What's the point of a "toss" bouquet?!

I hate flowers - always have. I am doing non-floral centerpieces and the ONLY reason we are having bridal/bridesmaid bouquets is to keep my mom happy. I don't care to preserve any bouquet so I just want to toss mine... but people are looking at me crazy saying I "have to" get a separate toss...

Did any of you actually toss your own bouquet??? Am I alone here?

    If you wish to preserve your bouquet your wedding planner, if you have one, can take the bouquet and send it to the company. My sister did that with hers and it turned out beautifully. As for the toss bouquet usually the florist throws in a smaller bouquet to use as the toss bouquet and it shouldn't cost you anything.

    We aren't doing a bouquet toss, so no need for a toss bouquet, obviously. Like pp said though, Bridal bouquets can be heavy. What about giving it to the longest-married couple instead of a bouquet toss?

    I plan to root the roses in mine, so we can plant them in our yard.

    I tossed my bouquet and I'm glad-- I knew I'd be tempted to preserve it or something, which would have gotten serious side-eye from DH. Plus, the woman who caught it *really* wanted to be married (she even had a pic of the engagement ring she wanted in her purse!). I don't think it helped it her out in that department, but I was glad she had it.

    My sister used my bridesmaid bouquet for her toss. I told her I wasn't gonna bring it back to Denver on a plane so she should use it for the tossing Smiley smile

    We are not throwing a bouquet or garter (I always found the whole single girls come on down uncomfortable at weddings I have attended).

    I'm tossing my bouquet! If I didn't....I'd sell it anyway!

    Mine would NOT work for tossing. It really just depends on what kind of bouquet you have
