"Beyond Boards and Plates: Various Materials to DIY Your Dream Love Story!"

"Love Story" Preparation

Do you know what a "Love Story" item is that you can display at the welcome space? A love story shows the journey of two people from their meeting to their wedding (the couple's love story ♡) along with the dates.

It’s a wonderful idea to write down dates such as when you started dating, when the proposal was made, when you registered your marriage, and when the wedding ceremony took place, and showcase it to the guests ♡

"Love Story" is a popular item among brides to display at the welcome space.

Love stories can be created in various forms, such as printing them on paper and putting them in photo frames, or hand-writing them on a blackboard with markers.

In this article, we will introduce numerous types of love stories based on the materials used by previous brides to create them ♡

If you are preparing a love story, feel free to use this as a reference!＊

① Board-Type Love Story

The first one we will introduce is the "Love Story Board" where the love story is written on a board.

The main design style involves printing the love story on paper and placing it in an A4-sized photo frame, but you can also prepare it using various materials like cutting boards, blackboards, or wooden boards ♡

A popular trend among brides is attaching "Yorisohi-mamoru" (couple's protective charm) to the love story board ♩

Just like welcome boards, there are many design variations. Let's prepare a love story board that matches the theme of your wedding ♡

② Dish with Love Story - Love Story Dish

Next, we introduce the "Love Story Dish," which features the love story painted on a plate!

You can easily make it with a plate and a specialized pen. The specialized pen can be a "Raku Yaki Marker" available at 100 yen shops or a ceramic pen called "Oe-kaki Pen" sold at Muji.

The love story dish captures the attention of guests with the intriguing question, "What is written on this plate?" It adds a touch of elegance to the welcome space ♡

It is popular to lean it on a mini easel or place it inside a welcome trunk.

There are also brides who carved the love story into a transparent glass plate instead of a white ceramic one!

When engraving designs or texts onto glass, using a mini router available at 100 yen shops or home improvement stores works great.

This love story dish utilizes plates with color glass blended in such as green or blue, and when you hold it up to the light, it's incredibly beautiful ♡

③ Love Story Mirror

Mirrors have recently gained attention as a material for welcome boards. If you're writing a love story, a small-sized mirror would be perfect. This one is a love story mirror made with a hexagonal mirror sold at 3coins ♡

The advantage of using a mirror for the love story is that you can write with markers or pens and wipe it clean with alcohol, allowing for corrections if you make a mistake＊

④ Love Story Candle

This bride wrote the love story on a candle. It’s a unique "Love Story Candle" that you don't see very often! If left casually in spaces like the welcome area or the top table, it makes the setting stylish ♡

When writing texts or illustrations on a candle, transfer sheets are used.

You can print your favored design in reverse on transfer stickers available at 100 yen shops, cut the stickers out, and apply them to the candle. Wet a tissue to press down well to avoid air bubbles and then peel off the backing—it's complete!＊

⑤ Love Story Wreath

This is a "Love Story Wreath," beautifully showcasing the love story within a natural wreath.

Apparently, the bride printed the love story on paper and attached it to the back of the wreath bouquet created for the self-photoshoot. Isn't it wonderful to reuse a pre-shoot item for decoration on the day?

The continuous round shape of the wreath symbolizes "eternity." An "eternal love story" sounds so romantic ♡

⑥ Love Story Cushion

Here we have the "Love Story Cushion," which features the love story embroidered on it. I want to keep it in the photo booth or near the top table ♡

You can either embroider directly onto the cushion fabric or embroider on lace handkerchiefs and then sew them onto the cushion.

While mirrors or acrylic frames are stylish, fabric materials have a warmth and gentle atmosphere that is lovely ♩ They are easy to incorporate into home decor as well ♡

⑦ Love Story Cards Distributed to All Guests

Lastly, we introduce the wonderful idea of "Love Story Cards!"

The love story is printed on small cards and distributed to each guest ♡ You can include them in the invitations or slip them into the seating chart, with various ways to present them ♩

Since they are given individually, everyone can take a good look at them, which is one of the highlights.

What Kind of "Love Story" Should You Prepare? ♡

We have introduced seven types of "Love Story" items full of great ideas, sorted by materials and variations. Which type caught your interest?

Guests are eager to learn about when you met and how you've spent time together. A "Love Story" that stylishly conveys your journey as a couple is a must-have, so please prepare one ♩
