Tossing of the Bouquet

Who said that you have to throw the bouquet anyway? Instead of tossing the bouquet, hand it to the person in front of you. Odd, I know, but it sounds like fun. Here is a fun alternative that I found on www.MarthaStewart.com. A custom popular in Finland: The bride is blindfolded, and the unmarried women form a circle around her. While music plays, the bride slowly turns in place in one direction and the women walk, arms linked, the other way. Everyone stops when the music ends, and the bride walks forward to hand off her flowers to the person directly in front of her.
If that isn't your thing, try tossing a fortune bouquet. Also found on www.MarthaStewart.com (Yes, I love Martha): Save your bridal bouquet and throw a special "fortune bouquet" composed of a dozen or so small clusters of flowers bound together with a ribbon that you untie before you throw. Each mini bouquet is bundled with a different romantic fortune.
Just thought this was something fun to think about to add a little fun to an old tradition.
