Writing your love story (dates of when you met or when you got proposed to ♡) on the mirror is also popular.
Additionally, you might want to write a small message for the guests, the wedding theme, or your favorite English phrases.
Must-Have Welcome Item 3: Photo Frame
A photo frame is an absolute essential in the welcome space.
It's standard to display many of your couple's photos in the welcome space.
Gather photo frames that match the venue's decor and the vibe of the wedding you are aiming for! ♡
Budget-friendly and stylish photo frames are popular from IKEA, Flying Tiger, and 3coins.
A photo frame that can display multiple photos together like this is also lovely.
It can become a centerpiece item in the welcome space on its own.
Having fewer, simpler pieces can create a cohesive look compared to displaying many.
Photo frames can be used not just for photos, but also for love stories and social media signs as well.
You won't regret collecting many! ♡
Must-Have Welcome Item 4: Candles
Candles, which can be regarded as the supporting role in the welcome space.
Simply arranging simple candles among other items can enhance the stylishness of the space.
If you think the welcome space looks a bit sparse, try adding some candles or candle holders.
Popular places for candles and holders are IKEA and Søstrene Grene.
Must-Have Welcome Item 5: Monochrome and Sepia Photos
Displaying many square monochrome or sepia photos in the welcome space is a recent trend.
It creates a chic and sophisticated atmosphere! ♡
By processing photos in monochrome or sepia, you can create a cohesive look even with pictures taken in different settings like Western-style and traditional Japanese attire.
A popular item for displaying monochrome and sepia photos is IKEA's Mealheden.
It's an item that comes with gold wire and clips.
The Dragnes collage frame, which has a negative-like appearance, is also stylish.
If balancing photo frames alone proves difficult, utilizing uniquely shaped frames like Mealheden and Dragnes collage frames is recommended! ♡
Must-Have Welcome Item 6: Balloons
Balloons are essential in party scenes.
They can add height, allowing you to decorate not just the tables but the entire space beautifully.
If displayed in abundance, they can also become a photo spot! ♡
If you display the round bubble balloons, which are a bit different from ordinary balloons, it will create a cute welcome space! ♡
