Not Just Love Story Dash! 6 Items to Discover Their History Together

We Want You to Know Our Journey Together ♡

The item that records the journey of the couple until their wedding day is the [Love Story Dish].

☑ The day we met

☑ The day we started dating

☑ The day of the proposal

☑ The day we registered our marriage…

It’s a plate that records important anniversaries for the couple, allowing them to convey their love story to guests by displaying it at the venue.

The Love Story Dish, a DIY idea originating from brides overseas, is gaining popularity in Japan.

However, there are many items, not just "plates," that can convey the couple’s love story ♡

This time, we introduce love story items prepared by senior brides. Let’s stylishly design the couple’s history ♩

Item to Convey the Love Story ① Love Story Board

The Love Story Board is a board that displays the couple's love story. It can be made by writing on wood or a blackboard, or by printing and placing it in a photo frame, with various design options available.*

Many brides decorate their welcome space and reception with them ♡

Being larger than the Love Story Dish and having a high degree of design freedom, it is popular for creating a love story that fits the wedding theme.

This particular Love Story Board features handwritten text in chalk on a blackboard. It can easily be DIY-ed without using a computer, making it accessible to try ♩

If you're having a natural wedding, we recommend a Love Story Board with moss attached to the frame.

By including pre-wedding photos or stylish imagery, you can achieve an even more elaborate design.

Using stylish alphabet free fonts is key to making it look great!*

Another popular option as a marriage certificate is the Love Story Board designed with acrylic boards and pressed flowers. The transparent and refreshing board looks great wherever it's displayed ♡

After the wedding, it can be kept as an interior decoration in the entrance area, perfect for display!*

Item to Convey the Love Story ② Cushion

A high seat cushion embroidered with the love story. It seems a friend of the bride made it as a gift.

The embroidery is done on a handkerchief-sized cloth, which is then sewn onto the cushion. The combination of the pink cushion and the floral embroidery framing the love story is adorable ♡

It’s stylish to subtly hide the love story in a space that isn’t immediately noticeable!*

Item to Convey the Love Story ③ Profile Book

Introducing the love story in a booklet combining a seating chart and menu is another option. This is often referred to as a love story page or history page ♡

When including the love story in a profile book, you can include not only dates but also episodes and photos, which is attractive ♩

By introducing memories in chronological order, guests can experience the couple's love story that may not be fully conveyed in a profile movie!*

Item to Convey the Love Story ④ Love Story Paper

If you'd like to introduce the love story in the profile book but feel a bit embarrassed for relatives to see it, a recommended option is to prepare a separate paper item with the love story written on it.*

This bride prepared a separate Love Story Paper to hand out to friends at the after-party.

If you design it like a rolled seating chart, you can DIY it without spending too much time or budget ♡

A bride provided Love Story Paper designed like tickets as well.*

It may also look stylish if placed like a bookmark in the profile book! ♡

Item to Convey the Love Story ⑤ Hexagonal Mirror

A trend among brides-to-be on Instagram is to write their love story on a hexagonal mirror from 3coins using Posca pens or oil-based markers.

The antique-looking frame makes it stylish even without processing. It stands on its own, making it possible to use it directly as a decorative item for the reception or welcome space ♡

It can be DIY-ed for 300 yen with just a pen, which is budget-friendly. Let’s decorate it with flower stickers or ribbons!*

Item to Convey the Love Story ⑤ Love Story Table

The last idea we introduce is a Love Story Table that presents the love story like a large chart (the bride refers to it as Family History). ♡

Write illustrations and text on A3-sized paper, detailing the couple's meeting and journey to marriage. The illustrations were created by a professional illustrator, who is the groom! ♩

By placing it on the wall of the welcome space, guests can look at it during wait times. This idea is also recommended for those who may hesitate to share their love story individually.

What Kind of Love Story Will You Prepare? ♩

We have introduced various ideas for conveying love stories that became popular through Love Story Dishes.

Questions like "When did you start dating?" or "When were you engaged?" can be hard for guests to ask.

With items that introduce the love story, you can naturally share the couple's journey with the guests!*

For brides-to-be who still have time to DIY before the big day, why not prepare something special? ♡
