Should you still do a bouquet and garter toss?

We’re seeing fewer and fewer couples doing bouquet and garter tosses during receptions. Why is this? Is it going out of style? We’re going to break it down for you and give you some dope alternatives.

Single people don’t want to be singled out, (see what we did there)

It’s true! Weddings can already be an awkward event for someone who doesn’t have a significant other, especially during the slow dances. (My cue to hit the bar). Calling them out onto the floor and putting the spotlight on them and their relationship status can be equally awkward.

Most couples want a memento from their special day

You don’t pay hundreds of dollars for a beautiful flower arrangement just to be thrown away! There are a ton of alternatives if you still want to do a bouquet toss but don’t want to toss your bouquet. If you are leaning against having a bouquet or garter toss or want to have a toss but want to keep your bouquet, here are some rad options that you can try…

Anniversary Dance

Anniversary dances are always a good time because it gets your guests involved! This can be a beautiful moment to celebrate many years of marriage. You may even see some tears in the audience! 

Glass Bouquet

This is a newer trend that we are here for! You put a bouquet, garter, or gift in a glass box (it can be plastic too, just make sure it is see-through) and lock the box with a lock that has a key. While your guests are walking in, hand out different keys to each guest. The guest that has the matching key gets to keep the gift!

Breakaway Bouquet

Breakaway Bouquets are specially designed to break apart when they are thrown. This gives the opportunity for more than one guest to be a part of the fun!

Whatever you choose to do we’re here to party with you and make the day rad. Bouquet toss or no bouquet toss, garter toss or no garter toss, your day is about you and your partner and the life you have ahead of you.
