I wanted to throw my actual wedding bouquet but everyone is telling me not too..... get a throw away one. The throw one is actually free from my florist but I was thinking of letting the flower girl carry that one and I'll throw my nice big one. What are you suppose to do with your bouquet? I am not much into dried flowers and I don't want to pay a ton of money to perserve it. And if you do perserve it, what do you do with it?? I thought that traditionally back in the day that people threw the actual bouqet and the throw away one is more of a modern traditions. Anyone know??

Do what you want. Who wants an old dried up boquet anyhow. Needless to say they are heavy and I was sick to death of carring mine around. Now that I think about it, I think I set it on some table and just left it at the hall....See I could have put it to better use throwing it.

It is tradition to throw the actual bouquet. The other one is a new thing because so many women hated to give away such a beautiful, expensive bouquet. If you don't like dried flowers, I'm sure that whoever gets your bouquet will love it. Many women display the preserved ones in a glass case. It's really up to you, but yes, the throwing the big bouquet is tradition.

You have so many answers to this question, I admit I didn't read them all(sorry if I repeat) Weddings are all about traditions,The bride throws her bouquet to the single women to wish them "the next bride" When you throw a "toss bouquet", it has not really been part of your ceremony. If you want to persevere it (VERY EXPENSIVE ) then keep it and get it to a specialized florist that has the equipment to preserve it.Your bouquet will never look as lovely as that day. Take a lot of pictures and throw it away

If you really want to throw your carry bouquet get a bouquet with a corsage insert.. Typically the center of the bouquet can be designed to slip out and become a coursage which you can then keep for yourself after throwing your carry bouquet....

I would however suggest getting a throwing bouquet as you will likely want to keep your bouquet...

To preserve your bouquet hang upside down in a cool dark place for several weeks then spray with clear coat varnish when entirely dry..

You can place your bouquet on a shelf/ mantel with your wedding picture and other memoribilia of your wedding... You can place in a vase as a dried flower arrangement n your home.. Or you can seal in an air tight bag and preserve as memoriabelia...

There are two things you could do. #1 Keep your flowers and dry them as a reminder of your day. #2 Throw your flowers and let someone else think of your wedding, and dream about there wedding to come. The real tradition is to throw the wedding bouquet. BUT.... to day things change ! ! ! The best thing to do is what your heart tells you. Don't FORGET this is your day, not every one Else's. Wish you the best and good luck.

I had a throw- away one for my wedding in April. My actual wedding bouquet was eventually tossed in the garbage. So if you want to save money and don't plan on saving your bouquet, go ahead and toss it! Sounds like a good idea to give the toss bouquet to the flower girl.
The only thing that may change your mind is if you decide to have a cascading bouquet. Cascade bouquets aren't really meant for tossing because they are difficult to catch.
Good luck! Do what you want, its your wedding!

People usually do throw a throwaway one, but it's your wedding and you know what you want to do, like you said, you don't want to keep your bouquet so I don't see a problem with you throwing your actual one. I think it will create more of an interest with the single women who will be catching it, and I think it has a more personal touch.
The throwaway is a more modern tradition, just go with what you want, like I said it is your wedding. Have a wonderful day. :)

No, you don't have to throw your large one, that's not the tradition. In fact, these days the most popular style is a hand-tied bouquet, and those tend to be really heavy so I would advise not to throw that one. Your florist might be able to make a smaller toss-bouquet that you can incorporate into your larger one and then separate them during the reception.

Okay so here is what I think you should do. You should keep your bouquet (the one ou walk down the aisle with) and then get two fake ones. One of the fake ones can be for the flower girl, and the other can be for you to trhow away. But get a small one for the flower girl and get a medium sized one for you to throw away. And the largest is going to be the one that you walk down the isle with. Then after the wedding, have a vase at your table in the reception(the table you will be sitting at) and put the large boquet in the vase. Then after everythings over take it home. Or if you leave to go on your honeymoon or go to your honeymoon suite to wait to leave, give the large one to your mother or your best friend or something. But that is only if you leave before the reception is over. If you stay until the bery end, then I suggest you take that vase home. and put fresh water in it. Thanks for asking my opinion, and Congratulations.

It is your wedding and you should be allowed to do whatever you wish with you bouquet! Throw the real one if that is what you wish to do, and just tell everyone to mind their own business. Weddings are stressful enough on the bride trying to get everything organized without a bunch of busy bodies interfering!

If you arent into preserving it then i would throw the big one. I know some people that want to preserve it they throw the other and then pay to have the other done for keeping. But If taking pictures and all that with and of it is good for you then i would throw it. I had a silk flower one due to allergies so i didnt have to worry about drying it out but i also had great pictures of it so throwing wasnt a big deal :)
