Bridal Shower Decorations You Can Do at Home ♡
A "Bridal Shower" to Celebrate Your Friend's Marriage with Your Friends ♡
It's a casual party held among friends before the wedding♩
This is a common scene in overseas dramas, where rooms are decorated with balloons, or it takes place by the pool in the garden ♡ (Since it's an event that originated in the United States, it's worth noting that the homes look lavish and enviable…!)
Even if you do a bridal shower in Japan, it will typically be held in someone’s home,
Since it's not common to decorate someone else’s bed or pool in Japan, it’s typical to do it in a living or dining space.
This can limit your decoration space, and when you think, "Let’s plan a bridal shower!" you might not know what to do... I've experienced this myself.
So in this article, I’m going to introduce stylish and cute bridal shower ideas from our neighbor "Korea," rather than the lavish bridal showers in the U.S. or Europe ♡
Strictly speaking, bridal showers in Korea are often held in rental or party spaces (with party planners available to handle decorations!),
but there are many ideas that seem reproducible in an ordinary Japanese home, so feel free to reference them♩
