"Wedding Canvas: A Special Feature on Real Bride Experiences with Canvas Art Ceremonies"

Ceremony Trends in 2021 ♡

Hello, I'm Haruno Tsuzaki, editor-in-chief of marry＊

There are several ways to create a guest-participation wedding certificate (such as finger stamp types or heart drop types), but the trend that I feel most strongly lately is the performance called "wedding canvas" or "canvas art ceremony" ♡

Before the ceremony, set up a canvas, paints, brushes, and samples in the welcome space like this, and have all the guests add a stroke (either vertical or horizontal) to complete the art... that’s the flow ♡

(You can also give meaning to the paint colors by combining them with questions like "What is important in married life?" ♩)

The completed canvas art, like any other wedding certificate, is finished by having the bride and groom sign it during the ceremony and then showcased ♡

This may be the biggest trend of "marriage certificates that can be displayed at home" we've seen so far＊

The first person to likely implement this performance item in Japan was this bride.

@mi____na0608 ♡

@mi____na0608's post became a hot topic on Instagram, and in the past few months, the number of brides choosing the wedding canvas art performance has significantly increased! ♡

So in this article, for those who want to do this performance,

✅ Let's discuss what colors to use.

✅ See how others have completed it.

I’ll introduce many examples＊

Examples of Setup Space＊

Let's take a look at how to display the wedding canvas marriage certificate ♩

Be sure to capture the guests painting as well ♡

(If you want to document this well, it's best to have two photographers.)

By the way ♡

The great thing about guest-participation performances is that what finishes it is left to the mood and chance of each guest at that time.

However, since this is your very own marriage certificate,

Even if it relies on others, it’s human nature to want it to turn out as close to your ideal image as possible...

To ensure it turns out as envisioned, some people add this kind of note:

【Example of note】

✅ Please just add a single stroke (one scroll) either vertically or horizontally.

✅ An imperfect touch can be stylish, so it’s okay if the paint isn’t too thick! ♡

And more.

It’s essential to use fast-drying acrylic paint!

(Since you’ll be layering colors multiple times in a short time, it must not smudge!)

The creator, @mi____na0608, had a friend stay near the canvas to assist so guests could create visually appealing canvas art.

(They acted as the guiding hand saying things like "Please add color here in this way~!")

At the end, it seems they also added colors for balance.

This resulted in the marriage certificate.

As time went on, when they took maternity photos, they recreated scenes from their wedding.

Not only is there the marriage certificate, but there’s also the cake and heart balloons...!

Isn’t that amazing??

(Here are the photos from the wedding ♡)

Exciting and Anticipatory Performances ♡

While items that look wedding-like have a sense of specialness, they can often seem out of place once brought home.

In this respect, this wedding canvas is lovely as it can be displayed at home without any sense of incongruity.

Even when guests come over, they might think, "Oh! Is this from the wedding??" rather than just seeing it as "Oh, they have fashionable art in their home~."

Please give it a try! ♡
