Decorations as "Gifts"?

Hello ladies, I have a random question.  

For our outdoor ceremony and reception, my mother is planning on buying some potted flowers and displaying them around our venue (ca. 15 potted flowers in all).  We are planning on giving them as gifts to people who are close to the WP/ people in our families who would appreciate them: i.e. fiance's mom and aunts, my aunts and cousins, a couple of WP members who are not from OOT.  We're only going to gift them to people we know would appreciate them (I, for one, am not so plant-savvy as most and probably wouldn't be able to keep potted flowers alive lol!)  Is this a good idea?  

We are thinking of giving them handwritten cards at the wedding saying something to the effect of "please choose a flower to take home with you."  Is this acceptable?  These wouldn't be the only gifts we're giving WP and close family, but an extra.  

Thanks in advance for any advice!
