Welcome to the 75th episode of the Wedding Songs Podcast. I am Matt Campbell. And today I’m gonna be talking about 100 bouquet toss songs to play at your wedding reception. Now, this is when the bride tosses her bouquet. A recommendation would be to have a second bouquet, so that way she can keep her own. That second bouquet is thrown to all of the single ladies in attendance and tradition says that the person that catches it will be the next one to be married.
