The Hot Trend: “Local Props” ♡

The unique props are the “local props,” designed with a theme from the couple's hometown ♡

Currently, local props are trending among couples from regional areas ♡

What’s the Appeal of “Local Props”? ♡

The charm of local props lies in the fact that they do not just create unique photos＊

Topics about the local area provide a common theme to engage with anyone ♡

Local props can also serve as a tool for classmates and guests who have gathered for the wedding after a long time to quickly bond＊

Many brides must be thinking, “I want to prepare local props for my wedding to make it even more enjoyable!”＊

Next, let’s introduce some recommended designs for local props ♡

Recommended Design for “Local Props” ①

A classic design for local props is to write familiar phrases like "I love you," "I cherish you," or "Let's get married" in the local dialect＊

Expressing the same phrase in the respective dialects of the bride and groom introduces their hometowns as well ♩

The bride and groom in this case hail from Osaka and Hiroshima.

Just transforming "I love you" into dialect makes it feel even more special, doesn’t it? ♡

Designs that feature local mascots are also popular＊

With the boom of local mascots, there are various cute characters across Japan, such as Kumamon and Funassyi; let’s showcase them in props ♩

If there isn't a widely recognized mascot everyone knows, you can also use motifs that remind people of the local area ♡

For instance, for Okinawa, you could use a Shisa, and for Nagoya, a Kinshachi… Let's transform local landmarks or specialties into props!＊

Stylish props featuring the shape of the prefecture are also great and show a sense of humor.

Bonus: Local Photo Booth ♩

Although it's not a photo prop, here’s a photo booth overflowing with local pride!

The groom is from Furano, Hokkaido. Speaking of Hokkaido, there's the famous drama "Kita no Kuni kara."
