For those that aren't aware of this tradition, this means she's likely to get married next.
The tradition apparently comes from the medieval belief that brides themselves were blessed with luck, and people in the middle ages would try to take something from her to improve their luck, like a bit of their dress, an accessory, or even a lock of hair. Tossing some bauble off was for distraction so that the bride and groom could make a deft escape after the ceremony without getting harassed by the crowd on their way out. The tradition evolved over time to favor flowers, and the bride's luck folklore latched on.
A garter is also usually tossed for the same effect. Usually a lady is supposed to catch the flowers, and a guy catches the lacy bit. Some superstitions say the two are linked, so all we need to happen now is for the garter to land on rival girl to seal the deal.
"Very strongly implied that rival-chan is a lesbian"? How is it strongly implied? The morning after scene was a gag and this one isn't even inherently sexual.

Gag or not, Rival-chan's reaction in post #3946663 certainly isn't the reaction of someone who was displeased by the situation. There's truth in every joke.

I could very well be wrong -- we'll see if her flirting with the dude turns out to be nothing but a farce to get with office lady or something -- but I think you're looking too much into it (or perhaps not looking into it enough. post #3892279 Why would she feel threatened by the other rival if she's into office lady?). A lot of [western] english speaking people see gay stuff everywhere even where it isn't, because that's how our culture is now. Not so sure about Japan, where this kind of comedy is commonplace.
To be fair, there is a decent amount of Japanese twitter users who are also getting homoerotic vibes from their interactions with each other, but that's just a portion out of many people who don't see any yuri behind it.
The author certainly teasingly acknowledged it though, but it's more of a Shrug of God atm than any confirmation.
