    Incorporating two bouquets

    My mom told me that as a surprise (she's awful at keeping secrets) my aunt is going to buy me a real flower bouquet. As you guys might know, I already made myself a button bouquet which I really love. But, my aunt is being very nice to buy me a real bouquet so I want to use both. But how? Thoughts? I'm not going to be throwing either one. And since it's a fake elopement, there's no wedding party or anything.

    I'll definitely take pictures with both, but I kind of want to use my button one for the ceremony. But I also would love to have real flowers...

    aaarg!

    So, help me! How do I use both?

    are you doing a bouquet toss? could you use the real one for that, maybe use one indoors and the other outdoors?

      Are you doing it in the courthouse? Maybe put the real flowers on the table to make the place look a bit less bare?

        I like the idea of using the real floral bouquet as a decoration, if possible. It's a lovely gesture, and I think they'd understand that you would want to use the bouquet that you worked so hard on to walk down the aisle with. Pictures with both is also a really great way to use them both

          If i remember correctlyyour ceremony isnotonthe first day of your arrival; maybe your mom could kifdnap your bouquet and pass it to youraunt who'll ask the florist to incorporate it in one bouquet? I think it would look good with white only flowers and your blue purple buttons

            Maybe your mum could get to her in time to convince her to buy you a corsage instead?

            Failing that, whoever walks you to the ceremony could carry one, and you the other?

                That's so nice of her!!! I'd put it out as a decoration, and then definitely with the pictures. LB, you worked hard on that bouquet and it turned out amazing. If someone gave me a bouquet of real flowers, I would say Thank you! but still carry the bouquet I'm making down the aisle (and probably put the real bouquet on the table or something at the reception).

                  Ah and I thought my idea to combine them would be stupid, but gosh, I do really like the look of the one dglynn77 posted!

                    This is what I was gonna suggest as well. Just make sure to let her know what color(s) to get for the real flower bouquet.
                    Do you think this could work and make you, as well as your aunt, happy?

                    This. This is only one of the reasons that I love this man. XD

                      I like the idea of combining the bouquets, but this is what my bouquet looks like. In order to combine them, they would have to tear mine apart. Which would make me upset because it took me a really long damn time to make it!!



                      We're not getting married at the courthouse, we'll be getting married behind my uncle's shop on the river. It would be nice to somehow use it as decoration, but I'm trying to figure out how. We'd have to bring out a table. I'm sure we could find one... hmm...

                        maybe ask instead of a bouquet if she could buy a small venue decoration instead? doesn't have to be too over the top- I'm using wild flowers in jars and bottles for example. Maybe a few small flowers scattered around would be pretty?

                          Would it be possible for a bridesmaid to carry one of the bouquets? I know that's not traditional, but neither is having two haha

                            Well my mom called me last night and said she went ahead and told my aunt to not get me the flower bouquet. So hooray! Problem solved!

                            Thanks for all the advice
