Toss Bouquet

I am doing the bouquet toss. Skipping garter dance. I will just hand him a garter and he will throw it

I'm not doing one but you could always go to Michaels, for example, and buy one of their pre-maxe $10 bouquets for the toss

I saw an alternative where you combine the anniversary dance and boquet/garter toss. So the married couples come out and the dj lists years and if their year is called the leave (1, 3,5 etc.) and the couple married the longest gets the garter and boquet

We are not doing this. I agree I don't like dragging people onto the floor for this type of thing.

You could make a very cheap bouquet from the dollar store! And I am doing a garter toss on a football because future hubby played football ❤️💐🏈

You can definitely do a toss bouquet of flowers with some flowers that fit your color scheme. Inexpensive and crafty idea get them from the Dollar tree or craft store and bind with pretty ribbon.

I am having our florist make a toss bouquet. Since your bouquet is made from wood flowers, and I’m sure you want to keep it, I would suggest making a toss bouquet with fake flowers from a craft store.

In the past, couples didn't wait until the honeymoon to consummate their marriage. They would often do the deed right after saying "I do," which came as no surprise to their family members. The bouquet toss was used as a distraction, so she and the groom could...um...handle their business, while all the single ladies fought for the floral bunches. Tossing the garter also symbolized that the groom had made things official, as eager guests waited outside of the bedchamber for proof.

Most of my guests want me to do a bouquet toss and we love the silliness of it. I'm the first of my friends to get married so they're all plotting on how to catch it lol. I'm using Ling's Moment silk flowers for my real bouquet and found an inexpensive toss bouquet on Etsy or JJ's House.

You're not alone, I love it too

I'm going to make my own bouquet and have two pieces that are able to pull apart from the main bouquet. I will be giving a small space to my FH sisters and giving them each a piece of it because all my life I wish I had a sister and now I have two.
