Who will hold the bouquet during your ceremony?

Don't get caught unprepared! There are a few things many couples forget to consider when planning their ceremony, and we want to help make sure they don't slip past you!

Who will be charged with holding the bouquet(s) during the exchange of vows and rings, when you need your hands free?

You'll need both hands at the ready when you exchange rings

The next question is a very easy one to forget, but very important to consider, especially if you'll be wearing a gown!

My MOH will be holding my bouquet (along with her bouquet). Good thing she has stronger arms!

My MOH held my bouquet...all 10lbs of it (we weighed it because it was giant). Love my sister!

Geez posted before I was done! If any of you guys are thinking of large or heavy bouquets a large counterbalanced pretty vase at the altar so you don't break your MOH or POH.

My Man-of-Honor will be holding my bouquet! It works out nicely since he won't be holding anything, anyway.

No one. My officiant placed my bouquet on the table at our altar.

My MOH (my sister) will be taking care of holding my bouquet and potentially my engagement ring (since it doesn't fit on my right ring finger).

My (future at the time) brother in law held mine! I didn't have a maid of honor and my mom escorted me down the aisle and had a reading to do so it was handed to him! I thought it was pretty funny.

My 13 year old daughter is my MOH and will hold mine. We made sure it wasn't too heavy when i made it since she'll also have a small one of her own.

I plan to have my Flowr girl seated in the front row with her mom so I will have her hold it while we’re up there and hand it to me when it’s over. She’s 6 so it shouldn’t be an issue

I hadn't thought about this, but my MOH I suppose. I think she's done her research and came up with a whole list of traditional MOH duties, so I'm sure she'll let me know
