At wedding’s end, the bride tosses her bouquet to crowd of happy single gals, right? Often though, when a DJ turns up the Beyonce and puts out the call, eligible gals disappear into the woodwork.  When I was on bridesmaid duty, I always found that was a perfect time to sprinkle rose petals in the bridal suite. Honestly, unmarried women want nothing to do with this archaic tradition.

Fear not, Brides! You can ceremonially dispose of flowers without setting your single friends’ teeth on edge. Try this: instead of throwing your flowers at someone, which is a little hostile when you think about it, GIVE them to a lady (or gentleman – we don’t judge) wish to honor.  Grandma, Man of Honor, childhood best friend, you pick. We at MLFS even make you a “toss” bouquet so you can keep your own gorgeous bouquet for yourself!

I’m betting you have a guest who’d be thrilled with a special posy. And trust me, there are women who will be thrilled with not having their marital status paraded around the dance floor.

Be well, and love well.
