The flowers thrown by the bride are called hand-held flowers. Handheld flowers originated in the West. Westerners believe that holding flowers can help newlyweds avoid illness and misfortune, and carry a happy love and future for both parties. A suitable bouquet of hand-held flowers can not only make the bride's appearance more perfect, but also convey beautiful blessings to others.
The meaning of holding flowers in hand
1. Original meaning - exorcism and protection
The most primitive meaning of holding flowers in a wedding is derived from an ancient custom concept. In ancient times, Westerners believed that holding flowers was the guardian of the wedding, and its strong spices or herbs (even including garlic and scallions) could protect people at the wedding from misfortune and disease.
2. Current meaning - blessings and prayers
Up to now, holding flowers in hand has become the bride's most beautiful wish, symbolizing the transmission of happiness. From stepping out of the house to entering the church, the bride held onto this sweetness tightly in her hands until the end of the wedding ceremony, when she threw the bouquet into the hands of another woman who was looking forward to happiness. Love and hope were also transmitted at that moment.
