Bouquet Toss Songs

Fun and celebratory songs for the bouquet toss — plus 8 creative alternatives to the traditional tradition.

The bouquet toss gathers your single female friends and family on the dancefloor, and the one who catches the bouquet is said to be next in line to marry. Whether or not you believe in the tradition, it's usually a fun, high-energy moment that gets guests on their feet and generates great photographs.

Choose a song that celebrates femininity, friendship, and fun — something your single girlfriends will recognise and dance to. This is their moment as much as yours.

8 Fun Bouquet Toss Alternatives

  1. Call all female guests to the dancefloor, not just the single ones — it's more inclusive and more fun.
  2. Do a "longest married" dance instead — invite all married couples to the floor and eliminate them by length of marriage. The last couple standing gets the bouquet.
  3. Give the bouquet to a specific guest who has been important in your relationship — a matchmaker, a childhood friend, a grandmother.
  4. Toss multiple mini bouquets so several guests can catch them simultaneously.
  5. Turn it into a game — have guests answer a trivia question about you as a couple, and the winner gets the bouquet.
  6. Skip it entirely and simply give the bouquet to a meaningful person at the end of the evening as a gesture of love.
  7. Do a "bouquet toss" via auction — guests bid (with play money provided at their table) and the proceeds go to a charity you care about.
  8. Have all the single ladies sit down one by one to music, musical-chairs style, until one remains — she gets the bouquet.
