I'm drawing a blank right about now, and I tried doing a search for "wedding traditions" with no luck.

"Tossing The Bridal Bouquet"
Tossing of the bridal bouquet is a custom which has its roots in England. It was believed that the bride could pass along good fortune to others. In order to obtain this fortune, spectators would try to tear away pieces of the bride's clothing and flowers. In an attempt to get away, the bride would toss her bouquet into the crowd. Tradition says that the single women who catches the bouquet is the one who receives the bride's fortune and will marry next.

It's called tossing the bride's bouquet. And if you choose to, you may order (or pick up a fresh bouquet the day of) an additional, lower priced bouquet to toss and allow the lucky girl to take it home with her.

A serious mistake. You catch that thing and right away there are major expectations placed on you. Run from the thing as fast as you can. Do NOT, repeat do NOT even attempt to catch it.......Worse than breaking a mirror, that's only 7 years of bad luck. Catching the flowers can last a lifetime.

I have only heard it called "throwing the bouquet." I have never heard another name for it. Sorry.
