Spent several hundred pounds on your wedding flowers and not sure how best to preserve them? Yeet them over your shoulder instead, and they're instantly someone else's problem.
Apparently the 'modern' tradition of a bride throwing her bouquet has been a thing that emerged in the 14th century (so much for modern) and used to show the end of the wedding. The idea was that it bestowed fortune and good luck on those who caught it. Fortune and good luck... I might try and catch the next one. It's likely easier than being a wedding photographer and it being my actual job to photograph these - do I focus on the bride? The flowers? The people attempting to make a catch in 4 inch heels? Oh, and it's usually pitch black at the same time. And 'photography' means recording light.
