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 Some brides are so over this outdated tradition, and don't want to drag out all their single friends onto the dance floor while "single ladies" plays.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

    Haven't decided what to do yet...Almost all the women coming to my wedding are married, the ones that aren't are under the age of 10 so catching the bouquet means different things to the single women vs. the little girls.

    Totally cancel. What a waste of a beautiful bouquet even if you get a smaller fake one. It’s also not cool to single out your single friends. I’ve seen it done and was never impressed. Plus seeing adults fight of it looks lame.

    We are asking everyone to get out there (married, single, dudes and chicks) and tossing both our bouquets at once... whoever catches them will receive good luck 🍀

    I actually found a cute idea on Pinterest that I really want to do, so if I throw my bouquet I might not get it back and won't be able to do the idea. In the long run, if I don't decide to do the idea, I will probably throw the bouquet.

    We are doing bouquet tossing, garter tossing, unity sand and jumping the broom. No father daughter dance because both of our fathers are deceased. The only official dance will be our first dance.

    Keeeeeeep. It’s one of the traditions I think hasn’t worn thin yet. I think people look forward to this moment and most of the guest list isn’t married

    We are skipping this! While super fun and I half wish we were doing this, we are skipping. Most of the females in attendance are married, engaged etc. Plus we also wanted to save money and not have to get a toss bouquet.

    Keep! The bride should choose and if you don’t want to participate then don’t. I participated in one and now I get to do one.
