bridal bouquet

Ceremony hand arrangement

A bridal bouquet is the arrangement of flowers carried by a bride during her wedding ceremony.

Traditionally tossed to unmarried female guests at the reception, with the catcher supposedly next to marry: She caught the bridal bouquet.

The flowers chosen often carry symbolic meaning—white roses for purity, lilies for devotion.
