After the Aisle, Two Days: The Bouquet Question Moves Onto the Planning Calendar

Green Wedding Shoes has put a number on how long a bridal bouquet lasts once the ceremony ends: about two days. After that, it can no longer be kept. The publication set the two ways of keeping it side by side, either preserving the flowers at home or handing them to a professional, and argued that the choice belongs before the wedding. Leaving it until afterward means deciding after checkout or while waiting to board for the honeymoon. For a bride in Beverly Hills, that puts the bouquet's future on the planning calendar, next to the decisions made months ahead.
