Keep in mind that you are looking to give your single female guests a single great and hopeful moment when they can just feel special.
Build up on the moment and keep the anticipation high to make everyone excited. Usually, the bouquet toss is done before the end of the reception and right before the garter toss so you the songs played on the background have to be as romantic as possible.
However, you can also go with another approach, if your single friends are not into that romantic feel at all. Wait for the right time for the toss and keep your poise at all times.
