So a while back I talked about my little twist on the bouquet toss.

Well, I have no idea how many ladies (single or married, anything goes) will want to participate. And I won’t know until the emcee decides to call them up to the dance floor. Now, this rather fortunate uncertainty gives me the opportunity to buy a bunch of charms. If I have too many, guess who gets to keep them?

Yeeeep. I like this plan.

Let’s see what we’ve got…

Plumeria flowers…

Wedding rings…

Cameras, for all the family photographers in the crowd…

And airplanes, both because it’s a semi-destination wedding, and because they are just oh-so-very cute!

All the charms came from here.

I then waited until Michaels had their 60% off ribbon sale, where I bought a bunch of different patterns in red, white and black.

Using hot glue and some little bits of wire, I attached each charm to a three-foot long piece of ribbon.

I’ll hold as many ribbons to my bouquet as there are participants, and hide them under my hands. Only one ribbon will actually be tied to the flowers, so whoever picks and pulls that “lucky charm” will win! Win what? Why, my ridiculously expensive bouquet of course, which is no joke!

So what should the lucky charm be?

That sound fun, I would make the lucky charm the airplane because it is making the bouquet “fly”.

What if you found a charm that looked like a bouquet? Tie that to the bouquet!

I like this idea as I totally can relate to the lack of participation on the bouquet toss. I wonder if the single ladies will still come up for this though??

can you find a charm that is a sewing machine? I would have that be the lucky charm.

i like this idea! i plan on making a separate tossing bouquet [i'll be inviting a lot of people who really like this part] but i want to have it break apart into smaller bouquets with charms on them.

It’d be cool if you had a horseshoe for the lucky charm!

The wedding rings would be cool … or maybe a 4 leaf clover? Or something else considered “lucky.”

I really love this idea. So much better than a bouquet toss.

that is super cute! We did not do a bouquet toss or a garter toos. Alot of our family and friends were meeting up again for the first time so we just had everyone sit and chat but that is a wonderful idea
