what to do with bouquet?

MissCal11

I have a really basic question: what do I do with my bouquet after I walk down the aisle? Do I hand it to my MOH to hold along with her bouquet? Does she hand it back to me as we start walking up the aisle afterward? Does it sit at my table at the reception (I'm not tossing it).

I feel silly asking this, but I've never paid attention to this at others' weddings!

Your officiant will let you know.  Usually you hand it to your MOH at the start of your vows and take it back after.  As for the reception, I'd either keep it at my table or with the cake so others can see it.

What do I do with my bouquet after I walk down the aisle? Do I hand it to my MOH to hold along with her bouquet? Yes.  Many brides do.
Does she hand it back to me as we start walking up the aisle afterward? Yes. 
Does it sit at my table at the reception (I'm not tossing it). You can put in on the table, in a vase on the table, or on the cake table.

You usually hand it to your MOH after your father or whoever is walking you down the aisle "gives you away".  This way it frees up your hands so you and your fiance can hold hands during the ceremony.  Once your officiant pronounces you husband and wife and you kiss then your MOH hands you back your bouquet for the walk back down the aisle.  Finally you can use your bouquet as an accent piece on the cake table or on sweetheart table (if you are having one).

Thanks ladies! Talked to our officiant and got it figured out.

Yes your MOH will hold it during the ceremony and then give it back before you walk up the aisle. You can place it on your table or the cake table during the reception. I'm doing a sweetheart table and will be putting on our table in the middle.

I will be handing my bouquet to my MOH to hold along with hers after my dad gives me away and I'll have her give it back to me just after our first kiss. At the reception, my bouquet will be on display at the cake table along with the BMs bouquest as well. That way they can set it down in a safe place if they want to keep it.
