Bouquet Battle Royale
In this wedding photo, the scene is set with several women leaping and lunging in a comedic display of determination. Each face is uniquely contorted with a fierce focus on catching the tossed bouquet. This tradition, steeped in history, began in England where it was believed the bride could pass on her good fortune to others.
By throwing her bouquet, she symbolically shares her luck with the lucky catcher, presumed to be the next in line for marriage. The scene is a riot of expressions and excitement, far from the gentle passing of good wishes originally intended, yet filled with laughter and lively competition.
