Bouquet Toss

[mg1979]

Are you going to do the traditional bouquet toss? Do people still do that? I kind of want to save my bouquet.

I say skip it. Are you using real or artificial flowers?

I did it, but my florist gave me a bouquet to use strictly for the toss. It was just a cheaper version of my bouquet.

^^I'm not married but like the post above the brides I know had a second "throwaway" bouquet made for the bouquet toss.

It's YOUR day and it's all negotiable.

No. It's tacky to me.

No I'm not doing the toss because there aren't any single adults coming.

The flowers will be real.

There will be a very small number of single ladies, but they're all older like we are. The last few weddings I went to I was dreading that they might do the bouquet toss & force the singles out. I really don't want to make my single friends feel that way cause I know people treat you like you're weird if you're not married at a certain age.

I had been considering a throw away bouquet if we do it, but I just didn't know if it was acceptable to just skip it.

There are a lot more people passing on the traditional bouquet toss. Some people say it is embarrassing to single out the unattached ladies. I actually wrote a blog post about this topic and alternatives tot he bouquet toss a while back.

I saw on a wedding show where the bride didn't do the traditional bouquet toss but instead gave the bouquet to the longest married couple. I thought that was a nice twist.

Aww, I really like that idea.

I didn't do a bouquet toss. What I did was a married couple dance and the DJ eliminated people until the couple who were married the longest remain standing. In our case it was Hubby's grand-parents married for 59 years! They gave us advice to a long happy marriage and we presented them our toss bouquet. I thought that was more fun than making people uncomfortable with the toss.

The married couple dance is cute...but we have a lot of single cousins/friends. Would it be terrible to do both?

We're doing our renewal and DH's grandparents were married for 55+ years until they passed last year. Instead of a(nother) bouquet toss, I'll take my bouquet to their graves.
