Storybook-style Profile Book*
I think it would be wonderful to hand out a [storybook-style] profile book at the weddings of brides who work in nurseries or kindergartens, or in jobs related to children.♡
Storybooks evoke a warm, cute, and youthful atmosphere, but
creating an original storybook-like design yourself likely requires creativity and elements of fantasy, making it more challenging than simply placing photographs. If you’re not someone who regularly engages with storybooks, it might be quite difficult to express that storybook quality skillfully...!
So if a storybook-style profile book is handed out at a wedding, it conveys a strong sense of effort and dedication. It also gives a bit of insight into the bride's profession, sparking excitement!♡
This is a design I would love for brides in children-related professions to challenge themselves to create.♩
Examples from Brides***
This bride designed her profile book with the title “あすかとみずほのけっこんしき” in hiragana, along with some illustrations.
The back cover includes a barcode and words like "800 yen + love," which gives it an unmistakably storybook vibe.
The inside pages feature clever touches, like referring to the profile introduction page as “登場人物” (characters) and more.♡
This bride, inspired by the beluga of Nagoya Port Aquarium, designed a dolphin character for the cover♡
Using animals really enhances the storybook element!♡
This little dolphin appears on every page, delivering an important gift to the bride and groom as part of the story.
The ability to create a narrative is also wonderful!♩
Finally, this bride's profile book has a chic atmosphere reminiscent of foreign storybooks♡
The groom is represented by a bear and the bride by a cat. Inside, the story revolves around the two arriving at the church, preparing for the ceremony, and starting a new life together—just like a real storybook!♩
You’ll want to cherish and store this profile book on your bookshelf at home.
You might be able to create something like this!♡
If I were to create a storybook-style profile book, I thought it might be good to draw inspiration from famous storybooks I read as a child!
Titles like “Guri and Gura” or “We Are Friends” feature two characters, making them great references.♩
