Instead of doing a regular toss bouquet, try a fortune bouquet! It is the size of a traditional toss bouquet, but it breaks away in to 9 mini-bouquets once thrown.
What to do:
Buy nine charms, attach them to ribbon, and then make 9 mini-bouquets with three or four flowers each. After the bouquets are made, tie one ribbon with a charm of these to each bouquet. When you hold it, it will look like one large bouquet, but when you toss it up the hope is that the nine different bouquets will separate and fly on their own!
So, each bouquet's charm has its own meaning (each charm based from the countless myths and folklore). The charms are actually a nineteenth century American custom.
Sample Charm Meanings:
- Ring - Next to Marry
- Horseshoe - Lucky in Life
- Baby Rattle - Blessed with Children
- Sunflower - Blossoming Relationship
- Airplane - Fantastic Journeys Ahead
- Heart - Will Soon Find Love
- Shoes - May You Always Find the Ones that Fit!
- Believe - Your Wishes Will Come True
- Crown - You Will Live a Life of Leisure
