Bouquet and Toss Bouquet

View Quoted Comment It’s up to you! My mom always did fresh flowers, but I’m sure you could easily also do it with fake flowers.

View Quoted Comment If I wasn’t allergic I’d do fresh. I don’t want to risk sneezing and coughing everywhere lol that might not be good.

I’m not doing a toss. Keeping my bouquet to preserve it. Plus, when I was single I hated the bouquet toss/garter toss so I’m not putting my single friends through that. Just what I’m doing.

View Quoted Comment Thank you Sara! Where’d you get yours from?

Etsy has some nice faux flower options. I have also had luck with getting pretty faux flower arrangements for the house at local craft stores, Micheals & Joanns. Lings also has an amazon shop, gorgeous but a little pricier. Good luck!

I found these already made at Michael's and so the larger one is taking like 3 and combining them.

View Quoted Comment Oh nice!!! I’m going to have to go inside the store because when I checked their website I had no luck.

My florist includes a toss bouquet for "free" (florists are expensive, so I'm sure they recoup the cost elsewhere lol). I've also had brides use one of their bridesmaids' bouquets to toss. If one of your bridesmaids wouldn't mind you using theirs or one of them is from farther away and won't be able to take their bouquet with them you could definitely go that route.

I've only seen the anniversary dance done once, but I LOVE it, even if you're still planning to do a bouquet toss. Instead, the winning couple could be asked what their "secret" to staying together so long was or their best marriage advice. We're planning to do that after all the "formal" parts of the reception (first dance, father/ daughter dance, etc.) as a way to get people on the dance floor. We're asking our DJ to have everyone stand around the dance floor once they get called off so they don't go back to their seats. If anyone who doesn't participate wants to watch, they'll have to get up and join the crowd as well. That way everyone's right there to start dancing afterwards.

I’m buying a nice big cascading bouquet for myself off Etsy that’s made of wood flowers and it’s expensive so certainly not tossing it. I would get another cheap one if I wanted to do a toss. Etsy has so many people who make bouquets for cheap. But we have almost no single people coming so it’s not worth doing the whole thing

View Quoted Comment I like that idea! I think it’s really neat and like you said it gives everyone the opportunity to get on the dance floor. Thanks a lot Paige!

View Quoted Comment I’ve tried Etsy, I just didn’t have luck with the colors I was looking for. Or if I did it wouldn’t be here in time. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the wood flowers before though, sounds really nice. What color is it?

We didn’t do a bouquet toss. But that is a smart idea to have two.

View Quoted Comment I found two on Amazon that I like but I might jus get one and use that same one to give away.
