How did tradition come about? «Catch the bride’s bouquet»?
According to legend, before, when flowers did not attach much importance, the bride's friends tried to touch her outfit or veil - this was considered a good sign. Sometimes the culprit’s dress was even endangered, because some ladies tried to tear a piece of cloth from the dress «for luck». To distract attention from her person, the girl threw flowers to them. The one who caught them was considered a lucky woman who would soon meet her future bridegroom and get married.
In Russia, the girl did not throw a wedding bouquet, but passed it to an unmarried woman. This was done like this: unmarried friends stood in a circle and led a round dance, the culprit of the wedding, standing in the center of the circle, with closed eyes handed flowers at random. It was considered a good sign for a girl to get this accessory. In the modern interpretation, flowers are allowed both to be thrown (western custom) and to be handed over (ancient Russian tradition).
