To Throw or Not to Throw the Bouquet?!

The Wedding Bouquet … Throw it or keep it?

We asked our followers, are you throwing or keeping your bouquet? Out of over 50 people the result was clear, WE ARE KEEPING IT!

Have you ever wondered why we even throw a bouquet though?

Throwing or tossing the bouquet has been a wedding tradition for hundreds of years, but it actually started from a slightly different tradition. That tradition was to try and take pieces of the brides dress or flowers in hope that some of her fortune would be passed on. I guess, thankfully ladies, that tradition moved to throwing of the bouquet in later years. Way back when, the bride would actually throw her bouquet and make a dash for the exit. No first dance and no party!!!

As an entertainment business we always love special moments during weddings. Special moments throughout your day are what you and your guests will take away as wedding memories which we can hopefully help you create.

I want to create memories, but I still want to keep the Bouquet!!
Here are some suggestions if you still want to keep it, but you like the idea of throwing it too.

Ask your florist for 2 bouquets, a main one and a smaller tossing one. Skelmersdaleflowercentre offer this service

Make a lovely moment of it.
- You could hand your bouquet over to someone special

- Present it privately to someone dear to you
Have fun with it. It makes for amazing photos that are usually fun to look back on!
Throwing your bouquet after your evening food (buffet) is a great way to inject energy back into the room and fill the dance floor.

The throwing of your bouquet may or may not be for you, now after reading our mini blog, who knows you may do both and keep your main one and throw a smaller one.

Whatever you decide just like most things with your wedding, the bouquet toss is of personal preference, we just hope we’ve helped by giving you some possible options.

You do what’s best for you and happy Wedding planning.
