Bouquet tossingatweddingsis a long-standing tradition that honors couples single friends and wishes them luck in finding love.
They would also be scented with rosewater to mask the unpleasant smells that were common in crowded churches.
Some of them would go too far, trying to take pieces of her dress as keepsakes.
To fend them off, the bride would toss the flowers and run.
Head designer and founder ofApril & Fritz, Bree Michaelas, also strongly advises against interrupting such a tradition.
Weddings are deeply personal events, and the traditions chosen reflect the couples values and wishes.
Besides intervening with this tradition on purpose, there are also other ways that this moment can go wrong.
To combat this potential problem, verify the bouquet is designed for throwing.
This is commonly done, especially because some brides want to save their real bouquet, Samuels mentions.
However, Samuels says that these scenarios arent that common.
More likely, awkward scenarios might ensue.
This sometimes leads to embarrassment and even injuries.
If youre not sure how it will go over, my advice is when in doubt, go without.
