Sacramento Wedding Florist- Don’t toss that bridal bouquet!

Nov 9, 2010   //   by Shannon   //   Blog  //  3 Comments

I am waiting on pictures from our amazing 2010 wedding season.  Um, hello?  Do you hear me all my lovely photographer friends?  Love you, Love your show.  xoxoxox

So in the meantime, I thought we could answer a question that has been plaguing brides everywhere:

What is a toss bouquet?

A toss bouquet is a small cluster of flowers made to resemble the bridal bouquet.

Why do I need a toss bouquet?

If you are planning in taking part of the tradition of tossing the bridal bouquet to “all the single ladies” you will NEED a toss bouquet. Because:

*Your actual bridal bouquet is going to be waaaay to big and too heavy to be throwing at people.  The average bridal bouquet is about 8-12 inches across and weighs 2-5LBS.  So if a bridal bouquet weighing 3.8LBS was thrown at approximately 10MPH with an arc of….forget it.  Just don’t throw heavy things at people.

*You might want to keep or preserve your actual bridal bouquet.

*Your actual bridal bouquet might have elements you would like to save.  Special ribbon, pins, brooches and crystals can all act as lasting keepsakes.

* Some florist will “throw” in the toss bouquet for free.

    Haha great post. Can’t you just buy a fake bouquet to throw instead of your seasonal flower bouquet? The person who catches it will get to keep it then and you could preserve your original bouquet.
