The Bouquet Toss is no ordinary wedding planning podcast. So many couples seem to be seeking permission to plan their weddings on their own terms. We’re not here to tell you what to do or force any outdated rules upon you. Instead, we’re diving into the history behind the many varied wedding traditions and trends, to share options and resources that will help you decide what to keep and what to toss from your wedding day plans. We believe you should have your day, your way and our goal is to help empower you to plan a wedding celebration that feels authentic to you!
