    Hey everyone just wondered if it would be bad luck to throw one of my bms bouquets instead of my own cos im having silk flowers and wanted to keep my bouquet so dont want it getting spoiled when i chuck it and dont want the person who catches it to think they can keep it lol what are everyones thoughts on this????

    Second thing is anybody leaving their reception before their guests leave or are you staying til the end cos not sure what me and h2b should do was thinking of staging some pics with photographer that look like we're leaving but not sure wether we should party til the last song or bugger off early lol

    We will be staying till the end, I'm not paying all that money out for a big party and leave the guests to enjoy it all, lol. As for the flowers I am having silk ones too which are not to expensive so I am getting two so I can throw the one I use and still have the other one at home I can keep. x

    I'm doing a cheap plastic version of my bouquet to throw (mine are real flowers that my mum will be making), so I don't see why throwing a fake is a bad idea if you want to save your real one.

    As for leaving early, the h2b and I are hardly party animals and I will have been up since 7am. I certainly am not staying until midnight- especially when breakfast is being served early and we need to leave the venue the next day by 10am. I need my sleep.

    Plus its traditional for the bride and groom to leave early- usually to go on their honeymoon. Besides, better an absent bride than one who's fallen asleep in their portion of wedding cake.

    Good idea for spare bouquet to throw as I want to keep bouquet, I am going to try and make my own bouquet with flowers I will grow from my garden (or let's say pots) but could get a cheap artificial one to throw. I am going to stay till near the end at least, I am a real party animal and need very little sleep at the moment my average is about 4/5 hours a night. I will enjoy the party as much as I can as it is my day and I'll be the official translator between my family and everybody else.

    Yup I agree with the leaving early that it was tradition that the guests would see them off on their way to their honeymoon so you just stay as long as you want to stay. I would say get a spare made if your bridesmaid wants to keep theirs but if they are not bothered about keeping them throw that instead to save you some money. I'm not going to throw mine and I'm not paying out for another one when I only have 5 unmarried guests.

    I heard it was bad manners to leave before the bride and groom so I dont think you need to stay if you dont want to. We're staying at hotel so will probably be at the party until the end... I cant wait! x

    We are staying the night because after spending so much money and time...I would like it to last a long time, plus, my guests are making so much effort to come even from oversees, I can't leave them hanging! Its should be the longest evening party, and a daay to remember.
    For the bouquet, throw fresh flowers...that gives good luck. the silk one you can keep....win win situation. You can carry both at different times during the church and the reception for example.

    Can't wait till March 31st 2012
