Your wedding bouquet figuratively represents many symbols for your wedding: the blooming of spring, the liveliness of your love together, and the purity of your supposed virginity. The bouquet also represents the literal price tag that come along with the wedding as well. It's a shame to just toss this expensive sucker over your shoulder like meaningless bridesmaid gifts. Be selfish. Hold onto the bouquet to preserve for years to come.
