Born as a Japanese, I definitely want to wear traditional attire ♡

I admire wearing a wedding dress and having a chapel wedding, but... since I was born in Japan, I want to wear a shiro-muku and have a "Japanese" wedding, such as a Shinto ceremony, right? ♡

【Q.】What about the ring exchange ceremony during a traditional wedding?

But what happens to the classic wedding ceremony of exchanging rings during a Shinto ceremony...? The answer is, "During a Shinto ceremony, it’s totally okay to exchange rings or skip it!"

【A.】I definitely want to exchange rings ♡

Some couples choose to exchange rings at the reception instead of during the Shinto ceremony, but if it's up to me, I'd love to exchange them during the Shinto ceremony! Every woman wants to fill their ideal vision as much as possible ♩

Let's make a traditional ring pillow from scratch＊

If I'm going to exchange rings during the Shinto ceremony, I really want to prepare a super cute traditional ring pillow! Let me introduce a very festive and adorable ring pillow made with 'Masu' (square wooden cup) that I recommend＊

What is "Masu"? ♡

First, do you know what 'Masu' is? Masu is a tool used for exchanging sake during celebratory occasions. The 'Masu,' which has a festive origin, is a perfect motif for a joyous wedding ♡
