How about having a wedding ceremony at a shrine?

You've decided to register your marriage, but you’re wondering what to do about the wedding...

What if you think about having a wedding at a shrine???

I'm 27 this year, and I’ve been seeing more friends around me getting married, but

"I don’t have the image of having a traditional wedding ceremony in a conventional wedding venue."

"Especially with the recent COVID-19 situation, I don’t really feel the urge to have a conventional wedding like before; it might be nice to do it with just close people."

"Honestly, I don't really know which chapel is good or bad, and in the end, I think all of them are somewhat lovely. Maybe choosing a regular wedding is the hardest part...?"

I often hear these kinds of conversations.

It's true that when we think of weddings, we picture a glamorous party with lots of guests celebrating, but

it may be wonderful to completely change your perspective and consider a wedding at a shrine.

This is because a wedding ceremony at a shrine is unconnected to extravagance or flamboyance; it is solemn, practical, and dignified.

Rather than getting lively with a large crowd, the main purpose is to vow love to the deities in a traditional manner.

Moreover, shrines are typically rooted in the local community, so it’s common to receive blessings from passersby in the precincts, with phrases like "Congratulations" or "Wishing you happiness."

This integration into the community allows you to feel the naturalness of marriage, intertwined with history, fate, place, and town, making a wedding at a shrine truly special.

Considering this, unlike the sparkling standard wedding or a simplified shrine ceremony in a hotel,

having an authentic shrine wedding ceremony at a long-standing shrine in the city offers a high-quality celebration that is suitable for life’s milestones ❤️

But how do you apply for it?

"A wedding at a shrine does sound appealing."

"Then I might as well give it a try."

If you think that way, the first step is to look for a shrine ♩

However, there are so many shrines, and aside from famous ones, it’s unclear whether they even perform wedding ceremonies.

When I check the websites of the shrines I know, there might be a wedding page, but is it really efficient to inquire one by one...?

I believe you may encounter such dilemmas.

Therefore, I definitely recommend checking out Couture Naoko Wedding ♡

Couture Naoko is well-known for its dress salon and resort wedding, but they also introduce shrines where you can hold ceremonies as part of their business.

They handle everything from outfits, hair and makeup, to photography, all in one place as a production company.

Furthermore, after a wedding ceremony at a shrine, it’s common to move to another location for the reception (dinner party), and they can recommend the perfect venue based on the number of guests, which is very convenient.

If you’re considering a shrine wedding, this is the first company I’d want to suggest you contact!

Wedding fairs scheduled to be held simultaneously in Tokyo and Osaka＊

At Couture Naoko Wedding, there will be a Japanese wedding consultation fair in Tokyo and Osaka for three days only on March 26 (Friday), 27 (Saturday), and 28 (Sunday).

This event allows you to visit actual shrines and experience information and experiences that you can't find online or on Instagram all at once.

The contents will differ slightly between Tokyo and Osaka, so let me introduce it in detail ♡

At the consultation fair held at Couture Naoko's Ginza main store in Tokyo, you will be taken on a shrine tour of Shiba Daijingu on the day of the fair.

Shiba Daijingu is one of the Tokyo Ten Shrines (the ten shrines recognized by Emperor Meiji as representatives of Tokyo) and is a popular shrine with a history of 1000 years.

It’s quite a rare experience to actually enter the main shrine and consult about and get quotes for a wedding ceremony.

Additionally, you can quickly check the lineup of outfits from popular brands like KIYOKO HATA.

Couture Naoko offers a collection of stylish and beautiful dresses and traditional Japanese wear that make you want to say, "I want to try this on! It’s so cute!"

I have visited before, and it was a very beautiful and majestic shrine with a rich history.

Additionally, as a special offer for attendees, you can try on outfits from KIYOKO HATA and take commemorative photos.

I might want to have a wedding ceremony at a shrine ♡

A wedding ceremony in a shrine that is mystical, solemn, and devoid of decorations, exudes dignity.

Given the current times, it seems less likely to become crowded, and a calm wedding at a serene shrine will surely create lasting memories for both the newlyweds and their families, making them think, "I’m glad we did it here."

It’s recommended not only for those who are interested in shrine weddings

but also for those who think, "I don’t have strong preferences about weddings," or "A conventional wedding doesn’t resonate with me."

First, go to an event where you can gain knowledge about shrine weddings and experience their atmosphere firsthand to deepen your understanding ♡

Both Tokyo and Osaka will hold limited fairs on March 26 (Friday), 27 (Saturday), and 28 (Sunday)!
