?This is may sound really stupid but my younger brother is very special to me (had a lot of issues in life) and I'd like him to have something special as a gift on my wedding day. Could I give him my bouquet? ???? or does anyone have any ideas on what I could give him?

My brother is walking me down the aisle with my Dad :) that will probably mean more to him than a present :)

Couldnt u get him a gift that he can keep? Like a watch or something, i dont think giving ur flowers to him would mean the same as at would to a women unless he loves flowers

My brother is in my party so he's wearing the same colour suit as the bridesmaids dresses so that means he's involved in like all the planning for my hen do etc

Without knowing you both this is hard to answer. If it were me I would try to find something that was personal to his journey or the journey you Have both taken. Something that says how proud you are and how much you love him. Unfortunately that means it needs to be very personal and specific so advice is hard to give x good luck

A pocket watch could be nice x

Something like an engraved pocketwatch would be nice. I like flowers but I'd rather receive something that lasts a bit longer! I got my husband a pocketwatch :)

My uncle, who is like a second dad to me, got an engraved hip flask from us

You can get flowers made into paperweights and different objects (I think on etsy?) as a keepsake x

My brother walked me down the aisle and gave the most amazing speech at my wedding. He has always been my brother, my father figure and my best friend so I knew he needed something special. I gave him an engraved pocket watch and a framed print of his fave poem IF by Rudyard Kipling, It has a very deep meaning to him (he also has the word IF tattooed on his back) he loved them and it was very emotional giving him the gifts its also one of my fondest memories of my wedding day. Look in your heart and your memories and I'm sure you will pick the perfect gift for him.

How about arranging a special day out with your brother where you take him to his favourite restaurant or to a concert something like that?

Mine was my witness but I didn't tell him so when it came to signing I just grabbed his hand; he was so confused yet so happy.

My brother gave me away. I bought him some cufflinks that had 'brother of the bride' written on them

Engraved pocket watch or something personalised he can keep, flowers wilt
