The practice of the tossing the bridal bouquet is believed to be an outgrowth of an idea that was popular in the 14th century, particularly in early French tradition. It was considered lucky to get a fragment of the bride's clothing. In those days, the bride was treated poorly. Guests would grab at her wedding dress in order to tear off pieces. Although brides continued to believe that they would not be wearing their wedding gowns again, they objected to its wanton destruction. They looked for an alternative and, instead began the custom of throwing personal articles, such as the garter, to the guests.

Music is fun to play while doing this, it can get more people involved but it's up to you and you FH if you want music played!

the tossing of the bridal bouquet and garter are traditions but i think people keep them in the program just for fun. at my wedding, we played "Single Ladies" during the bouquet toss. The girls had fun dancing & fighting over it! The guys on the other hand ... it's just hysterical to watch their reactions. I dont remember the song we played, but all of the guys ran when the garter was thrown. It hit the floor!
