Real or Fake Toss Bouquet

All of our flowers are going to be artificial and that goes for the toss bouquet too! But even if you're having real flowers for everything else, I would still consider an artificial toss bouquet just to cut costs.

The only flowers at our wedding will be in my bouquet (my bridesmaids will not have bouquets). Our centerpieces are also just pine cones, evergreen tree branches, votive candles, and wood slices so I think a fake toss bouquet would be fine since most people know I think spending a ton of money on flowers is a little ridiculous. Haha

I've caught two bouquets, one fake and one real. The first one I caught was the fake one, and the only reason I kept it was because it was FH's sisters!! It was a big deal because FH and I were not engaged yet at this time. The tradition of "your next if you catch the bouquet" thing is sort of coming true! I say sort of because we had a long engagement and a few of her friends got married since then. If it was just a friend's bouquet, I would've kept it for a while and eventually thrown it away.

More recently, I caught a real bouquet at my cousins' wedding. The tradition of "your next" is actually coming true for this one too lol!! I didn't keep it past the 2 days it was nice, but I did LOVE the real one. I carried it around with me all night at the after party. It smelled SO good.

The moral of my long story is that you really can't go wrong either way

My throw bouquet was real but it was much smaller than my real bouquet & mostly greenery, so it was a lot cheaper!

I didn't have a throw bouquet, but if I did it would've been real like the rest of the flowers! That way they can just die and be thrown away (I'm not sentimental when it comes to flowers)

Instead of throwing the bouquet I’m handing out single roses to each dingle girl at the wedding (there’s only a handful of them) and I’m giving a special flower, not sure which yet to our daughter and our Two nieces

I guess it depends on if the person who catches the bouquet is all that sentimental about it. For example, I’m not. So whether real or fake flowers, I’d toss it in the trash after the wedding. But that’s just me. I don’t like having random “stuff“ just to take up space. Also I don’t view a toss bouquet is being sentimental because it’s kind of a superstition.

Lol this makes sense!! i decided on artificial flowers for everything specifically for this reason. bouquets and decorations. i wanted my bouquet and i know my bridal party did as well. i bought my toss bouquet off etsy. it was a little pricey. you could def make your own from flowers at michaels for a very good price. buy some twine or burlap to wrap around the handle and voila!

I had an extra bouquet that I used to toss.

It's personal preference. Most people who catch the bouquet don't keep it. They know that real flowers will die eventually and toss them when they do.
