The Guide to Having a Second Bouquet to Throw at Your Wedding
Why Have a Second Bouquet?
Tossing your bridal bouquet is a fun, time-honored tradition—but many brides want to keep their original bouquet as a keepsake or to preserve it after the wedding.
That’s where a second bouquet, often called a toss bouquet, comes in. It lets you enjoy the bouquet toss moment without sacrificing your main floral arrangement.
What Is a Toss Bouquet?
A toss bouquet is a smaller, simpler version of your bridal bouquet, designed specifically for the bouquet toss tradition.
It’s usually created to:
- Match or complement your main bouquet
- Be lightweight and easy to throw
- Hold up well to being tossed and caught
Florists often make these using leftover blooms or smaller flowers in your wedding palette.
Benefits of Having a Second Bouquet
- Keepsake Protection: You can preserve or display your original bouquet afterward.
- Convenience: The toss bouquet is easier (and safer!) to throw and catch.
- Cost-Effective: It’s typically smaller and inexpensive compared to your main bouquet.
- Personal Touch: You can customize it for fun—add charms, ribbons, or even a little note for the catcher.
Tips for Planning Your Toss Bouquet
- Ask your florist early.
Mention your toss bouquet when you first discuss floral arrangements. Most florists can create one easily and cost-effectively. - Coordinate styles.
Choose flowers that echo your main bouquet but are smaller in scale. You can even opt for silk flowers if you prefer something more durable. - Keep it handy.
Have your planner, maid of honor, or coordinator hand you the toss bouquet right before the bouquet toss. - Decide when to toss.
Traditionally, the bouquet toss happens during the reception after dinner and dancing have started. Choose a time when guests are relaxed and ready for some fun. - Make it memorable.
Consider playing an upbeat song, gathering all single guests, and adding a playful announcement to make the moment special.
What to Do With Your Main Bouquet
Once you’ve swapped in your toss bouquet, your main arrangement can:
- Be placed in a vase for display during the reception
- Saved for preservation or pressed flowers
- Used in post-wedding photos or kept as an heirloom
Florist Thoughts
Having a second bouquet is a simple, thoughtful way to enjoy tradition without compromise.
You’ll get to keep your beautiful wedding bouquet intact—and your guests will still have the fun and excitement of catching a bouquet full of love and luck.
