What is the reason for the bride to throw her flower bouquet?

it used to be superstition that anyone who got something from the bride would have good fortune in finding a mate (thus who catches it gets married next)


People used to chase the bride and groom to try to take something form her (like pieces of dress etc.) so brides got smart and threw their boquet to distract the people.





also it considered good luck at finding a mate if you stole the brides stockings so people would try to steel them as well, the garter was used to hold up the stockings and brides would throw the garter to distract them as well. thus comes the garter toss.





The luck of the bride also comes in with the someting new, old, borrowed, and blue. the something borrowed is suposed to be something from a bride with a successful marriage so that the luck would be passed on to the new bride.





GodBless!

There's no sense keeping it - at that time of the night, the flowers have pretty much bitten the dust. Whomever catches it will be married next.
