bouquet toss

Reception tradition with flowers

A bouquet toss is a wedding tradition in which the bride throws her flower arrangement over her shoulder toward a group of unmarried women.

Whoever catches it is said to be the next to marry.

The ritual has become more playful than prophetic: She caught the bouquet toss but stayed happily single for another decade.
