"Reasons Why Choosing a 'Shiro-muku' for Pre-Wedding and Post-Wedding Photos is a Dream Worth Trying at Least Once in Your Life!"

Once in a Lifetime, I Want to Wear a White Wedding Kimono ♡

When it comes to traditional Japanese weddings, the white wedding kimono and colorful uchikake are the classics＊

Both the white wedding kimono and colorful uchikake are worn at the start of the reception and during outfit changes,

but particularly, the white wedding kimono is worn in Shinto or Buddhist ceremonies, giving it a classic and special atmosphere ♡

Many brides might be thinking, "I want to wear such a wonderful white wedding kimono at least once in my life!" ♩

However, some brides seem to be hesitant to give up on the white wedding kimono because they want to wear a regular wedding dress and colored dress on their wedding day.

For those brides who have this dilemma, why not wear a white wedding kimono for pre-wedding or post-wedding photos? ♡

Charm of Wearing a White Wedding Kimono in Pre-Wedding Photos ③ Actually, There's a Wide Variety of Designs ♩

The white wedding kimono is characterized by its pure white design, but it's also noteworthy that there are various types in terms of material and patterns＊

For example, in terms of colors alone, there are a range from pure white to light shades of unbleached fabric (kinari)!

Moreover, there are designs with gold or red embroidery on the sleeves, and patterns of pine, bamboo, and plum or cranes throughout.

You should try on and find your favorite design during the fitting ♩

And the white wedding kimono pairs perfectly with both Japanese and Western hairstyles!

If you want to go for a traditional and distinctly Japanese look, it's recommended to choose a Japanese hairstyle like a wataboshi (traditional white hood) or tsuno-kakushi (horn hiding)＊

But if you prefer a modern and cute style, opt for a Western-style hairstyle ♩

Regardless of which you choose, you’ll be able to create an elegant and adorable bridal look! ♡
