Then, on October 14, 2018, she held her wedding ceremony at the Westin Hotel Osaka＊

In this article, we will report on the details of Ami Kikuchi's wedding♩

Where did Ami Kikuchi hold her wedding?

Ami Kikuchi held her wedding at the "Westin Hotel Osaka" in Osaka＊

The Westin Hotel Osaka opened in 1993 as the first hotel in Japan of the traditional American chain "Westin Hotels & Resorts"♩

It is a beautifully elegant hotel in a European classic style♡

What is the atmosphere of the chapel?

The chapel at the Westin Hotel Osaka features a high ceiling, stained glass, and a pipe organ, giving it a traditional atmosphere＊

A distinguishing feature is that the ceiling color can be changed, and Ami Kikuchi reportedly chose white♩

What brand is the wedding dress?

The wedding dress that Ami Kikuchi chose is here＊

It is an off-shoulder full-length gown adorned with plenty of lace and shimmer♡

This dress is from the brand "Yumi Katsura"＊

It is said that designer Yumi Katsura herself coordinated the dress, accessories, and flowers!

How enviable it is to be coordinated by Yumi Katsura♡

The hairstyle features a voluminous updo with a sparkling tiara, complemented by a pure white meria bouquet decorated with plenty of baby's breath＊

A highlight of the back style of the wedding dress is that it is adorned with the same flowers as in the bouquet♡ (Image 4)

While there are no clear front photos of the groom's tuxedo during the ceremony, it seems to be the same white double suit worn at the reception.

At the reception, he wore this suit with:

☑ Navy bow tie

☑ Navy scarf

☑ Ankle socks

By the way, it is rumored that her husband is Kazukou Ikeda, managing director of the real estate company "Gold Fastate Co., Ltd." located in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

First colored dress＊

Ami Kikuchi changed her outfit two times at the reception＊

The first outfit change was into a yellow colored dress called "Colette," designed by Hani Ito, from "THE HANY"♩

Her hairstyle featured a cute half-updo with a matching headpiece, alongside a clutch bouquet of baby's breath and matricaria wrapped with a large white ribbon♡

The groom reportedly changed from a pure white suit to a navy jacket, along with a burgundy bow tie and scarf♩

He chose a brand he likes, Berluti, for his belt and shoes＊

Second colored dress＊

The second colored dress was also from The Hany, called "Dupery"♩

It's a unique dress with gingham checks, pink, and ribbons! As expected of Ami Kikuchi, it suits her perfectly!!

For bridal hair, she opted for a ponytail with a large ribbon, and her bouquet featured yellow and pink roses with a big ribbon for a coordinated look full of ribbons♡

Her husband changed into a pink bow tie and a boutonnière that matched the bouquet＊

What kind of wedding cake was chosen?

The wedding cake chosen by Ami Kikuchi was a large imitation cake typical of hotel weddings♡

The decorations with whipped cream and flowers are very luxurious!

During the cake cutting, they had a bubble-blowing performance♩

Who were the celebrities present? What about performances and productions?

When it comes to celebrity weddings, it’s always curious to know what famous people were guests＊

At Ami Kikuchi's wedding, former members of Idoling, former Morning Musume member Mari Yaguchi, Kumicky (Kumiko Funayama), comedian Takashi Yoshimura from "Heisei Nobushikobushi," Misono, Ruriko Kojima, Ayaka Okawa, Rina Murata, Risa Yoshiki, Serina and others attended, it seems＊

The number of guests was about 160, making for a grand reception♡

It was said that during the amusements, they played a video of how they met and got excited with Idoling's dance as well＊

They also had a candles ceremony which involved lighting large candles＊

The large venue makes it impressive as the couple's moments were projected on a big screen!

It certainly sounds like a very enjoyable reception♩

The honeymoon was also very cute♡

Before the wedding (in June), Ami Kikuchi traveled for her honeymoon (to Barcelona, Paris, Milan, and Dubai) and had wedding photos taken in Paris♡

Like her pre-wedding shoot, it seems she requested the service from Watabe Wedding◎

The wedding photos with a horse-drawn carriage are truly fit for a princess＊

Photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower♩

In front of Chantilly Castle＊

The cute and romantic wedding photos taken in Paris are truly admirable♡
