💐 The tradition of throwing a wedding bouquet is steeped in rich history, throughout many cultures.

Long ago, the ancient Greeks and Romans used fragrant herbs and spices to ward off nasty evil spirits or bad luck.
Wearing garlands or carrying flowers signified new beginnings, fertility, and loyalty.

💐 In medieval Europe, it was common practice for single women to chase down the bride, and rip pieces off of her dress.

This would leave the bride wearing bits and pieces of the gown she was married in.

A bride did not expect to wear her wedding dress again, and the dress was seen as good luck for single women - a type of fertility charm.

💐 However, as years went on, the materials and labour to make a wedding dress became more expensive, making it more traditional for women to keep them.

To create a distraction and prevent guests from ripping the bride's dress apart, objects were thrown - one of which became the brides bouquet.

Symbolizing fertility, the bouquet was a cheaper option, as the bride would not wish to keep it.

💐 Brides often threw bouquets of fragrant herbs, such as dill, to represent lust.

They used spices in the bouquet to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, as well as mask body odor.

💐 Over the years, this act of distraction has turned into a tradition meant for the bride to pass on her good fortune to a single lady.

Whoever catches the bouquet at a wedding, is thought to be the next lady in line to wed.
