"Charming Performances for a Shinto Wedding Ceremony! Wonderful Ideas for a Bouquet Pull with Traditional Japanese Attire ♡"

It might be difficult to do a bouquet toss in traditional Japanese attire.

Among the popular post-ceremony performances, bouquet toss is one that connects the baton of happiness.

The performance involves the bride tossing the bouquet high into the air for one of the guests to catch... this is a Western tradition.

It is typically done in a wedding dress in front of a chapel.

If you're in traditional attire, bouquet pulls are recommended instead♡

However, there are those who want to incorporate bouquet toss or performances using bouquets even in Shinto or Buddhist wedding ceremonies.

After all, these days, many brides combine Western-style casual clutch bouquets (not just ball bouquets) with traditional attire,

and the combination of kimono and bouquet makes for an incredibly cute coordination♩

Therefore, if you wish to use a bouquet for your performance even in traditional attire, bouquet toss is fine, but

I recommend the easier "bouquet pulls" instead♡

Reasons why bouquet pulls are recommended for white kimono and colored uchikake

The reason bouquet pulls are more advisable than bouquet toss during ceremonies in traditional attire is that,

above all, it ensures that "the kimono does not become disheveled"!!!

Of course, it's okay to do a bouquet toss in traditional weddings, but unlike a wedding dress where the upper body has relatively more freedom of movement,

it's difficult to move your body significantly in a white kimono or colored uchikake,

making the act of throwing the bouquet high and far a challenge.

After all, if the kimono has been beautifully dressed, making large movements could misalign the collar or obi, leading to a disheveled appearance.

Therefore, I recommend opting for bouquet pulls, which require smaller movements compared to bouquet toss♩

Bouquet pulls also allow guests to come closer, and the view of the ribbons extending in a radial pattern is incredibly cute and festive＊

Things to consider when doing bouquet pulls in traditional attire♡

When doing bouquet pulls in a colored uchikake or white kimono, I want to emphasize incorporating "Japanese" elements,

since it’s a traditional wedding, distinguishing it from the Western-style bouquet pulls in wedding dresses＊

For example, using "red thread" for the ribbons in a ribbon pull is a charming idea♡

There have been brides who attached tsumami zaiku (bouquet decorations using traditional Japanese fabric techniques) to the ends of all ribbons not connected to the bouquet♡

Even if no one catches the bouquet, everyone can receive handmade tsumami zaiku flowers made from chirimen fabric, making everyone happy while experiencing a sense of "Japan" through this wonderful performance♡

Bouquet pulls in traditional weddings might become a trend＊＊＊

Brides planning Shinto or Buddhist ceremonies may have thought, "That’s strange!" and given up on performances using bouquets from the start.

But that’s not the case＊

Bouquet pulls in traditional attire are incredibly cute, festive, and easy to perform without placing a burden on the kimono♡

It seems like this might become a trend, so if you're having a traditional wedding, please consider it♩
