I'm not throwing flowers.. or having a garter! I think the garter thing is awkward and that if we eliminate the garter, then the throwing flowers thing is also pointless haha
I am not throwing my bouquet. If you are going to do it, though, I would get a second set.
You can throw your flowers later in the night and still be able to have them in photos before the reception. BUT, I got a small "throw" bouquet which was a smaller version of my bouquet so I could keep mine after the wedding.
You could also look at making a fake throw away one yourself. They can actually look really nice.
I am also not doing the throwing of the flowers or the garter.
If you do want to do it, I suggest getting a second bouquet or get a bunch of single flowers and throw them at the same time.
If you want to throw, I'd throw something other than your bouquet. A fake second set makes the most sense to me.
I'm not doing a bouquet toss, though. I hated it for the year or so when we were verging on engaged and it doesn't really fit the vibe I'm going for w/ our wedding.
Option 4: Not throwing flowers at all. There won't be enough single women to make it worthwhile.
I vote option four...not throwing anything. I am not doing a bouquet toss or doing the whole garter thing. It's two traditions I would not mind fading away.
I'm not sure if I want to do a bouquet toss. I'm one of the last ones to get married. So those that are left would really stand out and I would hate to put them on the spot.
I'm planning to throw my original bouquet. By the time I throw it, all the pictures will be completed. I also don't really like the idea of having a smaller "throwing" bouquet.
My florist will make a "throwaway bouquet" with what's left after all of our flowers are made. But I'm leaning toward no bouquet toss. Instead, I like the idea of giving the bouquet to a woman who's been married the longest or something like that.
I think I'm going to throw my bouquet... but later in the night after I'm done with photos (maybe right before my photographer leaves and calls it a night). That is... unless one of my bridesmaids will let me throw theirs instead. Maybe I'll see if my sister will let me use her bridesmaid bouquet. Is that mean?
I'll get a separate one so that I can keep my bouquet..since it's going to be silk I think i'll display it in a vase somewhere in our new home!
I'm getting the florist to do a "toss" bouquet... a much smaller version of my bouquet. I'm the first of my friends to get married, so there will be lots of single bridesmaids and friends that could catch it and keep it :)
I am ordering enough flowers for me to make a second (smaller) boquet for me to toss!
I am not throwing my bouquet as in my experience, they are just awkward and embarrassing for some guests (of course this depends on your guests). But, if I HAD to toss a bouquet, I'd have a second one made just for that purpose.
I'm not tossing either the garter or flowers. But talk to your florist, a lot of them that we met with included it in their package. Luckily we didn't want it so we traded it for something else.
