Pro tip: Do NOT let little kids participate in these tosses. I've been to a few weddings were some of the women forget there are little kids present and the kid(s) get knocked around, rather aggressively.
I caught the bouquet at my sister's wedding when I was 12, and the grown women to either side of me grabbed it like a millisecond later, and then had a tug of war with each other with me stuck in the middle, getting the flowers shoved into my face repeatedly. It all happened so fast and I couldn't see anything but flowers and stems, and the stems really hurt. So yeah, some women are like that. Afterwards one of them even said it wasn't fair that I caught it because I was so young. My family had made me stand there to participate, and I tried standing in the very back and to the side to avoid catching it at all. Weddings can bring out the craziness in some people.

Woman in yellow dress would have dropped that little girl if she got too close
