One popular one for the bouquet toss is 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce. I am personally not doing those but I love that song and get excited @ weddings during this time because they play that song
We only had a bouquet toss (and only had that because it came free with our floral order!) and we used Beyonce for that. The only thing I can think of for the garter removal/toss would be the stripper and that seems not very pc!
I'm not doing either but I was just at a wedding last weekend. I can't remember what she did for the bouquet toss but she had all the guys down on 1 knee singing "You've Lost that Loving Feeling".
We will also most likely be using Single Ladies for the bouquet toss and not sure about the garter toss yet. When it gets closer to I am sure we will decide.
I'm doing the theme song from Sex and the City - the MOVIE. it's instrumental and just the perfect amount of time I think Garter toss - I have no clue either! Hoping the DJ can give us some suggestions
For garter - Black Keys "Howlin for You" for bouquet toss - ???. I don't want to do Single Ladies because I'm sick of that song (seriously no offense intended - it was just overplayed).
Bouquet - Can't Hurry Love (the Phil Collins cover, b/c admittedly, I loves me some Phil!)
Garter - You're the Best Around (yep, the Karate Kid theme song! My DH is a nerd. We almost went with Eye of the Tiger, but he was obsessed with the Karate Kid movies when he was little, so nothing else really stood a chance.)
Having been around/involved in a ton of weddings we made sure "Single Ladies" was on our DO NOT PLAY list. Everyone everyone everyone uses it. I'd say do what ever you'd like though! There are lots of other fun songs for it! "Girls just wanna have fun" or just basic music!
12/17/86 - "Once upon a time...."
10/08/11 - "Happily ever after..."
We did "Single Ladies" for our bouquet toss cause I didn't really put a whole lot of effort into thinking about a song. My toss bouquet was free. So, I figured we might as well use it.
For the garter toss we did the "Theme Song from Mission Impossible" it was hilarious and totally worked out well. My dress was also huge because I had a hoop, so my now husband (!!) could actually pretty much go underneath and grab the garter and nothing showed for anyone.
For the bouquet we did "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and for the garter we used David Rose's "The Stripper". It was hilarious becasue it is so not us. The DJ even got a kick out of it. Here is a link to the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YdMaZRVUU8
