Learning from Senior Brides: Coordinating to Impress Guests with "Wonderful ♡" Styles ◎
Hello. I am Natsuko, the producer of 'CUCURU,' a kimono specialty shop for brides in Aoyama. Many brides from all over the country visit CUCURU with the desire to become "adorable in traditional wear♡".
The most frequently asked question from brides who come to CUCURU is, "Can I really achieve a cute coordination on the day?" or "Is it stylish because it's from a magazine or photos?" * While the catalog is extremely stylish, many brides feel nervous about whether they can create a stylish coordinate for themselves…
But at CUCURU, there's no need to worry♡ You can achieve stylish coords that look like they jumped out from the pages of a book◎ This time, I will introduce the coordination of senior brides from CUCURU♩

Focused on Sophisticated Color Usage ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ① Hikifurisode
I absolutely love the world of CUCURU♡ This is what a bride who traveled from Kansai told me, and her focus was on 'color usage.' This bride is a hair and makeup artist, so her attention to color is particularly high◎ The result of her stylish coordination, which was meticulously crafted, is this coordination featuring a light blue-green as the key color ♡
For the obi, she chose a beautiful [Fukura-ori] with a white base and gold thread. Don't you think a gorgeous obi knot enhances the charm of the hikifurisode even more? I was delighted to receive reports of rave reviews from guests♡
Focused on Pattern × Color Accessories ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ② Iro-uchikake & Shiromuku
This is the coordination of a senior bride who had a pre-shoot at CUCURU♪ She combined particular accessories with a highly popular classic patterned kimono, achieving an advanced style of pattern × color coordination ♡ The secret to CUCURU's popularity is that you can combine to this extent while still keeping it elegant◎
The shiromuku coordination is also skillfully done♡ She chose red lines, a shibori underskirt, and a headpiece in red crepe ribbon♪ It's not just about the patterns; the addition of colors completed her dream bride coordination♡
Focused on Unique Combinations ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ③ Iro-uchikake
"I absolutely want to wear this kimono!!" This bride requested it after seeing CUCURU's Instagram. Since she has an extraordinarily cute smile, her coordination was packed with individuality♩ She effortlessly styled a very glamorous combination♡
The overall balance looks like this. The large white headpiece stands out beautifully against the vibrant kimono◎
Focused on HAPPY Aura ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ④ Iro-uchikake
This bride visited with her wonderfully lovely mother. The shop was filled with a HAPPY aura from the moment she started trying on kimonos at CUCURU♡ The coordination of this lovely senior bride, raised with love, was an elegant outfit that made everyone who saw it feel happy.
To enhance the beautifully painted patterns, she intentionally toned down the colors with this iro-uchikake◎ The coordination received full approval from her parents as well♡
Focused on Head Styling ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ⑤ Iro-uchikake & Shiromuku
The bride who asked, "I want to think about my styling for the day at the same time♡," received an offer from CUCURU's hair and makeup stylist. For her iro-uchikake, she adorned it with original art flowers, resulting in a very glamorous finish♡
For her shiromuku coordination, the bride chose a top hat* It’s a playful and truly lovely coordination, isn’t it?♡
Focused on Femininity ♡ Senior Bride Coordination ⑥ Iro-uchikake
The coordination features a vermillion kimono and a wisteria underskirt, highlighting transparency and femininity. The combination, which is not vivid but rather blends well with the skin tone, is extremely popular♡
The iro-uchikake showcases different colors when exposed to outside light, providing a different appearance* But above all, the wonderful thing is the smiles of this couple, right?♡
