To toss the bouquet, or not to toss? 💐 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 Some brides are so over this outdated tradition, and don't want to drag out all their single friends onto the dance floor while "single ladies" plays.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?

    Cancel because I don't care for the garter toss and they go hand in hand together and i don't want to put people through that, it can be embarrassing.

    We skipped this. We didn't have any single ladies so it wouldn't have made any sense to do it.

    Cancel. I don't have enough single ladies that are invited... I'd feel bad to have the 2 or 3 stand up there. We are also canceling the garter toss, it's a bit icky and too sexual for my taste, and the men that will be there are kinda awkward lol

    I vote keep it.. its fun.. but also know your crowd. If you don't have unmarried people attending then do away. But at my wedding I have a bunch of unmarried guests (not necessarily single but unmarried). I caught the bouquet at my best friends wedding 5 months before I got engaged. It was fun!

    KEEP ! I caught the bouquet at a wedding and was engaged a few months later and although I’m not superstitious at all, it was a nice funny thing to happen.

    Cancel, this is so outdated and the only song to play with this is "single ladies" by beyonce, so predictable and annoying

    Cancel!!! I don't want to do it at all nothing is worse than catty females in a toss. It's only cute when a child or young girl gets it.

    Cancel. I feel like that is a dumb tradition to say how long a marriage will last based on that display is ridiculous.

    HARD CANCEL. I find this demeaning and embarrassing. I've hated being singled out for a bouquet toss at past weddings and would not want to subject any other single ladies to this.

    Keeping, most of the people I know won't cause a scene and fight for it. Also I'm really hoping I can get it to my MOH, she's an amazing person and has been with her boo for three years, they're great together!! Smiley heart
