I just threw my bouquet away. Poll
Sad.
It was moldy. Orchids and callas don't dry so well.

Re: I just threw my bouquet away. Poll
Mine has been tossed but not by me. I was drying it in the laundry room and DH decided to "clean it out" well he didn't know what it was cause it was at that yucky smelly stage so he chunked it. I was upset but it really wasn't practical to keep it and I know it would have gotten thrown away evetually. So I tried not to be too upset about it.
This.
I took mine with us on our honeymoon so I could enjoy it as long as possible. I didn't have any plans on drying it and figured I paid enough money for it that it was silly to let it sit at home for two weeks while we were gone.
I took it with us when we went to Downtown Disney and have a couple of pictures with it and Disney characters. We also went on a cruise so I have pictures of it on the balcony with different ports in the background. By the end of the cruise it was looking pretty sad. DH wanted to throw it over the balcony into the ocean but I was afraid that we would get in trouble for throwing stuff off the ship (yeah DH still teases me about this) so we just left it in the room when we left.
I dried the roses because the rest wouldn't have kept. I wrapped the 4 of them in the ribbon that was around it and had it on my dresser for about 9 months and then the cat got a hold of it...
DH's bout looks awesome though, it's on a shelf the cat can't reach! And I saved the brown curly things from my bouquet that weren't alive.
My MIL tried to dry it for me, but it just didnt work out.
we do have one of the guys corsages in a shadow box
My aunt laid my bouquet and my moms as well on my Nana's grave for us . . .
I would have loved to have kept it, but it meant more to me that it went to my Nana.
That's a really sweet idea.
