Must-haves with Your Partner: Four Classic Traditional Accessories ♩
However, when it comes to traditional accessories like parasols and fans, it can be difficult to decide which to choose. For you brides-to-be, here are four classic traditional items that pair perfectly with colorful kimonos or white wedding kimonos ♩
Item ① Garland *
First up is the garland * The garland is a classic item, isn't it? ♡ Holding the ends with your partner and smiling at each other creates a lovely and intimate shot *
The words "Just married" are cute, but for traditional pre-shoots, we recommend using phrases like "We got married" or "Thank you" on the garland ♩

Item ② Parasol *
Speaking of traditional items, the parasol is very popular ♡ The charm of the parasol is definitely how well it matches colorful kimonos and formal hakama attire ♩ It adds a distinctly Japanese elegance to your photos *
A love-parasol shot with a bangasa has a cute atmosphere * Some photo studios may even loan them out, so be sure to check in advance ♡
The parasol can be used not just for holding but also for placing down * Using a simple patterned parasol will enhance the colorful kimono while creating an overall festive atmosphere ♩
Item ③ Paper Balloon *
Next, we have the paper balloon ♩ Many of you might have memories of playing with these as kids, right? ♡ A classic pose of the couple playing with paper balloons in a room that overlooks a garden is a sweet shot *♡
A gentle pose inflating the paper balloon is also popular ♩ The slight downward gaze of the couple adds a fresh touch that is heartwarming ♡ This shot has a wonderful contrast against the colorful kimono and formal hakama ♩
Item ④ Origami Cranes *
The lucky crane, also known as the married couple crane, has long been a part of weddings ♩ Many couples take shots with origami cranes hoping to stay close forever *
A shot where colorful origami cranes are thrown like a shower ♩ It’s like a Japanese confetti shower!
Using perspective to focus on the cranes instead of the bride and groom creates a stylish blurred photo.
In this photo, the two cranes in the foreground are facing each other * It almost represents the couple in the background, and it’s just lovely… ♡
