Q: My fiance and I are pretty much the last of our friends to get married. I really don’t want to do a garter/bouquet toss because our guest list consists of mostly couples. What is an innovative alternative?
A: You are not alone. Many couples opt against the traditional garter/bouquet toss. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to consider.
- Some brides decide to present the bouquet to their mother during a heart felt thank you speech.
- If there is an engaged couple in attendance, some brides decide to pass on the bouquet to the bride-to-be.
- Do an anniversary dance. This is when the DJ or band plays a song and all couples dance. The emcee calls out years and couples leave the dance floor according to the number of years they’ve been together. The couple standing at the end who have been together the longest is the one you can present your bouquet to. {maybe even include a bottle of wine!}
You can still wear a garter under your dress if you’d like, but save the removal for your wedding night and to have as a keepsake!
