I Don't Like Flashiness. I Want a Modest Wedding.

A wedding that happens once in a lifetime. Many couples wish to invite as many guests as possible, including relatives, friends, and colleagues,

and with a focus on concepts, attire, venue decorations, and productions,

they want to hold a wedding that is exceptionally glamorous, flashy, and filled with excitement!

But there may also be brides who feel this way:

"I don't want anything extravagant; I want a modest wedding."

"He is shy, and a flashy wedding doesn't suit us."

What Kind of Wedding Suits You?

So, what kind of wedding styles are suitable for couples who desire modesty?

This time, I will introduce some recommended ideas for those who do not want a flashy wedding.

Recommendation 1 for Those Who Don't Want a Flashy Wedding: Have a Family Wedding

If you're unsure about how many friends or colleagues to invite and feel pressured to entertain them...

then choosing a family wedding with just close relatives is recommended!

With a family wedding, you can create a warm atmosphere just by allowing time for conversation without needing flashy surprises or productions!

Many couples also seem to have their ceremony in a resort area as a trip to honor their parents or hold a traditional Shinto ceremony at a shrine.

Recommendation 2 for Those Who Don't Want a Flashy Wedding: Have an Intimate Wedding

Family weddings are great, but if you want to invite close friends or mentors, an intimate wedding is perfect!

An intimate wedding allows for a close distance with guests, enabling shared meals and conversations, which is appealing.

Of course, you can still enjoy traditional elements like cake cutting and letters from the bride, so you can have a typical wedding experience.

Recommendation 3 for Those Who Don't Want a Flashy Wedding: Have a Ceremony with Just the Two of You

If you want to have a wedding but feel there is no need for others to see it... having a ceremony with just the two of you is also an option!

While it may be rare to have a ceremony with just the two of you, actual brides have shared positive experiences:

"I was so happy that the pastor, choir members, and staff created the best ceremony just for us."

"Being able to pledge our eternal love in front of the sky and nature at the chapel, and just having him beside me was enough happiness."

So it might actually be a good option!

Recommendation 4 for Those Who Don't Want a Flashy Wedding: Have a Reception with Minimal Productions and Entertainment

If you dislike a flashy wedding but still feel pressured to hold a reception due to family expectations or your workplace position...

then having a calm reception with minimal productions and entertainment is probably the best option!

You might wonder if guests will enjoy a ceremony without entertainment, but for guests, the wedding itself is a special occasion.

Therefore, let's enhance the quality of the food and broaden the drink menu to provide a wonderful hospitality experience!

A Modest Wedding, But Let's Have a Happy Time♡

There are surely couples who feel they do not want a flashy or exaggerated wedding.

Just because it's a once-in-a-lifetime event doesn't mean you have to force a large, glamorous wedding!

Let's spend happy times with a wedding style that resonates with us!
