Wedding Party Report

At dusk in December, preparations for Christmas began at The Classic House at Akasaka Prince.
Introducing a fantastic night wedding.

Laughter could be heard coming from the hotel room that was to be the bridal room.

The couple met in college and have been together for seven years.
I look forward to my wedding day.

We converse in our usual cheerful voices, but we're careful not to be seen by each other.
I was excited to see my loved one in his special day.
Preparations are made in a relaxed atmosphere.

On a clear, sunny day
From a room at The Prince Gallery
You can see Mt. Fuji.

The silhouette that appears at twilight is a scene that can only be seen for a moment.
In the midst of all this, the two of them had their first meeting.

My heart fills with emotion at the sight of my loved one.

Once you're ready, we're off.
The staff who had been working with the couple on the preparations for several months
Smiles spread across their faces as they look beautiful together.
Today we will be working as one team.

The bride's kimono
The phoenix resting on a paulownia tree is said to be a sign of good fortune.
A beautiful white wedding kimono with horizontal embroidery made from Kyoto pure silk.

"Yokoburi embroidery" is also known as "thread painting".
This is a traditional technique that has been handed down since the Taisho era.

A horizontal swing sewing machine with a needle that moves left and right
The needle is run over the fabric as if painting with a brush, and a motif is drawn with thread.
Repeated embroidery on the seams
The three-dimensional effect created in this way results in shadows and variations in intensity, making the finished product look almost like a painting.
Because it is a very delicate technique, there are very few skilled craftsmen who can handle it.

"I have always been attracted to the beauty of Japanese things and kimonos."
This outfit is an embodiment of Japanese tradition and is perfect for brides who say this.

The flowing hem of the kimono creates an elegant atmosphere.
The lifted-up hem of the dress is also adorable and suits her very well.

The Classic House at Akasaka Prince is illuminated with fantastic lights.
The sense of dignity of a mansion with a long history can be felt even more.
It has a romantic and moody atmosphere.

The two of you look fantastical, like a scene from a movie.

Before the ceremony, the bride's family welcomed us.
After this, she will play an important role in the ceremony.
Cute little guests are also there.

The bride is making the final preparations for the wedding ceremony.
Pairing it with a cotton hat gives it an even more refined and innocent appearance.

The "beni-sashi no gi" ceremony in which the mother applies lipstick to the bride
The reason why the bride chose white kimono as her wedding attire was
This was because we wanted to fulfill her mother's wish to see her in a pure white wedding kimono.

During this time, mothers help with the finishing touches.
Surely for the bride and the mother
I think it was an unforgettable moment.

Walking down the aisle, reflecting on your life so far
The father walks with the bride.

Our small hands have been holding each other countless times since we were born
Before you know it, it's grown
When we hold hands for the first time in a while
I realize how quickly those months of growth have passed.

The father's thoughts as he entrusts his precious daughter to the groom's hands
This was also felt by the guests watching from nearby.

Instead of a set form, I want to give form to the feelings that are in my heart.
And so we made the words we spun into a vow.

How important is the other person to you?
How do we want to live together?
And how do you want to be to others?

We tried to respect the true feelings of the two of you.

The adorable ring bearer makes his appearance.
The boutonniere and flower crown she is wearing
The bride and groom gave this to me as a gift before the ceremony, saying "Thank you for your continued support today."

When the ring that the two little hands had been carrying arrived
Everyone in the room couldn't help but smile.

The "hand-washing ceremony" in which the left hands are put together after exchanging rings
Feeling the warmth of each other's hands
From now on, we will hold hands, support and encourage each other, and tell each other that we will live together.

A wedding ceremony where the couple vowed in their own words and appearances
The bride and groom were greeted with loud, warm applause.

The Classic House at Akasaka Prince during the Christmas season
The interior of the building is filled with vibrant colors, creating an even more romantic atmosphere.
A tree decorated with colorful ornaments
Guests are invited to the party venue.

One of the attractions of night weddings is
You can experience an extraordinary sense of elation that is different from what you experience during the day.

Enjoy dressing up elegantly in the fantastic darkness.
Enjoy a delicious dinner and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere.
You can enjoy a more special time.

The party venue is the Royal Room.
Match your "relaxed" party image.
Warm colors with orange, yellow and coral flowers
The dynamic silhouette creates a sense of openness in the space.
At each guest table, like a night wedding
We will also welcome you with a lantern.

When the chandelier lights are toned down
The orange light of the candles softly lit the area.

Your guests will be excited for the party to begin.

The bride and groom entered the venue amidst a flood of cheers of congratulations.

A space where the people I love that I've met in my life can gather together.
Wherever I look, I see the smiles of my loved ones
They are waving their hands and applauding.
My heart was filled with joy at the sight of such happiness.

Before the toast that starts the party,
It's time to introduce the types of guests who will be gathering here.

Memorable episodes we shared together
The heartfelt message from the bride and groom, "They are such precious people to us"
With each introduction, the guests at the table erupted in excitement.

"cheers!"
The party started with a cheery voice.
Champagne glasses are clinked and congratulations are exchanged.

"It's great to have a homely time where the most important thing is to spend time with our guests."

The couple had been talking about this ever since they started planning their wedding.
The conversation during meetings is always
The main focus was on how to make everyone who came happy.

"Let's spend the reception like this so that everyone can enjoy themselves."
"I want to spend time with everyone, so let's not change dresses."
The guests look happy.
It was very impressive to see them choose each item one by one.

The day when their feelings took shape,
Your family and friends are so lovely and have such lovely, carefree smiles.

A speech gift from a friend or cousin.
The words you spoke to mark the beginning of your new life together moved me deeply.

Including cake cutting and game time
We will share plenty of time for conversation and fun with everyone.
In the venue filled with a homely atmosphere
There was always laughter emanating from somewhere.

I want to have my wedding for my parents and family.
I want to create a place where people can express their gratitude properly.
When we decided to have a wedding, the first thing we thought about was our parents.

In the closing thanksgiving time,
The bride and groom each gave a message to their parents.
Thank you from the time I was born until today
With much gratitude.

"We were able to create a homely atmosphere."
The two of them told me this after the party.

The happy times when we laughed and enjoyed ourselves together with our loved ones
I believe this will remain cherished in the hearts of the bride and groom.

We wish you and your families eternal happiness.
