There are many occasions to bow at a wedding＊

There are many occasions to bow at a wedding＊

・A bow when entering during the ceremony and reception

・A bow upon reaching the high table

・A light bow to the boss during the main guest's speech or toast

・A bow when moving away or exiting

And so on.

The way you bow at this time (and how it looks) is very important＊

Because it reflects the bride's sense of aesthetics in her posture, education, upbringing, and confidence to the guests,

let's aim for a beautiful, neat, and visually appealing bow instead of an awkward, clumsy, or unpracticed one.

It's just a bow. But it's still a bow!

Here are some tips on how to bow beautifully that you should know＊

How to Bow Beautifully [1] Keep your head to waist straight!

First, while standing, stretch your back and improve your posture.

Then, imagine folding at the waist (around the belly button) and lean your body forward about 20-30 degrees＊

At this time, keep your head and waist straight in a line. (If your head droops or your back rounds, it won't look beautiful!)

Practice taking photos and videos from various angles together＊

How to Bow Beautifully [2] Balance with the Groom's Height

The height with the groom should be about the same or the groom should bow slightly deeper than the bride＊

When viewed from the side like this, it is balanced and looks very beautiful.

The recommended angle for the bride is 20 to 30 degrees, so the groom’s bow angle seems to be around 30 degrees.

Just be careful not to lower your head too much compared to the groom.

(If you bow too deeply, it might look like you're giving a press conference in apology!)

How to Bow Beautifully [3] Hold the Bouquet in the Center

Basically, when bowing alongside the groom, your right hand will be through his arm and you should hold the bouquet with your left hand.

At that time, it’s not good to let the bouquet hang down or hold it at the edge of your body.

Bend your elbow slightly and hold the bouquet at your stomach level, in the center.

It's also important to make the flowers visible to the guests＊

How to Bow Beautifully [4] Timing for Lifting Your Face

When bowing alongside the groom,

First, the bride should lower her head almost simultaneously as he bows,

hold for about 2 seconds,

and then rise with him at the same time, which creates a beautiful flow＊

Imagine following him just a moment after he does.

Beauty is Reflected in Your Bow!

Among brides who have graduated,

many regret saying,

"I didn’t practice at all, so my bow was ugly."

"Our heights and balance didn’t match."

So they advise practicing how to bow, so later they won’t look at the photos or videos and wish they had paid more attention＊
