It's Not Just Plain White - Coordinate Beautifully ♩
Hello. I'm Natsuko, the producer of the bridal kimono specialty store 'CUCURU' in Aoyama. Many brides-to-be who want to look cute in traditional Japanese attire come to CUCURU from all over the country ♡
Among bridal outfits, the number one desired costume for brides-to-be is the [shiro-muku]. The term [muku] means pure and unblemished, which is why the shiro-muku represents the intention to [adapt to the family background of the partner] ◎
As the name suggests, shiro-muku is pure white, which unfortunately leads many brides to think that "anything worn looks the same." However, CUCURU's shiro-muku has such a rich variety that it overturns this common misconception ♡ Let me introduce you to the charm of CUCURU's shiro-muku ♩

\The Charm of CUCURU's Shiro-Muku/③ Original Headpieces Made Specifically for Shiro-Muku*
CUCURU offers headpieces specifically designed for shiro-muku, and many brides are purchasing multiple pieces due to their cuteness ♡ They are also popular because they can be matched with the wedding dress worn on the actual wedding day*
CUCURU takes pride in the rich variety of shiro-muku available ◎ However, even with plenty of cute accessories and headpieces, it can be hard to know how to use them… Next, I will introduce five key points of the shiro-muku dresses you should consider when coordinating*
Let’s Create a Wonderful Coordination ♩ Five Key Points of Shiro-Muku*
There are five important points to consider for shiro-muku coordination. The first is the 'kakeshita', which is the layered undergarment visible under the shiro-muku in a beautiful young leaf green color. The kakeshita greatly influences the impression of the overall coordination. While most salons provide a basic white kakeshita with the shiro-muku, at CUCURU, you can choose your own kakeshita ♡
The second point is the 'haneri' adorned at the collar, featuring white hand embroidery on a red background. The haneri is a crucial point, close to the face, which receives the most attention from guests. From hundreds of options, find a haneri that enhances your skin tone beautifully or one that tightens the overall look ♩
The third point is the 'bride's five-piece set' located at the chest, which features cranes embroidered on red fabric. This essential set includes the 'hakoseko' (the pouch), 'kaiken' (a dagger), 'obiage' (a decorative sash), 'kakaeobi' (an inner obi), and a fan called 'suehiro'. These five items are crucial for perfecting the coordination ◎ Pay careful attention to these details without compromise*
The fourth point is the obi, which features green and gold visible between the layers of the kimono. At CUCURU, you can freely choose your obi, so please find your favorite one ♩
The fifth point is the stylish 'bridal zori' (sandals) for the feet. Any girl feels uplifted when wearing cute shoes, right? We have a variety of colorful zori to cater to that feminine spirit ♡
I have introduced five key points of shiro-muku coordination ♡ Now, let’s take a look at some actual coordination examples ♩
