Wedding Preparation Period, Let's Have Fun!♡
A wedding ceremony takes a long time to prepare, typically six months to over a year. When you think about it, it's remarkable to be thinking about the wedding for such a long period.
Just as a wedding happens only once in a lifetime, the preparation period is also a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The key to a happy wedding is to enjoy not just the day itself, but also the preparation period to the fullest!♡
For Those Who Want to Take Their Time♡ Additional Items*
This time we introduce items recommended for brides-to-be who are thinking, "I want to cherish each moment while putting plenty of time into wedding preparations♡."
☑ Wedding Bouquet
☑ Ring Pillow
☑ Seating Chart
These are not "must-have" items, but…
They are the kinds of items that enhance the wedding atmosphere when you have them.*
The special experience of being a bride-to-be allows you to seriously ponder your wedding item choices.
Feel free to incorporate any items that you think are wonderful♩
Mood-Enhancing Wedding Item ① Bridal Hanger
A bridal hanger is for hanging the groom’s tuxedo and the bride’s wedding dress until preparations begin on the day.
"Groom" and "Bride," along with their names, are designed in wire and adorned with ribbons.
The charm of a bridal hanger is that you can take cute photographs of your favorite outfits!♡
Of course, venues have hangers, but there’s something uplifting about having a special hanger just for your wedding day.
Imagine the emotion of seeing your destiny dress on the wedding hanger in the morning!♡
Since it’s a less common item for brides to prepare, it could make a great gift for a bride-to-be friend!
Mood-Enhancing Wedding Item ② Chair Sign
A chair sign is an item that decorates the chairs where the bride and groom sit, labeled "Groom" and "Bride."
This item has become popular among brides doing natural weddings, as it is often seen in overseas garden weddings.♡
Attaching a chair sign to the chair adds a nice touch to pictures taken from behind the head table♡
It can be used not only on the day itself but also as a prop for pre-wedding photos.
Mood-Enhancing Wedding Item ③ Wedding Cushion
A wedding cushion is placed on the chairs of the bride and groom during the reception.
Guests adore the sight of a cute cushion sitting there while the couple is away for a moment♡
Cushions with the couple's names or wedding date embroidered in original designs are very popular.
In the case of a sofa-style head table, the cushions can be seen well by guests.
Similar to a chair sign, wedding cushions can also be used as props for pre-wedding photos. After the wedding, you can enjoy them as part of your home decor!♡
The pen that guests use to sign the guest book at the reception is known as a reception pen.
While venues often lend out pens, many brides choose to bring their own designed pens for additional detail.♡
This botanical pen has greenery or artificial flowers glued to the end of it.
It gives a natural and cute impression to the reception!*
A flower pen with a large rose attached to it is sure to wow guests who might say, "The pen is cute too!♡"
It's not every day that you have the chance to DIY such a cute pen. Why not try your hand at making it while imagining the adorable reception setting?*
Mood-Enhancing Wedding Item ⑤ Bridal Garter
The last item I’ll introduce is the bridal garter. It's an accessory that brides wear to hold up their stockings.*
In some countries, there is an extravagant tradition called the "garter toss," where the groom removes the garter from the bride's leg with his mouth and tosses it to the male guests.
While it might be difficult to attempt a garter toss in Japan, secretly hiding a cute garter under your skirt could definitely boost your excitement, don’t you think?
It’s also recommended to wear a bridal garter with a blue ribbon as part of the "something blue" lucky charm.
Additionally, in some cultures, the garter used in the wedding is repurposed as a headpiece for babies.*
Incorporating such lovely overseas customs can be a fun aspect too!♡
Enjoy Choosing Items During Your Bride-to-Be Period♡

If you feel you still have plenty of time until the big day, why not start preparing some?♡
Let’s fully enjoy that happy dilemma, "I can’t choose because they are all so cute," that brides experience!*
