Does the MOH hold both her bouquet and mine?

I have always seen the MOH hold it in weddings I have been in and attended

Wondering the same!

I've been a MOH twice, and both times held the bride's bouquet. I handed them off briefly to fluff out the dresses at the alter but then took them back from the girls standing nearest to me.

I only have a MOH and was thinking of handing my bouquet to my mother instead, I will okay that with her first though.

My MOH held mine. They went over it all during the rehearsal so it wasn't a surprise and was very natural during the ceremony. She handed it back to me just after we were announced husband and wife so I could have it for the recessional.

Typically bridal bouquets are a bit larger than bridesmaid bouquets so it can be difficult for a MOH to hold both bouquets. My MOH held my bouquet and then the next bridesmaid held the MOH and her own bouquet. This was nice because I did not realize how bad my dress's train was going to get all bunched up once I got to the altar so my MOH used her free hand to straighten it out right before we started. She handed it back to me after we were announced and then she took her own bouquet back from the bridesmaid.

I was MOH for my MOH a few years ago. I held mine and hers, and handed everything off to the BM next to me to fix her dress then took them back. She was so excited to walk back down the aisle with her husband that she forgot to take her bouquet back from me! It was hilarious and now we joke that I need to remember to take mine back. We might do some interesting things though since she'll be 8 months pregnant at my wedding, someone else may be put in charge of dress fluffing.

It helps if the bride holds onto her bouquet during the ceremony until it's time to take each other's hands or exchange rings. I've seen brides feel and act awkward when they pass their bouquet off too soon and then they don't know what to do with their hands. This is why it's important to conduct a walk through if not a full rehearsal. Best wishes!

I wish I had thought to ask this...it literally didn't occur to me until it happened. I walked down the aisle, got to my place, and just handed MOH the bouquet. Or maybe she reached for it, as a clue for me. Either way, poor woman stood there holding two bouquets for the whole ceremony, and I'm still not sure if that was correct haha.

If there is a little table for something like the sand ceremony, etc, you could put it there. Most of my brides hand it to their MOH, who hands their bouquet to the woman or many next to them (since the bride's bouquet is usually bigger and heavier).

I was thinking about that looking at all the brooch bouquets I feel sorry for the MOH holding that for 30mins

If you have delicate flowers, they could break or brown if you lay them down. Most MOHs hold both, or the MOH can pass hers to the next bridesmaid and just hold the bride's bouquet. I've also seen the mother of the bride stand to take her daughter's bouquet after she walks down the aisle and hand it back before the recessional
