The tossing of the bridal bouquet is an English custom and was believed to
be a way for the bride to pass along her good fortune to others. Bridal guests
would try and tear away pieces of the bride’s clothing and flowers in order to
obtain this fortune. And when they say fortune, they mean husband.
To stop ruining poor bride’s pricey gown, the tradition was changed to her
tossing the bouquet into the crowd for a special lady to catch in hope that the
good fortune (husband) would be transferred and boom! She will be the next in
line to marry. Because that’s all there is to life, right? Marriage.
