The Top 10 Bouquet Toss Songs and 10 Alternative Bouquet Toss Songs

One of the most well-known wedding reception traditions is the bouquet toss.  This is an event that can be a lot of fun as well as quite unpredictable.  We have seen single ladies physically climbing over each other to catch a flying bouquet as well as women running away from it faster than our eyes could catch.  It’s not even unusual for a bouquet to hit a ceiling light, fan, or other hanging object before it reaches the audience, or even to be overthrown Jay Cutler style – Fun DMC has seen it all!

As is tradition, the bride stands facing away from the designated crowd of single ladies in attendance, and when the MC instructs her to, she tosses the bouquet over head and whomever catches it is said to be the next one to get married.  To add to this excitement, it’s always fun to play a high-energy song during this event.  In the past two years, Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” has easily been the most requested song for the bouquet toss, but there’s always a few brides who want to buck the trend and try something unique or more their style.
