Bride's Essential Item: Handkerchief

During the wedding ceremony, there are many emotional moments like the reading of letters by the bride and the showing of VTRs. A handkerchief to wipe away tears is an essential item for the bride.♡

Because it’s a special day, I want a special handkerchief!♡

At a wedding, there are many scenes where you're wiping away tears, so surprisingly, handkerchiefs can appear in photos and videos. There are many wonderful brands for handkerchiefs, but since it's a special day, you'd want a handkerchief that is one of a kind!♡

You can even DIY a handkerchief! Here’s a simple DIY method for a unique "initial handkerchief" that looks just like one you bought!♡

＼Handkerchief DIY／ A pure white handkerchief is a must for a wedding! ♡ - Lace Patch Edition

Since it’s a wedding, I want a luxurious white handkerchief! But how do I create complex patterns?

In such cases, use a "lace patch." By simply ironing this lace patch onto a white handkerchief, you'll create an elegant handkerchief that looks like a store-bought product. Lace patches can easily be found in 100 yen shops like Seria or online!♡

It’s also lovely to make matching handkerchiefs in different colors for you and your partner! It’s hard to believe that it’s simply just been ironed on! The result is a luxurious handkerchief! ♩

＼Handkerchief DIY／ Let’s make the initials stand out since we’re doing it anyway!♡ - Embroidered Patch Edition

If you’re adding initials, you want them to stand out! By adding some color, the handkerchief will be useful even after the wedding. But I've never done embroidery, and it sounds difficult…

In that case, use "embroidered patches." They come with pre-embroidered initials, so all you have to do is iron them on! The embroidered initials come in various colors, fonts, and motifs. Let’s add your favorite initials! ♩
