"Instead of a Bouquet, Toss a Candy Bouquet! Materials and Step-by-Step Guide with Photos*"

Alternative Performance for Bouquet Toss: Candy Toss ♡

The traditional bouquet toss, where the bride throws her wedding bouquet to unmarried female guests, is a classic wedding event.

However, recently, many brides have opted out of the bouquet toss due to reasons like "few unmarried female guests" and "not all guests can participate."

As an alternative, the "Candy Toss" performance is becoming more popular! ♡

The candy toss features a "candy bouquet," which is a bundle of sweets and artificial flowers tossed, rather than a real wedding bouquet.

Anyone can participate in this toss, including married women, men, and children! ♩

The candy bouquet, made of beautiful flowers and sweets, is a cute and delightful gift.

What are the materials, how to make it, and the budget for the candy bouquet?

Many brides purchase candy bouquets from handmade shops like minne or choose to make them by hand.

Gathering your favorite candies and flowers to create an original candy bouquet is one of the joys of bride DIY! ♡

In this article, we will detail the materials, how to make it, and the costs involved for the candy bouquet. ♩

For larger boxes of sweets (here we use Pocky), secure them with paper straws using masking tape instead of wire.

Next, wrap the box with a transparent bag and tie the opening with a color tie or pipe cleaner.

Once all candies are shaped into sticks, gather them with the artificial flowers and decide on the design while checking the balance.

Once the design is finalized, tie a rubber band around the lower part of the stems.
