Broccoli Toss with Broccoli.
After the wedding ceremony, the tradition of tossing the bouquet (originating from the question "Who is the next bride?") has been a long-standing practice where the bride throws the bouquet to unmarried women.
Along with the traditional bouquet toss, there’s been a recent addition where the groom also participates in the performance, resulting in the emergence of the broccoli toss.
Broccoli has a thick stem and a somewhat umbrella-like appearance, making it look like a bouquet on its own. Additionally, it has many florets attached, symbolizing prosperity and fertility, making it a vegetable considered auspicious.
I thought that the broccoli bouquet for the broccoli toss mainly consisted of a whole stalk of broccoli wrapped up, but recently, while browsing Instagram, I was surprised to see many creative arrangements and changes in the appearance of broccoli bouquets for the toss, so I’d like to share some examples.

I had no idea there could be such arrangements for broccoli!
The standard for broccoli toss bouquets used to be "wrapping a whole broccoli stalk in wrapping paper and tying a ribbon," but who would have thought they could be bundled with flowers!
The fresh appearance was shocking, but it feels so festive and fitting for a wedding.
