Must-Have Item for Brides ♡ Bouquet
The bouquet is a symbol of the proposal from him. It’s one of the essential wedding items for brides, right? ♩ Whether it's for entering the ceremony or bouquet tossing, it’s a shared feeling among brides around the world to choose the cutest bouquet available.*
When we think of bouquets, we usually associate them with wedding dresses... but even when wearing a color-dyed kimono or traditional attire, I want to brighten and liven up my look with flowers!
〔Kimono × Bouquet〕What Kind of Bouquets Go Well with Traditional Attire?
Cute and vibrant bouquets are a must-have for popular traditional weddings ♡ "But I'm worried if it's okay to use the same bouquet as when wearing Western-style attire...." For brides with such concerns, I’ll introduce four types of bouquets that suit traditional attire! ♩
Recommended Bouquet for Traditional Attire 1 ♡ Clutch Bouquet
The first bouquet I recommend is the clutch bouquet ♡ Smaller and more understated designs tend to suit color-dyed kimonos and white dresses better than larger bouquets. ♩ It's so graceful! ♡
This one is primarily white, arranged in a festive red and white color scheme for traditional attire, making it cute and celebratory ♡ A white bouquet with a white dress creates a pure and innocent impression. ♩
Holding the bouquet close to him makes my heart flutter ♡ Even with a long handle, the vertical shape of the clutch bouquet is recommended as it complements traditional attire!*
Recommended Bouquet for Traditional Attire 2 ♡ Mizuhiki Bouquet
Next is the mizuhiki bouquet. As the name suggests, the mizuhiki bouquet is designed with the shape of traditional Japanese decorative cord in mind. The mizuhiki symbolizes the thought of "never parting," which is lovely!*
Mizuhiki bouquets can be quite large like this one ♩ It’s big but not overly voluminous, and the lines of the mizuhiki create a clean impression. ♡
There are also bouquets with a crane shape added to the mizuhiki bouquet! The crane is called a “married crane” due to their close relationship, making it an auspicious item symbolizing a harmonious couple ♡ May you and your partner be loving forever with the mizuhiki and crane!*
Recommended Bouquet for Traditional Attire 3 ♡ Ball Bouquet
Next is the very popular ball bouquet ♩ The round shape that resembles a ball is so charming! The mizuhiki attached to the ball bouquet is also one of its recommended points.*
When held with both hands, the ball bouquet looks so lovely with its understated elegance ♡ It's wonderful to combine the noble color of purple with a purple ball bouquet!*
Recommended Bouquet for Traditional Attire 4 ♡ Folding Fan Bouquet
Lastly, I’d like to introduce the somewhat rare fan-shaped traditional bouquet. Speaking of traditional attire, a folding fan is essential. It’s becoming increasingly popular among brides who admire traditional weddings but still want to hold a floral item! The classic style is to decorate a gold folding fan with red flowers. ♩
Next is the type with just the handle of the fan decorated ♡ The simplicity of not decorating the fan part itself gives it a very elegant look! It matches beautifully with a blue kimono. ♡
There’s also this type of fan! It’s adorned with flowers throughout the fan area, creating an exceptionally colorful and vibrant look. The broader spread of the fan adds to its cuteness! ♡
I also discovered this romantic and European-style folding fan bouquet! Decorated with vintage cabochons on a vintage fan, it feels like stepping into Marie Antoinette's world. ♡
