I still have the bouquet which is made up of 24 white roses. The roses have died, of course, but I have managed to keep the leaves on still. I have never caught the bouquet, so i don't know if it is ok to throw out or should I keep it. What is the correct etiquette? please help.

Do whatever YOU want to do with it. Throw it away or preserve it forever! OR take a digital picture of it then throw it away!

Find a way to use the dried roses, maybe for a wreath or a basket.. It is a nice way to remember the bride who threw you this bit of good luck. Maybe use other elements of the wedding in the arrangement, like the color of the bridesmaid dresses, or some ribbons from the flowers, or some lace that looks like the brides gown, you get the idea.Take a picture of the results, and send a copy to the bride on a 6-month or 1 year anniversary. Or 2- year, since there are 24 roses.
Somewhere on line somebody knows how to preserve dried roses.
Go visit a craft store, or a gift shop for ideas on how to arrange them.
I do not know if there is bad luck in giving the roses back to the bride, you might want to check on it, it would be a thoughtful anniversary gift to give her an arrangement with her roses in it.

Throw it away or give it back to the bride on the first anniversary with fresh roses. You should have been married by now, you did catch the bouquet.

If you are close to the bride, keep it as a momento, if not, it's okay to disgard it. The tradition states that whoever catches the bouquet is the next to get married, it says nothing about keeping that bouquet until you do.

i suppose it was just a symbolism that applies to the moment you caught the bouquet. i would juz throw the bouquet away once the flowers have died.

If you don't want the bouquet, then give it back to the bride. She might want it back, and since you have taken such good care of preserving the flowers, it would make a nice gift.

now you have to hurry up and look for a b/f bcause there is a tale that said that if the future bride doesnt find a groom in 8 months there will be no marriage for this person not ever again so now you have 2 months for look for a nice guy otherwise you gonna be unmarried the rest of your life.

U should probably throw it out, unless u press the flowers to keep as a momento. It's a cute tradition, but it really doesn't mean anything........plus flowers are organisms, and dead organisms usually start to stink after awhile.

You can throw it away. If you want a memory of it take a pic of it and get rid of it.
