Is it OK to have a throw-away bouquet, or shall I just skip the bouquet toss altogether?
One of my bridesmaids has been egging me to toss my bouquet to the single female guests and it wasn't something I planned to do. I'm attaching my Nan's locket with my Grandad's artillery badge to my bouquet so they are there on my wedding day. I also planned to keep my bouquet with my wedding dress for when we plan to renew our vows. In a bid to please her I thought about making a throw-away bouquet but I now feel like that would be a scam and a lie as I'm not carrying the throw away bouquet down the aisle. My hubby-to-be is not doing a garter toss as he nor I are comfortable with anyone catching something that's been a few inches from my girly bits . We can't have a mother-son or father-daughter dance as his Mum is sadly deceased and and my Dad is disabled. Would it be OK to just scrap all four of these traditions? Thanks.

It's okay not to do any of the traditions. It's not mandatory. If you want to skip them, then go for it. Also, if you want to make your bridesmaid happy, it's okay to make a throw-away bouquet.

It's tricky, she's the only one keen on it. One of them would rather NOT have to fight for it and the other is too young to be worried about getting married!

Have you thought about telling her the reason you are planning on not throwing your bouquet? Maybe if you tell her, she'll stop egging you on about it.

I caught my niece's garter and never thought anything improper about it until just now. Thank you very much.
Also, the prospect of a fight breaking out among the bridesmaids as they wrestle for the bouquet is reason enough to have one to toss.
