Not sure where to ask this....

So, not etiquette, but it is a "how should I do this" question, so....

After our ceremony, we will share a kiss, turn and face the congregation, our pastor will announce us, then we walk back down the aisle.  Does my MOH keep my bouquet and walk down the aisle with it or do I get it back from her before the "return trip" as my FI is calling walking out of the church together?

I am not sure it really matters, but I am sort of wondering...and of course this didn't occur to any of us until after the rehearsal.

I think you would generally get it back from her right after the ring ceremony, but before you kiss and recess up the aisle.

Thanks.

I was pretty sure she handed it back to me...but I was going over the weddings I have been to in my mind and couldn;t for the life of me remember if the bride had the bouquet, LOL

Kiss, turn, take your boquet from her, be announced, walk.

It's a pretty subtle move, especially since a lot of people are going for their cameras at that point and not really paying attention to the hand-off.

If you look through a lot of the sig pictures on here, or even some of the wedding albums, you'll see a bouquet in the bride's hand as she walks arm in arm with her husband.

It will work out fine and HAPPY WEDDING DAY!

I was recently the MOH for my best friend and during the rehearsal they kissed, then I gave it back to her so she could have it for the announcing pics. 

During the actual day, she forgot and I sort of jabbed her in the back with it lol.

Yep. Lol you are way over thinking it. ;

LOL...it worked out ok, I got it back before we walked back down the aisle.  My MOH (who is 10) was pretty much trying to hand it back to me the entire ceremony, LOL  But it made it so cute.
