First, Choose a Notebook! ♡

First up is 'notebook selection' for the Wedding Notebook ♩ Popular among brides-to-be is a notebook made of 'craft paper' * It has no lines, so you can scrap and draw freely as you like! ♡

How to Create a "Wedding Notebook"? ♡

A Wedding Notebook is simply created by sticking magazine cutouts or printed images from the internet. * The key is to gather what the bride loves, what she wants to do at the wedding, and items she is interested in! ♡ When you can’t envision the wedding, it’s fine to stick anything that instantly says "I love this♡".

Let's get started on creating your "Wedding Notebook"! Here are some Wedding Notebooks made by actual brides-to-be ♩

＼How to Create a Wedding Notebook♡／① Dress & Tuxedo

First, stick pictures of the 'wedding dress' every bride can't do without! Also, stick pictures of the 'colored dress' you want to wear for the color change ♡ The time spent collecting dress photos is the most exciting part! ♡

When fittings begin, it’s also okay to stick photos of the dresses you tried on ◎ Keeping photos of the dresses you didn’t choose can make a lovely keepsake ♡ Additionally, recording the dresses you tried on in your notebook will help you decide when you're uncertain about which dress to choose! ♩

Not only hairstyles but also write down the hair accessories that match them and the colors or atmospheres you want to use in your makeup ♩ Having a Wedding Notebook makes it easier to communicate your image to the makeup artist, ensuring that you won’t say, "This isn't the image I had in mind..." ♡

There are so many types of flowers! There are many flower varieties and names that are unfamiliar. For things that are difficult to communicate verbally, having a "Wedding Notebook" will make it easier to convey the bride's vision! ♡

The space that guests first notice is the "Welcome Space" * What kind of welcome board will you use? What kind of welcome dolls should be placed? What decorations and objects should you use? Scrap many items you want to have in the Welcome Space! ♡
