When are you supposed to throw the bouquet?
WEDDING BLOG CATEGORIES
Flowers express love, romance, kindness, and affection. That’s why they are so bloody good for weddings!
Traditionally flowers were used in a bouquet to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, as well as to mask body odour. Back in the day brides were considered lucky, so guests would try to grab something belonging to her to improve their luck. To make her escape, the bride threw her bouquet into the crowd. This is where the tradition of throwing the bouquet is thought to have originated.
If you wish to throw the bouquet, do it at the Reception. (Make sure you have taken enough photos of it first!) Wait until the party is in full swing, the drinks are flowing, and your guests are up and dancing, but don’t leave it too late. Your MC can let everyone know it is time for the bouquet toss.
