Our Story

We’re Arielle & Aviva, sisters and co-founders of ReVased! ReVased officially launched in 2019, but the idea really began two years earlier… at our weddings.

Aviva got married in September 2017. As the younger sister, Arielle followed closely behind (just nine months later - purely coincidental, obviously). After both of our weddings, we had the same sinking feeling: our beautiful, expensive, perfectly fresh floral arrangements were discarded just hours after the celebrations ended.

It felt wasteful. And unnecessary.

So we decided to do something about it.

We began “upcycling” flowers from events, reselling a portion and donating the rest to organizations that could use a little extra beauty. What started as a small, scrappy solution to wedding waste quickly grew into something bigger.

Then the pandemic hit.

Overnight, events were cancelled and our entire source of supply disappeared. After the initial panic of pausing our brand new business, we stepped back and took a closer look at the floral supply chain as a whole. We realized there was an opportunity to reduce waste on a much larger scale.

That’s when ReVased evolved.

Today, we work directly with sustainable farms to ship flowers and plants straight to you. By shortening the supply chain, we’re able to:
- Support responsible growers
- Reduce carbon emissions from excessive transit
- Cut down on unnecessary waste
- Decrease the total number of stems being cut
- Deliver exceptionally fresh flowers and plants

We also offset the emissions that do come from each shipment, making our shipping carbon neutral.

As our community has grown, so has our impact. We now deliver flowers and plants nationwide, all while staying committed to our original mission of upcycling and donating. We continue to collaborate with generous event hosts across the country to repurpose post-event flowers, donating them through our ReVased Non-Profit Floral Donation Directory to organizations that welcome beauty with open arms.

Along the way, we were honored to be named runner-up in the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network 2021 Dream Tech Contest and accepted into two incredible accelerators: Shift Ventures’ Conscious Venture Labs Fifth Cohort and the Emerging Technology Center’s AccelerateBaltimore 2019 Cohort.

At the end of the day, we’re still two sisters who believe flowers should never go to waste. Arielle agrees with Aviva (surprise!) that you should try ReVased. Feel good one stem at a time. 🌿
