The bridal bouquet toss tradition goes back to 14th century France where it was believed that a bride was especially lucky on her wedding day. After the ceremony guests would try to tear a piece of fabric from the brides dress for luck. For a brief time, in an effort to stop the attacks on the bride, the bride would throw her stockings or garter. Eventually tossing the bouquet became widely used. It is said that the person who catches the bouquet is next to marry.
Most brides choose to keep their own bouquet and have a smaller one as the toss bouquet.
Some brides completely opt out of this tradition,
while others prefer to hand the bouquet to a honoured guest.
