Original Commentary

Not quite as detailed as the wallpaper version, but just as chibied... Sofia in the first panel wasn't actually supposed to have been there- that should have been Jane. But, well, it didn't really matter that much, there was no deeper meaning to who was going for the flowers over anyone else, just a bunch of girls (and Miz Taylor) going for it. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Traditionally, the bride's bouquet is thrown towards the assembled single women and there's a superstition that whoever catches it will be the next one to get married.

That's why Jane isn't at the front of the pack - Terrence
