Way to Elevate #1 Choose a Customizable Dress That Can Be Used Again!
For brides who want to be particular about their details, we recommend choosing a bridesmaid dress that can be customized in terms of color and material.
If you can gift a dress design that can be worn on days other than the wedding, the bridesmaids will surely be delighted.
A recommended brand is éclat.
This shop has quickly responded to the rare demand for bridesmaids in Japan. The variety of dress designs is also appealing.
Here is a popular design where you can choose the color of the dress and the waistbelt as you like. It would be beautiful to match it with the wedding’s theme color.
With over 200 dress designs and up to 80 color combinations, you can order a dress tailored to your preferences!

Way to Elevate #2 Choose a Rental Dress That Can Be Returned by Delivery for Convenience!
Renting dresses is a cost-effective option as it alleviates financial burdens compared to purchasing a custom dress for everyone.
However, some might worry about finding something that suits their taste when renting. But don't worry!
At DRESS PEOPLE, recommended by many future brides, you can find a wide range of sensibly selected dresses for bridesmaids, from original designs to curated selections.
They select dress brands from both domestic and international sources, so you can find long and short dresses in a broad spectrum of colors.

Way to Elevate #3 Gift Hair and Makeup to the Bridesmaids!
It's common for bridesmaids to do their own makeup or go to a salon at their own expense.
It seems that a new trend is emerging where brides give hair and makeup as a gift to express gratitude towards the friends helping them.
When everyone looks beautiful, the spirits of the bridesmaids will surely rise!
Way to Elevate #4 Give a Little Gift to Bridesmaids Alongside the Wedding Favors!
For instance, if you’re having a wedding in Hawaii and asking friends to be bridesmaids, or if you have a wedding in Hawaii and then a party in Japan, how about gifting a stylish Hawaiian souvenir if you have a chance to go there?
You might consider popular items from the Epicure shop inside Neiman Marcus in Ala Moana, like the champagne truffles from the royal warrant chocolate store "Chocolatier Walker,” or
“Hale Kula’s pancake mix” that allows you to recreate the fluffy pancakes from a prestigious hotel,
Or handcrafted chocolates from Kahala Hotel, which come in dark, milk, and white flavors and are so delicious that many buy them as treats for themselves.
Way to Elevate #5 Choose a Highly Tasteful Florist for Bouquets and Decorations!
How about the idea of not only having a bouquet for the bouquet toss but also sharing some of the flowers from the stage decor with your bridesmaids? Beautiful flowers can multiply their smiles.
"Les Milfeuille," a florist known for creating exquisite bouquets that finely discern the characteristics of flower color and branches, can accommodate all kinds of orders. They have received excellent feedback from brides for their modern designs infused with the essence of Paris.
