I want to find a standout item to decorate the welcome space ♡
The welcome space is the first place guests will notice, and it’s an opportunity for the bride and groom to express their hobbies, likes, and sense of style. Therefore, I want to decorate it incredibly stylishly ♡
However, since decoration items are often small and detailed, it can be quite difficult to put everything together with good taste. At times like this, if there is ‘one impactful standout item,’ it can come together nicely ♡ This time, I will introduce standout items that are perfect for the welcome space, which is becoming a topic of discussion overseas*
The wooden 3D puzzle 'kigumi' is incredibly stylish ♡
'Kigumi' is a wooden model developed by a Japanese toy manufacturer. It has gained attention overseas for its no glue or scissors needed feature, as well as its intricate gimmicks and expressions that are unique to wood.
'Kigumi' has many cute small motifs like animals and small items, but the series I recommend for weddings is the [Buildings] series. There are many impressive items that become great interior decorations, such as the large Eiffel Tower and airplanes*
