Let's Prepare Matching Items ♡
I want to create a fun, party-like wedding reception where all the guests can enjoy! For brides who are thinking this way, here’s a recommended idea to enhance the unity of the venue.
That is to prepare matching items for all the guests ♡
When everyone wears the same items, it creates a sense of unity and looks fantastic in photos. It feels like a "special party," and the guests' excitement will definitely rise ♩
In foreign countries, it’s not uncommon to specify a "dress code" to liven up the wedding party. However, dress codes are not a familiar custom in Japan, and it can feel rude to ask guests to buy clothes just for the occasion.
Therefore, many brides might hesitate to set a dress code...
But no need to worry ♩ By having the bride and groom prepare matching items, you can create a sense of unity in the guests' fashion without setting a dress code*
Matching items are easier to incorporate than a dress code and can serve as a lovely surprise gift for the guests ♩
So, what kind of items should you consider matching? This article introduces popular matching items for weddings*
Recommended Matching Item ① Rosettes
The first item to introduce is rosettes. You can place rosettes with guests' names printed on them in the welcome area as escort items or on the guest tables as name cards*
If all the guests wear colorful rosettes on their chests, group photos will definitely become more vibrant ♡
Preparing them can be quite a task, but many brides enjoy crafting them while thinking about their guests.

Recommended Matching Item ② Name Badge Brooches
A bride prepared star-shaped brooches with the guests' initials ♡ To ensure they can be reused after the wedding, she chose a simple design*
The stars were made by applying walnut varnish to star-shaped wooden boards purchased from minne and stamping initials on them. The paint used was an acrylic paint called milk paint. Each brooch has a clip on the back.
This is recommended for those looking for easy-to-make matching items ♡
Recommended Matching Item ③ Sunglasses
The easiest matching item to prepare is sunglasses ♡ They create a casual vibe, making them great for photo props or escort items during the reception ♩
There are various types of sunglasses, such as star-shaped and heart-shaped, so find your favorites! Changing the design based on groups or tables could also be fun ♡
Recommended Matching Item ④ Boutonnieres
A bride DIY’d boutonnieres for all the guests using artificial flowers. Since it was an autumn wedding, she chose a chic color scheme for the flowers ♩ The backside has pins or clips so that men can pin them to their collars, and women can wear them on their chests.
If everyone wears these boutonnieres, it will be like flowers blooming throughout the venue ♡
Recommended Matching Item ⑤ Bowties
Preparing different matching items for female and male guests is also wonderful ♡
These are the matching bowties intended for male guests. If everyone wears vibrant blue and yellow bowties, it creates a sense of unity like a team. All the male guests will feel like groomsmen ♩
Recommended Matching Item ⑥ Flower Rings
This is a matching item to prepare for female guests. Cute flower rings made from artificial flowers ♡
The ring base is wrapped with masking tape, and preserved flowers, tulle, baby’s breath, and mini stones are glued on with a hot glue gun.
While each one can be made easily, it must be quite a task to create enough for all the guests. Those who receive them will be overjoyed ♡
Recommended Matching Item ⑦ Bracelets and Wristlets
Here’s another recommended matching item for female guests. Since most female guests will wear sleeveless or short-sleeved dresses, bracelets will stand out ♡
Design the wristlets with plenty of artificial flowers or twig accessories to match the atmosphere and theme of the wedding*
