Bouquet
A bridal bouquet stands for happiness passing hand to hand and for a celebration on its way. Catching the bouquet is a good dream of a good bond or a harvest coming round to your turn, while throwing it is read as a time of handing on what you were holding and feeling lighter for it. The fresher the flowers, the better it is read; a wilted bouquet is not an ill omen but a nudge to tend to what you have postponed. That said, catching it does not settle a marriage, and it reads better as any occasion worth congratulating.
A bouquet has no fixed owner and is handed on by being thrown, so the dream reads as someone else's good fortune crossing over to you. Traditional dream lore read flowers as celebration and honour, so the very act of giving or receiving them counted as favourable. A bouquet is handed to one person only, so who was standing there with you changes the grain.
Readings by Situation
Catching the bouquet
A good dream of a good bond or a harvest coming round to your turn. Old lore read receiving flowers as glad news. Something good you had postponed is about to come back around.
Throwing the bouquet
Read as the time of handing on what you were holding and feeling lighter for it. Not a loss but making room for whoever comes next. If your heart felt light, read it favourably.
Seeing a wilted bouquet
Not an ill omen but a nudge to tend to what you postponed. It signals something whose moment slipped by, so pull out one overdue task. It is not hard to make it bloom again.
Making or choosing a bouquet
A sign that you are still preparing. It means you are choosing what to put in, so rather than rushing, simply pick the one you like.
Catching a bouquet settles no marriage and foretells no real wedding. It comes with the same meaning to people already married and to people with no wedding anywhere in sight.
