Say Goodbye to Wedding Dress Dilemmas! A Collection of Perfect Reception Ideas for Japanese Weddings ♡

≪Japanese Wedding≫ I want to know about reception performances ♡

Many brides choose to wear traditional Japanese attire like "iro-uchikake" instead of a colored dress for their reception ♡ The glamorous and slightly nerve-wracking feeling that comes with wearing a bridal kimono is a dream for Japanese brides ♩

But when wearing a kimono for the reception, what kind of performance should we do to make it exciting...?

＼Problem-solving／ Here are some traditional performance ideas ♩

Since you’re wearing the finest attire as a Japanese person, it would be a shame to do the same performances as those wearing dresses! “Japanese” performances at the reception are rare, so your guests will surely feel special too ♡

Here are some heartwarming reception performances perfect for a Japanese wedding＊

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 1／ Entering with a "bangasa" (Japanese umbrella)

First, let’s consider an entrance performance idea for the couple after the outfit change＊ Entering while holding a "bangasa", a must-have item for pre-wedding photos in traditional attire, will make you look like actors! The reception venue will undoubtedly light up with excitement ♡ Start the entrance by hiding your faces, then reveal them simultaneously while bowing. It will be a very touching moment ♩

Collaborate with the venue staff to dim the lights and illuminate the couple hiding behind the bangasa ♡ With an atmosphere reminiscent of a movie scene, your guests will surely be thrilled＊

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 2／ Entering with a rickshaw

The moment you enter, the venue will be enveloped in smiles! The idea of entering with a rickshaw is also very interesting ♩ It’s great for the couple to ride together, pulled by a professional, or for the bride to ride while the groom pulls her—both options are wonderful ♡

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 3／ "Kagamimochi" breaking

This is a classic performance for Japanese weddings! Using a small "komodaru", breaking the "kagamimochi" is a lot of fun ♡ If you make the barrel design cute with flower patterns, it will create a very stylish atmosphere ♩

Everyone can cheer "Yoi-sho!" as you both break the "kagamimochi" together, creating a perfect opportunity for memorable photos ♡

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 4／ "Daruma" eye-painting

Instead of cutting the cake, it could be fun to declare your wishes in front of the guests and paint one eye of a "daruma" together ♡ This is also auspicious, making it an appealing choice for couples having a winter wedding＊

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 5／ Aqua Ring

An Aqua Ring is an enchanting performance item where you place a sheet that dissolves in water into a glass set on the table, creating puffs of smoke that reveal patterns like flowers, almost like magic ♡

The beautiful and refreshing Aqua Ring has recently become very popular ♩ If you choose designs featuring autumn leaves or cherry blossoms, it will be perfect for a traditional wedding ♡

＼Japanese Performance ♡ 6／ Crane Shower

While flower showers and ribbon showers are standard performances when the couple exits, let’s celebrate with a crane shower for a traditional wedding ♩ While showers are typically done during the ceremony, doing it at the reception is also lovely＊

The cranes fluttering down resemble flying in the sky ♩ Since they match well with the groom's hakama and bride's uchikake, they will also look great in photos ♡

Let’s enjoy a "Japanese" reception performance ♡!

How was that?? Here are some slightly rare traditional Japanese reception performances that you rarely get to see＊ They are all fun and sure to liven up the venue, so why not challenge yourself with a traditional wedding ♡

May it create wonderful memories ♩
