How did the tradition of throwing a wedding bouquet come?

Many unmarried girls are looking forward to the moment at the wedding of a friend or acquaintance, when the bride will throw her bouquet. Cause to catch him is a great success. This means that soon its new owner will get married. But where did this interesting tradition come from?

Even the ancient Slavs handed over the flower composition carried by the bride at her wedding. At that time, this event contained strong energy. The fact is that wedding bouquets were collected by the grooms themselves from those flowers that they would find in the field or forest. Usually were used plants symbolizing strong love, loyalty, successful marriage, happiness.

While composing a bouquet, the groom had to think about his bride. During the marriage, the bride was holding a bouquet near her chest to feel the care and love of her future husband. And after the celebration, unmarried girls friends were dancing around the newly-made wife, and as soon as they were stopped, the girl facing the bride received the cherished flowers. The trudition of throwing a bouquet, not transmitting it, came to us from Europe.

Which flowers are best for using at the wedding?

Classic wedding bouquet consists of white buds and green leaves. But today, many girls choose pink, greenish, pale lilac and cream compositions. It is very important that the shade of the flowers is in harmony with your outfit and beautifully complements the overall image of the bride.
