How do you package wedding corsages and bouts?

Just curious how everyone does this. I've gone back and forth over the last couple years... right now I put them in cello bags, placed in a tray with shred or tissue. I use logo labels to close the bags... labeled with "groom", "mother", etc.

I'm always looking for new ideas, whether it saves time/money, or just looks cool. :spin

I bag all the personal flowers each in its own cello bag. On each bag I staple a strip of #9 acetate ribbon in the wedding colors, with a clear label attached identifying the name of the person who gets those flowers.

I buy those large, inexpensive clear plastic-covered silver trays from the party stores - about 18-20" in diameter and maybe 5" high. I arrange the bags of personal flowers in the plastic cover, with the ribbon labels down, then lock the tray on tight. When I turn it over, you see all the labels in a spiral through the clear cover. I put all the ladies' flowers in one container, and all the men's in another. Then when they get delivered, one can go to the ladies' dressing room and one to the men's.

well it's not glamourous but rather practical. I cello bag them individually and then label the unobvious ones with a sharpie. and then put them in a long clear rose box. It usually takes 2 rose boxes.

I see zero point in making it pretty. However I will tie a bit of ribbon on the outside of the box if I feel like it and remember that matches the wedding. But really I don't think they care. And I honestly feel bad about putting the extra ribbon on the box.

More and more I'm more concerned about waste and land fills. All that fluff just ends up in the garbage.
