When to throw the bouquet?

findthecolour, 9 June, 2012 at 20:18 Posted on Planning 0 10

I get married at church at 1:30pm.

Photos outside the church from 2-3pm.

Travel ~30 mins to reception venue and welcome drinks until 4:20pm.

Speeches 4:30pm for 30 mins

Wedding breakfast 5-7pm

Evening guests arrive 7:30pm

Cut cake followed by first dance 8pm

....when do I throw the bouquet?!?!?!

    I didn't throw my bouquet but with your timings I'd do it during your welcome drinks.

    Or ask your venue or TOG what they suggest maybe?

    Perhaps when people start gathering round for your first dance?

    I threw the BM's bouquet as it was the same as mine but smaller - don't think anyone noticed either. We did it after the first dance as there were more single ladies in the evening.

    I thought the traditional time to throw the bouquet was when the bride and groom leave the party 'off on their honeymoon' - so I guess nowadays would be nearer the end of the night -my sis did it a bit before her and her hubby left the evening reception, so I'll probably do the same, so right near the end of the night!

    I really like this idea.

    I definitely won't be throwing my own bouquet - I just need to figure out which of my BMs will have to sacrifice theirs Smiley winking

    Hi. I threw a fake bouquet (from dunelm!) We cut the cake which was displayed on the dance floor and then was removed whilst i went outside to throw the bouquet then we went back in for our first dance.
