2017.12.01 published

[Post-Wedding Common Experiences] What is "Wedding Loss"? *

A phenomenon that commonly occurs for women who have become a bride after their wedding. This is what we call "wedding loss". *

Specifically...

◆ The stressful decision-making of choosing a venue and a dress after much contemplation

◆ The DIY wedding items that were created together with her partner

◆ The pre-wedding photoshoot where she studied trendy poses extensively

◆ The nervousness that felt like it would burst her heart right before the ceremony

◆ The incredibly happy reception and after-party surrounded by the smiles and cheers of guests

All these memories related to the wedding are deeply cherished, and

the fact that it has already ended is truly lonely,

leading her to wish, "I want to have another wedding..." This state is known as wedding loss. *

It may be a luxurious worry, but... how can I cope with this loss?

Wanting to have another wedding means that the preparation period was truly enjoyable and that the wedding was successful! ♡ What a wonderful result!

So while wedding loss is, in a sense, a very luxurious worry, it’s still a tough feeling. Cry.

So, what are other brides doing to cope with their wedding loss?

Here are some recommended methods, so if you find yourself thinking "I'm currently experiencing wedding loss" or "I might be at risk of wedding loss," take a look! *

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ① Look Back at Photos

You probably have hundreds to thousands of photos taken by friends and those received from the photographer. *

Looking back at that collection of photos and thoroughly immersing yourself in the nostalgia is the quickest way to cope with wedding loss!

Make sure to check your favorite photos so that you can easily access them later. ♩

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ② Watch the DVD Again

In addition to photos, revisiting DVDs such as the opening movie and end roll is also recommended. *

By actually seeing the moving images and hearing the sounds, the memories of the wedding will vividly come back. ♩

Brides who might experience wedding loss might want to consider hiring video filming for the day!

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ③ Report on Instagram

If you have a dedicated wedding Instagram account, reporting on the day’s events can also help alleviate wedding loss. *

You can report chronologically or in bits and pieces!

Recall the feelings you had at that time and the atmosphere of the venue, and try reporting in detail on Instagram. ♩

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ④ Listen to Wedding BGM

The BGM played during the reception and after-party is filled with unforgettable favorite songs, right? ♩

Listening to that wedding BGM during your commute or while doing chores to soak in the afterglow is also wonderful. *

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ⑤ Do DIY as a Graduated Bride

Many brides-to-be have gotten into DIY for wedding items during their preparation period!

Such brides can take on DIY projects that only a graduated bride can do! *

An idea that I recommend is to remake the origami envelopes received from guests! ♡

Making chopstick holders or simple boards by hand is particularly recommended.

How to Cope with Wedding Loss ⑥ Prepare for Honeymoon

After the wedding, it’s time for the honeymoon! To ensure you have a happy time as memorable as the wedding, make plans together with your partner. *

Buying a dress online, such as from Rakuten, and bringing it to the location for a photo shoot will surely create wonderful memories! ♡

It’s also a good idea to take some of the DIY shooting props you made before the ceremony, selectively.

[Conclusion] Let's Enjoy Even Wedding Loss ♡

Many graduated brides tend to fall into a state of wedding loss after the wedding. *

While there will be times in the future when you might think, "I want to go back to that moment...",

as mentioned this time, by revisiting photos and DVDs, doing graduated bride DIY, or putting effort into honeymoon preparations,

it would be best if you could enjoy even the state of wedding loss! ♡ Wishing for all brides to have wonderful newlywed lives!
