would let you take them because alot of them don't. I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about now though.

Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

Wouldn't they be wilted by then?? I think it was rude of them to ask in the first place though

Re: hmmm...was this wrong? long

My gut reaction was that I wouldn't want my wedding flowers used for a memorial..maybe b/c my family is a bit superstitious and doesn't like to mix the positive with the negative. I don't know the protocol for flowers and churches at all though!
