The Bouquet Toss FAQ

How many songs should I play for the bouquet toss?

Only one song is needed for the bouquet toss. If you’re torn between two (or a few!) you can splice them up into a unique compilation.

How long does a bouquet toss take?

The bouquet toss can take anywhere from five to ten minutes, depending on how long guests will gather. The length of tunes to accompany the event can be determined by deciding if the music should begin singing as everyone gathers or after they’ve been assembled.

When does the bouquet toss take place?

It usually takes place at the end of the evening during the second half of the reception. It is preceded by the cutting of the cake and followed by the garter toss.

What does tossing the bouquet mean? Why does a bride throw her bouquet?

There is a tradition that dates back to the 1800s (and possibly earlier). Some women thought touching the bride (or even taking a gown she was wearing) would bring them good luck. This can be scary if you think about it.

It would be better to toss your bouquet to the other women as she prepared to make her getaway (better to lose your flowers than your dress?)

Nowadays, it’s just a fun way to get all the single girls on the dance floor. Some people still believe that catching the bouquet will bring them good luck.

How much does a toss bouquet cost?

Depending on your total floral package, this will vary. Make your florist make you a smaller (less expensive) bouquet that can be used to tossing. You can also keep your wedding costs down by buying some flowers at your local grocery store a few days before your wedding. You can make a simple toss bouquet for about $10.

Here is a video on making your own bouquet using store-bought flowers (you can also use fake flowers from places like Etsy):

Does the girl who catches the bouquet keep it?

Yes, the girl who catches the bouquet gets to keep it. If you want to keep the original bridal bouquet, you may need a toss bouquet to throw to the girls.

Is the bouquet toss necessary?

No, not at all. Just like any other wedding tradition, if you don’t want to do it, leave it out.

Guests will not care at all.

What are some alternatives to the bouquet toss?

If you want to replace the bouquet toss with a different tradition consider the anniversary dance.

If you love the idea of doing something with just the girls but don’t want to toss the bouquet, consider a dance where you invite only the girls to the dance floor and play something like “Love O n Top” by Beyoncé or “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston

Is it bad luck to catch the bouquet?

The tradition was that whoever caught the bouquet or garter would be the next to get married. So unless you are really against marriage, no, catching the bouquet is not considered bad luck.
