Bouquet Toss: Yea or Nay?

Are you tossing your bouquet at your wedding, or skipping this tradition? If you’re tossing, will it be your actual bouquet or a prop?

    We did it - we still had a lot of single ladies and younger girls who were excited. If we had an adults only crowd where almost everyone was married, we wouldn't have needed to do it Smiley smile

    Not planning on doing it. Even when I was single I didn't like getting up to do it. The only time I remember being excited was when I was a flower girl lol. Plus my fh doesnt want to do the garter toss, so were not doing either.

    We're probably going to do it, but instead of the thing where whoever catches the garter has to put it on the person who caught the bouquet we're thinking of attaching keys to each and then the two who catch them open a box together and get a little prize.

    I'll probably get (or make...still not sure what I'm doing for flowers yet) a tossing bouquet so I can keep mine.

    We did not do a bouquet toos, but since our florist provided a "toss" bouquet at no charge (as I'm sure many do) we did an anniversary dance and gave it to my husband's aunt, who has been married to her husband for 53 years!!!

    Skipped it. We only had a couple single ladies there, so we decided not to do it.

    Yes, I will be doing a bouquet toss & I hope my future hubby will do a garter toss. He will probably be shy about it but I think its a fun thing for guests!

    I hate the toss. There were also no single woman at the wedding.

    I will be doing the bouquet toss! I'm going to make an extra smaller bouquet to toss so that I can keep mine.

    I don't want to do it but my FH does so I am making him a small bouquet and he is going to throw it. We are inviting everyone to try to catch it not just single guests.

    Skipping. We will have maybe 6 single women at our wedding and no children/teenage girls.

    No! As a single lady for so many years this was the most annoying thing when attending a wedding for me! We skipped this.

    I’m doing a toss, but we created a small toss bouquet! I’m sure not tossing my bouquet... they’re silk flowers but it’s still huge and heavy. I went to a wedding where the bride tossed her live flower bouquet, I caught it, and it almost took me out! I would suggest getting a smaller bouquet to toss. Hope this helps!

    Skip it. I hated being called out for them when I went to weddings, so I won't be doing it at ours.
