What are you doing with your bouquet after the wedding?

I am having fresh flowers and am planning to take mine to the Garden of Remembrance where the ashes of both my parents are scattered and leave them there.

    The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.:o

    I'm doing the same Floss. I'm giving mine to my mum to place where my grandparents ashes are scattered aswell.
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    Can't do that - if any of our nieces catch then our brothers will complain about paying for a wedding & if either of my sons' GF's catch them I'm not paying for another wedding!!

    That's a lovely idea, I was considering having them preserved when I thought of real flowers.. having them put into a frame so I could keep them forever. However, I'm now having a button bouquet, so I will have them displayed in somewhere in our new house :)

    ive made a button bouquet to which every1 looks it BUT they dont like the tought of me useing it as my bouquet so back to sq one
    real flowers it is
  • I took a few flowers out to press but put the main bouquet on my Grandads grave. He died a few months before :( x

    I like the idea of having a mini bouquet to throw. I was adamant I wasn't throwing mine but a mini bouquet would have been a great idea!
  • I didn't throw mine either as I wanted to put it on my Dad's grave the following day.
