Throwing the bridal bouquet is a tradition that has been re-adapted over the years and the same happens with other rituals. Do you dare to give a twist to this moment and surprise with an original launch? Here are 8 ideas, from some traditional to the most innovative that you can find.

    1. Rescue the bouquet

    One of the games to throw the bridal bouquet This proposal consists of locking the bride's bouquet in a box, surrounded by a chain sealed with a padlock and a single key to open it. Thus, the guests will have to take a key at random and go out to the center of the dance floor to try their luck.

    It will be a very interesting moment for the bachelorettes, but also for all the guests, who will be waiting to find out who will be the lucky one who manages to open the box and get such a precious trophy. Be careful, don't forget to play suspenseful music while each bachelorette makes her attempt.

    2. Personalized delivery

    Another idea for tossing the bridal bouquet is that, instead of tossing it to the guests, another suggestion is to to give it herself to a very special person. It can be the mother, the godmother, the older sister or, for example, choose a friend that you would like to take the bouquet, either because she is special to you or because she will be the next one to get married. The idea is to choose a surprise moment If she is the longest married woman, you can ask the DJ to stop the music in the middle of the dance or at the time of dessert. If she is the longest married woman, you can ask her to delight them with a dance with her husband.

    3. Bouquet with consolation prize

    If you want to follow the tradition, but at the same time, do something fun, take into account this proposal that is very easy to carry out. First, you can do the following choose a song to launch the bridal bouquet Then, you pitch it the traditional way to your single friends; however, prepares a second release You can also use an envelope with movie tickets or restaurant invitations inside.

    4. Include all women

    Break the rules and invite all women to join in The idea is that everyone has an equal chance to catch the bouquet and share an unforgettable moment with you. And to make it entertaining, have a playlist with music to launch the bridal bouquet and dance with all the women invited to the wedding, it will be very funny and the pictures will be the best!

    5. Eyes closed

    If you're worried about how to throw the bridal bouquet, here you don't have to worry. Because in a pure "blind man's buffoon" style, you must ask to be blindfolded, while the guests position themselves in a round around you. To the sound of music and while everyone dances, you touch them one by one until you finally decide to give the bouquet to the chosen one. Without looking, obviously, so it will be 100 percent random.

    And another game to throw the bridal bouquet is to go blindfolded, but this time you in the DJ's booth, is to emulate the game of "the hot potato", that is, the bachelorettes pass the bouquet one by one until you stop the song and whoever holds it at that moment, will be the lucky one.

    6. Throw away the tapes

    This is a Japanese tradition and in its most common version, the ribbons -whether they are the same color or different-, surround the bouquet, although only one is actually tied to it. So, in this game, the bachelorettes choose one end and on the count of three, they all pull at the same time, keeping the bride's bouquet who chose the ribbon tied.

    Besides being a fun and easy dynamic to execute, the photos will look beautiful. And a second alternative to throwing the bouquet is that, being all the ribbons tied to the stems of the flowers, the bride will cut them one by one with her eyes closed and unclassifying candidates until only one is left.

    7. Role exchange

    If you dare to do something totally unexpected, you can swap roles with your husband One proposal is that you throw the bride's bouquet to the bachelorettes, taking them out onto the dance floor to warm up the atmosphere with music. What will the bride do then? One proposal is that you throw the garter to the men or, if there is no garter, you can throw a football ball autographed by you or that includes the date of the wedding.

    8. Basket with flowers

    Prepare a basket with flowers and hangs from its stems cards This option is ideal for those brides who prefer not to throw the bouquet, but to preserve it. And the best of all is that the guests will be equally fascinated, because each one will take home a flower.

    How to do it in an entertaining way? Choose a song to launch the bouquet and ask the bachelorettes to come to the stage one by one. Have them do a funny dance, pick a flower from the basket, and read aloud the message they got.

    If you want everyone to remember that moment, try innovative bouquet tossing ideas like the ones we've just presented to you. The important thing, in the end, is that everyone has a good time.
