The Ribbon Game: An Elegant Alternative to the Bouquet Toss

A soft and photogenic wedding animation

For years, the bouquet toss has been a wedding staple. An anticipated moment, often fun… but sometimes a little chaotic. This is where the ribbon game steps in. Softer, more aesthetic and infinitely more photogenic, it is winning over more and more brides each season.

How does the ribbon game work?

The concept is simple.

The bride holds her bouquet, to which several long ribbons are attached — one for each participant. Guests stand in a circle around her, each holding a ribbon.

The music starts. The bride gently turns in the centre, creating a fluid, poetic movement. At a chosen moment, she cuts the ribbons one by one… until only one remains.

A suspended, elegant moment full of gentle tension.

A more inclusive alternative

The bouquet toss is traditionally reserved for single women. The ribbon game can be open to everyone: friends, sisters, cousins, loved ones… even men if the bride wishes.

It's no longer about marital status, but about emotional connection.

An aesthetic and refined moment

Visually, the result is sublime.

Satin or silk ribbons float around the bride. The circle creates a harmonious composition. The photos are incredibly elegant, especially with a fresh flower bouquet.

In high-end weddings or carefully curated settings, the ribbon game fits perfectly without disrupting the atmosphere.

Zero stress, zero jostling

No running, no shouting, no heels sinking into the lawn.

Everything is fluid, controlled, almost choreographed. It's an activity that respects the pace of the wedding and stays in harmony with a chic and convivial atmosphere.
