A Comprehensive Summary of Tomomi Itano's Luxurious Weddings at the Palace Hotel Tokyo (Including Both Past Ceremonies) 💖
2024.12.21 published
Tomomi Itano's Wedding ♡
Former AKB member, currently managing two companies focusing on cosmetics and clothing, married to baseball player Keiji Takahashi, a pitcher for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. They have a 3-year-old daughter.
They registered their marriage on January 5, 2021, but held their wedding reception on December 9, 2024, after going through the pandemic!
The venue was the Palace Hotel Tokyo. It was held in a space that connected Aoi West and Aoi East, accommodating up to 400 people.
Photos!
First, her beauty.
It seems there was no ceremony this time, and it was impressive that she wore a veil (a long one with pearls!) throughout the reception.
Notably, Tomomi chose to wear a necklace, unlike many brides these days. It looks great on her! ♡
The anemone bouquet was also a surprise. (Just my personal opinion...!)
Baby-chan
Their daughter, born in 2021, also looks adorable in her dress! ♡
Friends
The escorts for the dress change was Akiko Maeda and Tomomi Kasai, who shared youth together in AKB.
The runway scene felt more like a Tokyo Girls Collection rather than a wedding reception...!
Groom Keiji Takahashi also changed from a black tuxedo to a white tuxedo.
(The person in the blue dress is singer miwa. It seems she sang the couple's memorable song "Hikari e," the theme song from a drama they both love during the reception.)
*Here is Keiji Takahashi's tuxedo before the outfit change.
The scene for the entrance after the outfit change was also lovely. The bouquet was also changed.
Perhaps because there wasn't a ceremony (though we can't say for sure), a runway was set up in the reception hall. The entrance was covered with curtains.
Entrance scene. The train of the dress is lovely! ♡
After-Party
A lively after-party was also held! ♡
In a tight mini dress, white lace socks, and a ribbon-design veil and gloves.
In an idol-like styling, she truly looks fantastic.
【Additional Wedding Information 1】 Wedding photos were also taken in Hawaii ♡
They held a ceremony in Hawaii in 2022.
This was also uploaded to YouTube! ♡
The photos were taken at the Moana Chapel inside the Moana Surfrider with the cooperation of Arise Wedding.
Photoshoots were also held at various locations.
【Additional Wedding Information 2】
Tomomi and Keiji registered their marriage in January 2021.
Around that time, they also held a family ceremony at the Tokyo Kaikan.
(In July 2022, Tomomi announced it on her Instagram.)
Since the wedding was held during the baseball off-season, and there are photos of the Marunouchi illuminations, she mentioned it was "cold..." in the caption, so it likely took place between November 5, 2020, and February 14, 2021.
(↑ This was the period for the 2020 Marunouchi illuminations.)
Although she didn't specify when the ceremony took place, it was during the pandemic, so they might have avoided announcing it right after the event.
At that time, they held a ceremony at the Tokyo Kaikan chapel and had a family-only dining gathering at the reception venue.
Even with a small number, the floral decorations in the chapel were very luxurious.
Tomomi herself shared this on Instagram:

"We decided on the chapel (Tokyo Kaikan) because we liked it, but due to the current times, we could only have a family dining gathering without a reception. So we had the place decorated beautifully with flowers for our once-in-a-lifetime ceremony 💐🤍💍
For the chapel flowers, since it was a wedding, I asked for White × Green 🌿🤍
The dining gathering had my favorite rosy brown color.
And the table decoration was done in Gold × Gray.
It was all so cute 💗💭

It seems she chose the dress from Mirror Mirror.
(The overall production was by an haute couture design team.)
Tomomi's Bride Look is Adorable ♡
Looking back, Tomomi Itano has always chosen
✅ Thin strap
✅ Slender line
✅ Soft material
wedding dresses.
She must really love that style! ♡
Every wedding style she has showcased is incredibly cute, radiating the sparkle of an idol.
On Instagram, she posted this!
For those who, like Tomomi, got married right at the start of the pandemic, may have wanted to hold a reception but couldn’t, and then had a child, perhaps thinking, "Oh, I really wanted to have a wedding... but it’s too late now..." might relate to this.
Even after being married for a while and as the child grows a bit.
It feels like Tomomi Itano has taught us that a lovely and wonderful wedding can still happen! ♡
Tomomi Itano and Keiji Takahashi, wishing you eternal happiness ♡
