"Trends in 'A Touch of Simplicity': A Collection of Accessories for Kimono Pre-Shoots"
2019.07.14 published
What Accessories to Prepare for Your Kimono Pre-Shoot?
The number one thing you want to do before the wedding day: a kimono pre-shoot ♡
For brides who plan to wear a wedding dress and colored dress at their wedding, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy wearing a shiro-muku, color-uchikake, and hakama.
In previous kimono pre-shoots, it was common to prepare a lot of handmade Japanese-style accessories like "red threads" and "we got married garlands," but...
It seems that this trend is changing a bit lately.
Current Photo Shoot Accessories: Simple & Minimal
Nowadays, rather than preparing a lot of accessories for your kimono pre-shoot,
the mainstream style is to "bring just a few items with simple designs, using them as accents."
The main characters in wedding photos are, after all, the bride and groom, not the handmade accessories!
It appears that many are increasingly wishing to have kimono pre-shoot photos that won’t fade even after many years.
So, what kind of pre-shoot accessories should you prepare for your kimono pre-shoot?
☑ Not influenced by several years of trends
☑ The main characters are the bride and groom
☑ Easy to prepare
With those points in mind, here are some recommended items ♡
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ① Fan
A must-have classic accessory is a fan ♡
It can be used to cover your mouth or for kiss shots.
As a representative example of kimono accessories, you’ll want to get at least one stylish photo using a fan. ♩
Many studios rent these alongside the shiro-muku or color-uchikake, so check if you need to prepare one yourself.
If you're planning to make fan props handmade, designs using mizuhiki or washi paper with a Japanese feel are stylish.
Your partner will likely appreciate the ease of use over overly cute designs.
➡【Rakuten】You can buy white fans for DIY from 108 yen!
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ② Bouquet
Speaking of bouquets for kimono pre-shoots, round, ball-shaped bouquets were standard, but…
Recently, clutch bouquets or swags that match dresses have become popular ♡
Bouquets coordinated to match the kimono can serve as props for solo shots ♩
If the bride has a bouquet, and the groom has a hat that matches the hakama, cute shots where they hide their faces become possible.
Unlike balloons or stuffed animals, this creates a more adult and stylish atmosphere, which is recommended ♡
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ③ Mask
Another unique photo shoot accessory for kimono pre-shoots is a mask.
Many couples are incorporating masks like Hyottoko, Okame, and kitsune, which you might see sold at summer festivals, as shooting props.
It’s fun to take a few shots as accents, giving an off-shot feel ♡
Ideal for brides in shiro-muku with a watabōshi.
➡【Rakuten】You can buy white fans for DIY from 328 yen!
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ④ Calligraphy
One of the classic shots for kimono pre-shoots is a calligraphy shot holding calligraphy.
☑ "We got married"
☑ "Happy New Year"
☑ "We have become a couple"
☑ Phrases that can be used for New Year's cards, along with each person's names are recommended ♩
If you're not confident in your writing, there are services that allow you to use calligraphy-style fonts *
➡ Do you know the site【Web Calligraphy】where you can create kimono pre-shoot accessories?
This year marks the first year of the Reiwa era, so many couples are preparing a calligraphy piece featuring "Reiwa" ♡
It's an item that couples getting married in the Reiwa era should definitely prepare.
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ⑤ Couple Amulet
An amulet wishing for a happy marriage, the couple amulet ♡ Many couples visit a shrine for matchmaking or a happy marriage as a date before the pre-shoot to receive one.
It’s a popular item for hand shots.
It leaves memories even after the pre-shoot.
While “Yorisoi-mamori” in Nogizaka, Tokyo is popular, there are wonderful couple amulets available at shrines across the country.
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ⑥ Alphabet Parts
Here’s another recommended shooting item for hand shots ♩
Alphabet parts to create phrases like "LOVE" or "FOR EVER."
A classic shot involves the bride placing alphabet parts in her palm, gently wrapped by the groom’s hands from behind.
Representing the letter "O" with wedding rings or engagement rings adds a special touch ♡
Don't forget bridal nails when taking hand shots.
Kimono Pre-Shoot Accessory ⑦ Chair Signs
Lastly, we introduce a wedding item from overseas weddings, chair signs.
Photos holding chair signs saying "Bride" and "Groom" could also serve as materials for profile books and videos.
Stylish designs are available online, making it a bonus that DIY is not necessary ♡
➡【Rakuten】Check out chic chair signs starting from 1500 yen
