🌸 Bouquet toss: 7 original ideas to surprise your wedding guests

💐 Tradition or fun time? The choice is yours!

The bouquet toss is one of the most anticipated moments of a wedding. According to tradition, the one who catches the bouquet is the next to get married...

But today, many brides want to revisit this moment with a touch of originality.

Here are 7 ideas to modernize the bouquet toss while retaining the magic of this ritual.

1. The Classic Throw

The bouquet is thrown blindly, often to lively music, toward the single guests gathered behind the bride. Simple, quick, and always fun, it remains a sure bet, especially if it's well staged.

Tip: Choose an upbeat song and organize a little scene with a microphone, DJ or host.

2. The Ribbon Bouquet (also called the "Ribbon Game")

Each participant holds a ribbon attached to the bouquet. One by one, the ribbons are cut (or randomly drawn) until only one remains, still attached to the bouquet: the winner!

Romantic, sophisticated and stress-free: perfect for elegant weddings or brides who don't want to throw their bouquet.

3. The False Throw (and the Surprise Bouquet)

The bride pretends to throw the bouquet... then turns around and offers it to someone dear to her heart. This could be a sister, a childhood friend, a mother, or a grandmother.

Guaranteed emotion: a tender and unexpected moment.

4. The Mini-Bouquet Throw

Instead of one large bouquet, prepare several smaller bouquets (or divide yours into several pieces). When tossing, several guests can catch one bouquet at a time.

Friendly and original, it's a nice way to share luck between several people.

5. The Eternal Bouquet (without throwing)

Some brides prefer to keep their bouquet or dry it. In this case, you can plan a secondary bouquet to toss or simply choose a different entertainment.

Sweet idea: offer a symbolic mini-bouquet to each bridesmaid or witness.

6. The Draw

Instead of throwing the bouquet, hide a sweet note or card under a chair, in an envelope, or in a balloon to pop. The guest who finds it wins the bouquet!

Playful and unexpected, perfect if you like to surprise your loved ones.

7. The Plush Throw

If you find the bouquet too fragile or prefer a more fun version, replace it with a stuffed animal decorated with your image!

Fun, quirky and childish, it's ideal for couples who love humor and surprises.
