The now-standard [Takasago Sofa] ♡
The Takasago is an important space where the main characters, the bride and groom, sit.
Until our parents' generation, it was standard to have a large table that was so big that even with both arms stretched out, one couldn't reach the edges, placed right in front.
But now, a completely different style of [Takasago Sofa] has become popular ♡
☑ No large table in front means a closer distance to guests
☑ The wedding dress's skirt is clearly visible in photos
☑ It creates a casual and modern atmosphere
This style has garnered a lot of support from many brides*
The key to the Takasago Sofa is the decoration on the Takasago side!
