Beautiful South African Wedding Tradition


Worldwide weddings are full off beautiful traditions. In South Africa such traditions are also followed and is part of our own unique traditions, and one of them is the bridal bouquet and the ceremony to throw it away.

The tradition behind this is that anything worn by the bride was and is considered good luck. The bouquet is considered a sign of happiness. Another reason to throw the bouquet into the crowd by bride is to distract the crowd so that she could escape.

Watch this video taken at my daughter’s wedding on 3 March 2012.

Enjoy!
