The ribbon bouquet is to symbolize the love, good wishes and support from friends and family of the bride. The bride carries the bouquet as practice, and to get acustomed to holding one on the wedding day. After the rehearsal, it is the brides decision on what she will do with the ribbons, whether she keeps the bouquet or uses the ribbons on another craft. Traditionally it is the maid of honor who collects the ribbons & makes/presents the ribbon bouquet.

It is in poor taste to have a bridal shower at the home of the bride's mother. The bride's aunts or friends host showers.
On some occasions there is a mixed bridal shower, but if that is not announced in the bridal shower then no, the groom should stay away from the bridal shower and only be there at the end of the bridal shower to pick up his bride to be after the shower is over.

Whether you know the bride or not you should bring a gift to her bridal shower. You also have the right to not attend the wedding shower especially if you are not invited to the wedding.
Either a mother; mother-in-law; sister or good friend has a bridal shower and does not require a hostess gift. If the bride wishes to thank the hostess she could send a thank you note along with an arrangement of flowers.
I would say yes, you can keep it and why would a bride toss her bouquet if she want to keep it?

Unless the bride/couple has specifically requested that there NOT be a bridal shower, they are always acceptable. Attention should be paid to holding the shower in a location and with a theme with which the bride will be comfortable.
Yes, it's absolutely proper for the groom's aunt (and/or the bride's aunt, also) to host a bridal shower. The main ones who shouldn't host bridal showers are the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom.
If the rest of the family has no objections then there is no reason the grandmother could not have a bridal shower for family members and letting the maid of honor have another bridal shower for the bride's friends.
The bride needs pots and pans to start the household. Frying pans are a good bridal shower gift.
