<May Report> Location photo shoots in the former foreign settlement and a relaxed and enjoyable "casual wedding"

Wedding party report

``When I went to tour the venue, the food was amazing and the atmosphere of the ceremony venue was really nice.

I want to make THE ORIENT a special place that feels like home, where guests can always return and never forget.

With such feelings, the couple chose THE ORIENT.

We will deliver location photos and wedding reports at the historic district.

First meet

The first meeting is in a chapel full of natural light.

The slightly nervous and shy expression on the groom's face is impressive.

The appeal of pre-wedding photos

The biggest appeal of pre-shooting is that you can fully enjoy taking photos in a relaxing environment.

The wedding day is busier than you might imagine, and it can be difficult to find time to take photos.

You can spend time just the two of you, which is completely different from the day you welcome guests.

Bride's outfit

Dress: VIKTOR & ROLF MARIAGE

The fateful outfit decided at the first fitting is VIKTOR & ROLF MARIAGE

A Dutch dress brand created by two male designers who graduated from art universities.

The large three-dimensional ribbon motif from the waist is typical of VIKTOR & ROLF MARIAGE.

The wide spread princess line silhouette is adorable yet

It combines simple, sophisticated elegance.

Location photo

Kobe, a former foreign settlement said to be the most beautiful city in the East

In a typical Kobe location with an exotic atmosphere where Western-style buildings and stone streets still remain.

You can capture a picture that looks like something out of a foreign movie.

Impressions from the pre-wedding photoshoot

``I don't usually take many photos, so I didn't have any photos that I could use for invitations or profile books.

We made full use of the data taken in the pre-shoot.

With the support of the photographer and the location of THE ORIENT.

We were able to take a lot of cool photos that we would never normally take on our own.

I have many favorite photos, which made it a special memory, and I'm glad that it was well received by my family and friends.

Wedding Party Concepts

``A dinner party with a casual atmosphere, not an emotional or elaborate one.

Have a relaxing chat while eating delicious food with friends, loved ones, and relatives that you don't get to see often.

I want everyone to be able to spend time with smiles while taking pictures.”

The wedding party of the couple, who have been preparing with these feelings in mind, is about to begin.

"Wedding canvas"

Marriage certificate with guest participation, completed by layering colors one stroke at a time on a pure white canvas

Before the wedding ceremony, guests were asked during the reception to think about what they believe is important in married life.

"Gratitude: Khaki" "Money: Gold" "Love: Purple" "Smile: Green"

Have people draw lines on a blank canvas using their chosen color of paint.

Wedding ceremony

The important “words of vows” of the couple who chose a ceremony

What kind of partner is important to you?
"How do you want to live together in the future?"
“I want to be like this for you, for both of us.”

It fits the current feeling rather than the wording of the template.

We will create original “words of vows” just for the two of you.

The ring girl is the groom's niece

Even the guests watching will smile at how cute it is.

Flower coordination

Flower designer Noritaka Igarashi was in charge of the venue decoration.

Coordination with apricot orange as the base color and accent colors of white and light blue

Using dahlias, Sandersonia, Turkish bellflowers, gerberas, and marguerites.

The overall atmosphere is gentle, and the area around the main sofa is a bright and lively space that takes advantage of the flower lines.

Guests can enjoy themselves to their heart's content even before the two of them enter the venue.

Toasts will begin at each table as the amuse is served before admission.

After the screening of the opening movie, the couple finally entered the venue.

The party started with a toast from the groom's fishing buddy and senior friend.

Thoughts for invited guests

For us, friends are people who laugh together when we're happy,

When we are sad, we cry together, and no matter what happens, we look forward together and lift each other up together.

I was able to discuss things that I couldn't discuss with my family, and they always supported me.

Your kind words warm my heart every time.

I want to continue to cherish such friends.'' Photo time with guests who are dear to my heart.

Fishing Rod Bite

The groom, who is a big fan of fishing, had his first bite with a fishing rod instead of a spoon.

With the bride's perfect control, the cake is brought to the groom's mouth using a fishing rod.

The venue also got excited by the sight they saw for the first time.

Change clothes and exit

As a surprise nomination, the bride is with her younger brother, and the groom is with his fishing friends, exiting with smiling escorts.

Changing dress

Dress: Jenny Packham

The luxury brand chosen for the color change is a favorite of Britain's Duchess Catherine.

The design, which is timeless and features delicate beading on soft fabric, is symbolic.

The soft, flowy fabric that is typical of Jenny Packham imparts an elegant impression.

The brightness of the stars, colored with large jewels that spill over, enhances the bride's glamorous impression.

Wedding canvas

On the wedding canvas made by the guests at the reception.

A “one-of-a-kind marriage certificate” is completed with the signatures of the couple.

By displaying it as an interior decoration in your new home, it becomes a memento item that allows you to look back on happy times every time you look at it.

Letter of thanks

Thank you letters from the bride and groom

A wedding is a time to express feelings that are normally difficult to express in words.

Farewell

For a small gift, choose THE ORIENT "Heart Pie"

The couple was seen off by the guests on a naturally created flower path.

Thoughts after the party

"I'm so glad that I was able to have my wedding at THE ORIENT which I've always dreamed of.

Thanks to the planners and everyone involved, it was a lot of fun from the preparation period.

The day went by so quickly. I was able to spend a very happy time with my precious family and friends.

I hope I can come back on a special day and enjoy the meals and accommodations and reminisce about this happy time."

Thank you for sending such kind words.
