Being The Wedding MC: Bridal Bouquet Fun

When a bride chooses her bridal bouquet, it it may not occur to her that any "activities" will come from it other than as something for the bride to hold. But the bridal bouquet can be the source of many amusing activities and meaningful gestures.

If the bride decides not to have a unity candle, but wants some gesture like it, she could have her bridal bouquet designed by putting together several small bouquets. At a suitable moment during the festivities, the wedding bouquet is "broken up" and various people might receive a portion, such as the mothers and grandmothers of the happy couple.

So, if the bride wants to hold onto onto her bridal bouquet during the wedding ceremony, but is amenable to have some fun with it at the festivities, there are a few options there as well. How about a dance connected with the bridal bouquet? This is silly, but fun. The wedding bouquet is displayed near the dance floor and the wedding guests must guess a flower that's part of the bouquet before they are allowed onto the dance floor. The first few guests might not have any difficulty as some flowers are very popular, like roses and tulips, but others might give the wedding guests trouble. It will be obvious, this cannot work if the wedding bouquet is all roses or some other single and obvious flower but for a traditional assorted floral bouquet, it works well.

When it is time for the bride to throw the bouquet, there are several options. Some brides elect not to hold onto their bouquet and just pull out a single flower out of it before flinging the whole arrangement during the bouquet tossing ceremony bunch of flowers set aside for tossing, and there are other choices too.

Are there a plenty of unattached women coming to the wedding? Maybe a single tossed bouquet is not adequate. Many brides these days are opting for something a little more fun. There are several alternatives, really.

One fashionable choice is to have the florist to arrange a few small bouquets and then bundle them to look like a single bouquet. They are bound lightly with a ribbon. When it is time for the ceremony of the tossing of the bouquet, the bride simply loosens the ribbon, and lobs the "bouquet" which is really a few small bouquets. That means several women will catch the bouquet, rather than just one.

Long before the big day the wedding emcee must discuss with the forthcoming bride exactly what ceremonies she would like to have in connection with the bridal bouquet. This should be agreed along with all the other duties the bridal couple want the wedding emcee to perform at the wedding reception.

Then it’s time to plan and organize for the role of wedding emcee.
