Let's Go for a Japanese Design for the Ring Pillow♡

If you're going for traditional attire, you should also stick to a Japanese design for the ring pillow, aiming for a total wedding coordination♡

What Kind of Designs Are There?

Many brides-to-be make their own ring pillows! Let's check out the various designs available and create a beautiful Japanese-style ring pillow♩

Here are some Japanese ring pillow styles ranging from simple to intricate♡

1: Flower Motif＊

A ring pillow featuring a big flower and ribbons that catches the eye, with attention to the ribbon pattern—it's so cute♡ Recommended flowers for a Japanese ring pillow include dahlia and chrysanthemum＊

A colorful and pop ring pillow in yellow, purple, green, and red, where the spots for the rings differ in color between the bride and groom, is a nice touch♩

Placing the rings on two ribbons in a bouquet makes it feel as if the couple is in a flower field together♡

2: Cushion Type＊

This cute ring pillow features Snoopy and friends in traditional attire♩ It would be wonderful to exchange rings while being watched over by them♡

The couple's initials are embroidered on the bottom left of the cushion—so lovely! The large ribbon with a Japanese pattern is also adorable, and the design resembling an obi knot feels very traditional wedding-like♩

The gentle color combinations of flowers and ribbons give a soft impression♡ The rings are securely tied with the ribbon, allowing for safe storage＊

3: Boxed Design＊

Not just cushions, but ring pillows in masu (square wooden boxes) or other boxes can be kept on display even after the exchange, which is delightful♡

The round box filled with flowers looks like a Western-style ring pillow at first glance, but the presence of mizuhiki (decorative cords) instantly gives it a Japanese feel＊

A ring pillow in a wooden box with a simple design consisting only of a cushion and mizuhiki looks very mature and sophisticated＊

4: Ring Pillow in a Masu＊
