Alternatives To Tossing Your Bouquet
Adapted from an Article Written by Mary Ritzo, Killeen, TX
While some brides enjoy the tradition of tossing their bouquets to eager crowds of female guests, others like to do something a little different with the flowers that they carry on their wedding days. Here are some ideas for those of you who might not wish to see your bouquet get "lost in the crowd" during your Myrtle Beach area wedding...
1. Oldies But Goodies - Ask your DJ to play a song which speaks of lifetime commitment (ex. "Through The Years" by Kenny Rogers or "Still the One" by Shania Twain) and to invite all married couples to dance as the song plays. Your DJ will ask all couples married less than five years to step off the dancefloor, then all couples married less than ten years to step off the dancefloor, and so on. The couple who has been married the longest amount of time receives the bouquet.
2. An Act Of Kindness - Phone a hospital or nursing home that might benefit from having your bouquet displayed in a dayroom and ask if you may donate your flowers for this purpose. Arrange to have a member of your wedding party drop off your bouquet after the festivities.
3. In Memory Of - Place your bouquet in a beautiful vase, and put it on your guest book table with a photograph of a deceased loved one and a lighted candle next to it.
4. Unsung Hero - Choose a person (other than the someone in your bridal party) who has been a great help to you during the planning of your wedding in Myrtle Beach. At your reception, make a speech explaining how special that person is to you and present the flowers to her afterwards. (Make sure your photograph gets a picture of this touching moment.)
5. Sharing The Beauty With Others - Donate your bouquet to be displayed during the weekly services at your house of worship.
