The Bouquet Toss is undoubtedly one of the most well known wedding traditions. As a very experienced wedding DJ, I've seen a lot of them.... It can be a ton of fun and is also extremely unpredictable. I've seen girls falling all over themselves to catch the bouquet, while other times they ran away at the speed of light!
By tradition, the bride stands with her back to the single ladies, and with the wedding DJ doing a countdown , the bride tosses the bouquet behind her. The person lucky enough to catch it is said to be the next girl to be married.
Everyone seems to have some difficulty selecting the song for the bouquet because they’d like their reception to be different from everyone else’s – but there’s a certain expectation that goes along with the bouquet toss. Selecting a song that only the bride and a few people know won’t have the same effect as a song that most will recognize.
