Any suggestions for tossing the bouquet?

I want something different. Not the traditional way of tossing the bouquet.





The more creative. The better! Thanks.

Any suggestions for tossing the bouquet?
Aim it at someones head...
Reply:I know of one bride who did a unique toss! Somehow, the florist tied the bouquet so it would easily come undone when the bride pulled on the ribbon while throwing it back. The roses in her bouquet flew apart, and every girl ended up with a flower! Another alternative is simply presenting each single girl/woman with a flower from your bouquet in front of everyone.





If all the women at the wedding are married or already engaged, you might consider tying a small pacifier to the bouquet and announcing to everyone that the rules are different and the one who catches the bouquet will be the next one to have a baby! I think that that's a really cute idea.





Good luck, hopefully this helps :)
Reply:My DJ suggested me this one:





All MARRIED couples get on the dance floor then the DJ in the middle of songs (like "Musical Chairs") will say "Couple married one day sit down" the bride and groom then take their chairs. Then the DJ ups the length to 2 years and so on so forth, until there is only one couple left, then Bride presents them the bouquet!





I've never seen this done but it's sounds unique!
Reply:I would have several mini bouquets and hold them as if there was only one bouquet. Then turn around and say ready 1 2 3 then toss each individual bouquet one after the other so there is a never ending stream of flowers being sent out. It looks like a waterfall effect and is great for the photographer to capture.
Reply:Hi. I was the MOH at a wedding where the girl made her bouquet out of small hand-tied bouquets.. so there was like 10 small bouquets of 5-7 flowers.. just before the toss was announce she unraveled the ribbon , the announced the toss, the music played and she tossed it ... and everyone when scrambling.





I'm getting married this July and I'm thinking about not doing the traditional bouquet toss but to ask all the couples married to come on the dance floor... then have the DJ eliminate different groups 1-3yrs, 3-5.. etc. until the couple who is married the longest is remaining and give them the bouquet.





I'm also doing something kinda different -- I'm going to do the traditional dance w/my dad... However, I'm the only daughter born to the sons (ie my dad's brothers) so I'm going to ask for his brothers to all come up (there's only 3 left) and the dj will play a song and each will dance w/me ... the dj will tell them when to cut in. During my thank you speech I will give special thanks for my special uncles who have always been there for me... they are like my 2nd dads... my dad is totally happy with this. I'm going to give each of them a special token like a keychain or something.
Reply:Have one of your (married)friends hide the bouquet somewhere in a controlled area. Let 'em scrambled for it. Better yet, auction or raffle it off. Tell them it's to pay the bar tab!
Reply:The mini bouquets seem to be more and more popular as time goes on. There really aren't any alternative ways that come to mind, but I do like the idea of just giving each person a flower or bouquet. However, depending on the size of your guest list, this could be more trouble than its worth. I have some ideas now. . . . You could do some sort of scavenger hunt, with a few clues leading to where the bouquet is hidden, some mission impossible theme music as the backdrop. Or a quiz show with questions about you and your groom, maybe with some jeopardy music playing in the background. You could have various little activites going on throughout the reception up until the time you wan to do the "bouquet toss" and whoever has racked up the most points wins.





There are tons of alternative possibilities, but, no matter what you chose, it will be fun. Even if you decide to stick with tradition. People continue doing it over and over for a reason. Good luck and congrats. :-)

I refuse to line up only the single women, like cattle to the slaughter house, so anyone (female) who wants can participate.





Another suggestion would be to ask your florist, they've done many weddings and might have some ideas.
