When it’s time for the bouquet toss, choosing the right song often adds to the excitement before the bouquet ever leaves your hands. The song you pick can give us a chance to turn up the energy as we invite the ladies out to the dance floor, giving them an opportunity to have fun, sing along, and dance from the moment they leave their seats.
Traditionally, the bouquet toss was reserved for the unmarried women at the reception, with the catch carrying the familiar “you’re next” tradition. While plenty of couples still prefer that version, the bouquet toss has become a lot more flexible over the years.
We can invite the single ladies, include all the women, open it up to anyone who wants a shot at the bouquet, or skip the toss entirely. After years of working with couples, we’ve learned that the best version is the one you envision, and we’re here to help it all come together.
There are plenty of ways to celebrate being a woman, and powerful female anthems have always been one of them. Our 50 picks bring together big sing-alongs about self-confidence and being independent, along with a mix of fun favorites about friendship and celebrating with your girls.
Alright, ladies. This one’s for you!

Tips for Your Wedding Bouquet Toss
1.Have Some Fun With It.
There’s a reason the bouquet toss has remained a wedding favorite over the years. It’s a fun, lighthearted moment that usually brings plenty of laughs, a little friendly competition, and some of the most memorable photos of the reception once that bouquet goes flying. From the bride’s toss to everyone reaching for the catch, there are plenty of opportunities for your photographer to capture some great reactions along the way. If you’re planning to preserve your bouquet or simply don’t want to send it flying across the dance floor, you can ask your florist about a smaller bouquet made specifically for the toss.
2.Present the Bouquet to Someone Special.
If tossing the bouquet isn’t really your thing, you can turn the tradition into something a little more personal by presenting the bouquet to someone special instead. It could be your mom, grandmother, someone who has played an important role in your life, or even the longest married couple at your reception. It’s a simple alternative that gives the bouquet its own meaningful moment without having to toss it across the dance floor.
