1. The Bouquet Toss : Why do we throw flowers at a wedding?

What is the bouquet toss at a wedding? The bouquet toss is a wedding tradition where a bride throws her flowers over her shoulder into a group of single guests. The person who “catches the bouquet” is meant to receive good fortune and luck from the bride. The lucky person who catches the bouquet is assumed to be the next to walk down the aisle themselves, or in some cases to get engaged. So where did this come from? Why did it start, how has it evolved today, and should you include it in your wedding? Jessica and Sari dive into the tradition all the way from the start to explain where it came from, how it has changed throughout the years, tips and tricks for pulling off the bouquet toss the savvy way, and alternatives you can think about if you decide to toss the bouquet toss all together!
