To toss the bouquet, or not to toss? ๐Ÿ’ That is the divisive question! Some brides are so over this outdated tradition, and don't want to drag out all their single friends onto the dance floor while "single ladies" plays. Other brides can't imagine it feeling like a wedding without this classic and fun custom!

Which side of the bouquet debate are you on? Keep or cancel?

    That depends on my guests, if I have enough single ladies at my wedding, then maybe.

    Definitely cancel! I hated it when I was single and won't subject my single friends to it either.

    Cancel. We didnโ€™t do that or the garter toss. Most of my friends were married anyway. Honestly with everything else at the reception, we barely had time to just relax or even take more photos.

    Cancel. I can think of 4 single women invited to the wedding and only 2 are outgoing enough to want to do it. I'm sure they won't miss it

    Keep. I think itโ€™s fun tradition. Nothing too serious tho. I think some people really look forward to it though

    Keep. I would have all the women be a part of it, not just the single ladies.

    Cancel! Iโ€™ve always thought it was demeaning towards singles. All fighting over a bouquet to be the one who gets married next. As if being single is so horrible and/or EVERYONE wants to get married. Hilarious when women just kind of watch it fall to the ground and someone slowly scoops it up. I also donโ€™t want my FH reaching up my skirt in front of my dad! (Neither does he, lol!) Weโ€™ll just do something fun like the shoe game Smiley smile

    I've caught the bouquet at almost every single wedding I've been to as an adult ๐Ÿคฃ needless to say, I hardly have any single friends left. Cancel.

    Keeping. I'm going to have two bouquets, one from the florist that I'm going to be keeping and then one that I make from dollar store flowers to toss. I think this tradition is too much fun to not do.

    Cancel, we're into our 30's and not many of our friends/family are still single. I wouldn't want to point out the ones that are.

    Cancel... not into it... and I'd rather not distract from dancing time for some orchestrated toss!

    Cancel, considering most of my guests are either already married or not keen on getting married themselves.
