A Fun Wedding Tradition With Flowers and Greens

You probably know much about the wedding traditions here in the Philippines. Your family presumably told you to wear a white dress with veil, do the money dance, not seeing the bride before the wedding, not to forget the candle, cord, Aras, and of course, wedding ring.

With all these traditions, there’s one that evokes excitement during the reception program —tossing the bouquet. We are, of course, talking about how a bride flings her bouquet over her shoulder at all single ladies who eagerly, sometimes all too shy, catch it. These ladies try to get their angle just right behind the bride to assure when they reach out their hands, the lovely bouquet lands in their possession.

In the old time it was thought that if one touches the bride, one will have good luck. This, of course, causes discomfort and invasion of the bride’s privacy since guests would typically stand around her in an attempt to rip the gown off or get pieces of the bride’s accessories. Sounds terrifying, isn’t it?

Over the years, tossing bouquets turned into a tradition to pass the bride’s good fortune to one single lady. This tradition started in England that has gone from serious to merely jovial. Flowers are not only for decoration’s sake but one that would get everyone’s attention during the tradition of passing luck through the tossing of the bouquet.
