I Want to Have a Night Wedding ♡

A night wedding that takes place from twilight to nighttime.

The space illuminated by candles and lights has a different charm compared to a bright daytime wedding, making it romantic and lovely.

In overseas weddings, it's common to have all the guests stay over and party for a whole day (or into the night), which naturally leads to night parties. As a result, you often see night weddings surrounded by lots of candles. However, in Japan, where it's not a culture to have midnight wedding receptions, there are transportation issues and accommodation problems, making it seem like there are limits to those who can hold a wedding during nighttime.

But!

While the number of such weddings may be small, there are indeed lovely evening to night weddings taking place in Japan. ♡

In this article, I will introduce some actual night weddings held by Japanese brides.

Check out how they decorated and staged their weddings for inspiration! ♡

🔸 Candle Decorations

This is a wedding at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo. ♡

There are candles on the guest tables. The venue has glass walls on three sides, providing a sparkling view of Tokyo's night skyline and Tokyo Tower.＊

This is a wedding venue in Fukuoka called "Budou no Ki."

Candles are arranged on the guest tables, and the grapevines on the ceiling sparkle with lights. ♡

The pool also glimmers, adding to the romantic atmosphere.

Balloon releases can also be done from the cruise ship. 🎈

A Night Wedding Could Be Great ♡

I hope you enjoyed this report on some wonderful night weddings in Japan.＊

A night wedding can create a sparkling and romantic ceremony that is completely different from one held during the day.

✅ Experience the atmospheres of both twilight and night.

✅ A sparkling space stands out beautifully.

✅ Wedding venue prices are often cheaper than during the day.

These are just a few of the benefits.

(For example, having a wedding on Friday night allows guests to attend after finishing work without impacting weekend plans, which often brings joy to attendees!)

If there are many guests coming from afar or if there are small children who might get sleepy, some consideration might be needed. However, if you think, "A night wedding sounds great!" it could be worth considering as it’s beautiful, and there are likely guests who would appreciate it. 🌛
