## PR

A career in public relations meant working closely with floral designers to produce
stylish decor for hotel and restaurant openings, product launches and charity events.
Opening a boutique wedding and event design company meant working closely with brides
and florists to turn the “Big Day” dreams into a reality. This usually involved 
thousands and thousands of flowers.

While designing and planning week after week of soirees, Jennifer grew frustrated
with what she witnessed while breaking down her clients’ special events. After spending
time, talent and a huge chunk of a client’s budget resources creating perfect table
centerpieces overflowing with beautifully styled blooms, she was heartbroken to 
see so many flowers disposed of at the end of a four-hour wedding reception. When
she recognized an opportunity to harness the love, happiness and beauty of the celebration’s
flowers to deliver happiness to even more people, she decided to do something about
it and launched Repeat​ Roses.​

### National Movement

While launching a national movement rooted in kindness, Repeat Roses has also set
out to incorporate an eco-friendly sustainability element to the wedding industry.
Many newly engaged couples are searching for ways to make their weddings more “green.”
Repeat Roses has created a zero-waste service to collect the previously delivered(
and now expired) flowers from their partner non-profits for composting.

This full service not only spreads the joy but it diverts a significant amount of
event waste volume from landfills where organic waste emits environmentally harmful
methane gas. According to the US EPA, methane (CH4) is the second most prevalent
greenhouse gas emitted in the United States from human activities. Pound for pound,
the comparative impact of CH4 on climate change is over 20 times greater than CO2
over a 100-year period.

### Going Green

Imagine if every wedding, charity gala and special event took steps to be more green
and sustainable. Repeat Roses is on a mission to bring this to fruition for individuals,
corporations and large events. Most recently, the Company repurposed flowers donated
by wedding couples in Austin, Texas in order to create event decor and table accents
for the Rainforest Partnership’s “Films For The Forest” event at the 2015 [SXSW](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/07/sxsw-eco-connecting-leaders-for-sustainable-solutions/)
Film Festival. The flowers continued their journey to the Ronald McDonald House 
in Central Texas where the lush blooms’ beauty brightened up the day for residents.

> _“I find it heart-warming and compelling to know these generous Austin newlyweds’
> first acts as married couples was one of kindness and sustainability,” notes Grove.“
> Choosing to start their marriage this way is such an inspiring sign of love for
> one another, giving back to the local community and protecting the world we all
> live in.” _

Words to live by.
