Changing into a Kimono is Wonderful＊

The moment of changing outfits during a wedding is one of the most exciting moments in life, making women think about what kind of dress to wear and what kind of performance to have, even before they have any plans for marriage...♡

Should I go with a colored dress? What color should I choose? But then again, it might be nice to change into a white wedding dress... I want to try on various options ♡ These are the thoughts that many women have, but equally attractive and captivating is the traditional kimono♡

The richly textured and shimmering color-uchikake and kimono have a presence and glamour that can rival even the voluminous colored dresses.

Why not show your guests and family your beautiful kimono look during the reception? ♡

I Want Everyone to See My Traditional Look♡

While the dress is nice...

The groom also looks really great in a hakama...! Many seem to shine even compared to a tuxedo. What do you all think?

It does take time to change, but the transformation from a dress can be a complete 180 degrees.
