    As a few of you know, I was all for the bouquet throw until you all started talking about keeping your bouquets. So what I want to know is... what are you going to do with them? I have looked into having mine framed but it looks expensive. I have definitely decided I want to keep it as long as it doesn't just become another dust collector. :)

    Good question! As mine will be real flowers I guess it won't keep....will be putting flowers on graves of our grandparents, but possibly use the flower arrangements from the church for that....don't know, must think...

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    I think I'm maybe the only person here who's not overly concerned with what happens to my bouquet. I dont think I'll throw it, I think thats a bit dated tbh I'm more interested in what happens to my separate fruit cutting cake... I'm sure people wont eat it so I'm taking that with me! And eating it all myself.... mwahahahahahahahaha :) need to keep my beady eye on it! x

    Mine was a crystal bouquet and it is currently in a shoe box with acid-free paper wrapped around it, in our loft. When we move in 3 weeks time, I'm hoping I can do something with it though.

    Oh I didn't know you could get them preserved??

    Yes, cake must be protected at all times Jill...! H2b keeps having a meltdown at that cider ad that's on tv at the mo - he keeps saying "Oh god, imagine someone did that at our wedding!!"

    Mine and my 4 bridesmaids flowers are foam. And tbh I'm not that bothered about my flowers I may sell them as a set on the bay.

    My plan was to give mine away, ether a charity shop or something similar but now I want to keep it..

    A few weeks ago I babysat for a young couple who had like a book shelf but strictly for wedding things (photos, bouquet, cake topper etc) & think it looked beautiful & that's what I would like to do when we move :) xx

    Mine is going on my uncle's grave as he was my best friend and an adult for advice, best of two worlds.

    It's up to the girls what they do with theirs. Might ask h2b if he wants to put his buttonhole on his dad.

    I'll probably buy a nice vase to display it in. Probably to go in the middle of our dining table (When we move somewhere that has space for one lol) or in some sort of display cabinet- that would be nice. I like the idea of having a shelf for weddingy things too.

    mine is on top of a bookcase, slowly dying haha. im tempted to send off a picture of it to someone who makes bouquets on ebay, and get a foam one made to match, but seems pointless really haha. think it will sit there forever until i decide to bin it.. its a shame though because the purple flowers have all shriveled and gone anyway. but i rememeber my mums bouquet dying on top of a wardrobe when i was growing up and thats pretty much my intention haha

    Im still leaning towards throwing it, but will have to see on the day... I looked into having it pressed and framed, its about £300ish so thats out of the question Im not willing to spend that on flowers.

    mines foam so i'll either sell it as a set on ebay with the BM's or put it in a vase at home i the perfect one :-) it has a light in the bottom of it that would look fab
