Are you keeping your bouquet?

BShreeve · June 2010

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide whether or not I should have my florist create a bouquet to "toss" so I can keep my original. But then I wondered what on earth I would do with my actual bouquet if I were to keep it. What are you all doing??

I'm going to be moving at least twice in the next year. FI is career Army, we're going to be moving around forever and I don't want to carry around a bunch of wedding memorabilia on every move. I'll take a picture of my bouquet and call it good!

the one i carry is the one i'm tossing... i just don't see the need to keep it... but that's just me.

I had them make a toss but I didn't keep mine. I gave my bouquet to my mother after the wedding.

I had a toss bouquet but had no idea what I'd do with my buquet.

I'm sentimental but didn't want a dust-collector, so to speak.

I dried it, bought a clear plastic ball at a craft store, filled it with the flowers, trimmed it with some ribbon/glue & made a Christmas ornament out of it.

It's not as tacky as it sounds

Take some gorgeous pictures, they will last longer, and are easier to keep up with over the years.

I saved a few blooms from my DD's bouquet, and some of the ribbon stem wrap. I dried/pressed them, so she could put them in a wedding album/scrapbook later.

I'm carrying a simple presentation-style bouquet of calla lilies,divided into several mini-bouquets. I plan on giving a flower to each mother, another couple for the Virgin Mary, and tossing the remaining bouquet.

I'm not doing the bouquet toss, so I'm keeping my bouquet. We are staying in-state for our honeymoon, so I'm taking it with me! I'm going to enjoy it until it dies.

Actually, it sounds really cute.

Like one of the PP's did, I'm going to keep a few of the flowers from my bouquet and press them to use in another way. I'm not sure if I will put them in a scrapbook or between two pieces of glass to use as decor somewhere.
