Bouquet Toss Is Considerate…?

One of the main events of a wedding, the "Bouquet Toss" *The bouquet toss is a sharing of happiness from the bride to her friends♡ There is a saying that "the one who catches the bride's bouquet will find happiness next," making it a wishful event for unmarried women◎

But did you know that there are mixed opinions about bouquet tossing these days? If all your friends are unmarried women of marriageable age, there shouldn't be any problem. However, if there are many married friends present and someone says, "We're going to do a bouquet toss!" it can feel a bit embarrassing.

While no one might care, it feels like you're announcing "I am unmarried" in front of a large crowd. If you're still of marriageable age, it might be fine, but if you have slightly passed that age, those feelings can be even stronger.

Therefore, it seems that some recent brides are choosing not to have a bouquet toss. Since it's a performance for the guests, it makes sense to skip it if there are unpleasant guests, but since it's one of the main events of the wedding, it might feel a little lonely…
