I Don't Have Time to Prepare for Photo Items!

Speaking of the joys of wedding preparation, it's the pre-wedding photoshoot ♡

After seeing posts from senior brides showcasing their DIY shooting props,

many brides-to-be might be feeling like,

"I need to prepare some photo items too!"

While it's great to want cute shooting items for the pre-wedding photoshoot, we also have to proceed with the preparations for the wedding day at the same time..

With so many tasks to tackle, it's a shame if you end up sleep-deprived on the day of your pre-wedding shoot... that would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

Time is money. It's okay because there are photogenic items you can just buy ♡

For those brides, I recommend shooting items that are "good to go" just by purchasing them, no DIY needed.*

If you can buy shooting props online, the preparation is a breeze ♡

It's perfect for those who don't have the time to collect materials from 100 yen shops or make original items.

Let me introduce "buy only" shooting props that let you take lovely wedding photos without needing to DIY! ♡

First, let's start with items that can be used for traditional photo shoots ♡

【Traditional Photo Shoot】Photogenic Item You Can Just Buy ① Fan

A unique prop for traditional photo shoots is the fan.

Decorated fan props with artificial flowers or colored paper are popular, but you can still take stylish photos using a simple, undecorated fan.*

Don’t you think a simple gold or silver fan is refined and lovely? ♡

【Traditional Photo Shoot】Photogenic Item You Can Just Buy ② Couple's Charm

Next, we introduce the "Couple's Charm," a charm for marital happiness.

These cute matching charms require no modification and can create beautiful shots with a Japanese feel.

While it's common to receive charms at shrines, some may not have the time to go to the shrine during the day.

In such cases, use a shrine that allows postal requests.*

You can get a wonderful couple’s charm while staying at home.

➡ It can be surprisingly difficult to visit a shrine...! Here is a shrine where you can request cute couple charms by mail ♡
