Wedding party report

The couple met by chance at an izakaya, where the groom initiated the conversation.

After that, after going on a few dates, we naturally became attracted to each other and started dating.

Why did you choose THE ORIENT?

I fell in love with the chapel at first sight and had always dreamed of having my wedding THE ORIENT.

When the groom actually visited the venue, he was also attracted to the atmosphere.

We were given a detailed explanation about the banquet hall, which was not yet completed.

It was a venue that truly made us both feel, "We want to have our wedding here!"

First meet

The bride said, "I kept the dress a secret until the day itself, so I was excited to see how people would react to it.

The moment we met, I realized that I was really going to be married to this person.

I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the chance to meet again.

Groom: "Seeing the dress for the first time was even more beautiful than I had imagined, and I couldn't help but smile.

The moment we first met felt like a signal for the start of a new life.

It was a very special time."

Bride's outfit

Dress: ANTONIO RIVA

The brand is characterized by its architecturally beautiful silhouettes and the three-dimensional forms of high-quality mikado silk, a luxurious fabric known for its elegant texture and structure.

The simple yet well-calculated cuts accentuate the bride's beauty like a sculpture.

A mermaid wedding dress that shows off your body lines beautifully and gracefully.

I chose the wedding dress of my dreams, which can only be worn on the special moment of my wedding.

The design features layers of delicate tulle, and I love it so much that I get entranced every time I try it on."

Since it was a Christian-style ceremony, it was noted that guests would often be looking at the backs of the bride and groom.

A dress with a beautiful and impressive back style was selected.

Wedding welcome desk decoration

"The elegant atmosphere in the waiting room was wonderful.

The reception area is simply coordinated to make the most of the hotel's atmosphere.

Create a sense of unity by decorating with flowers that have the same atmosphere as the reception venue.

We tried to create a space that blends in with the atmosphere of THE ORIENT while still conveying our unique style."

“WHICH SONG DO YOU THINK? ”

What the couple prepared for their guests in the waiting area was

"Background Music Guessing Quiz": Guests can vote to guess which song the couple chose for their entrance in their changed outfits from four options.

The guest participation production builds excitement for the reception.

Family Meat

A private family meeting with just the two of you and your parents before the wedding ceremony.

"The moment I saw my parents' faces, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for all they had done to raise me.

Seeing them crying with joy, I realized once again how much love they had shown in raising us.

My heart is filled with emotion.”

Just before the entrance, there will be a "jacket ceremony" with the help of the groom's mother.

You will assist with the final preparations while gazing at the broad back of the grown-up child.

Wedding ceremony

As I walked down the aisle, surrounded by my beloved guests,

All my memories came back to me at once and I was overwhelmed.

Every moment, from exchanging rings to kissing, is so special.

It became a precious memory that I will never forget."

Ring bearer

The person who helped out at the wedding was my young niece.

"In preparation for the performance, I practiced driving at home.

On the day, she had a blank expression, but I was relieved when she successfully delivered the ring.

My family and relatives also praised it, saying, "It's too cute!"

Exiting the wedding ceremony

Surrounded by the warm smiles of family and friends

As the tension eased, I was filled with a sense of security.

And through this time, I realized that we were finally going to become husband and wife.

Bouquet toss after the ceremony

After the ceremony, a bouquet toss was held with participation from all female guests.

Sharing happiness by wishing good luck to guests who receive the bouquet.

It carries the meaning as well.

Reception hall

The couple chose the recently renovated "The Oriental Room."

A classical atmosphere reminiscent of the streets of the former Kobe settlement.

The elegant decorations, such as the chandeliers, are reminiscent of the social gatherings where many distinguished guests once gathered.

The natural light coming in through the skylight and floor-to-ceiling windows will make your celebration even more special.

Flower coordination by JIELI

The venue had a simple and natural atmosphere, unified in the "green x white" color scheme.

Using flowers such as apple mint, sedge, curcuma, and anthurium,

Create a sophisticated atmosphere while still expressing your individuality.

The couple also prepared paper items to match the overall color tone of the venue.

Entrance to the reception

The theme is "A warm, homely atmosphere where all guests can have fun and relax."

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my parents for raising me with care until now.

The cake cutting ceremony

After the couple cut the cake and took their first bite,

A thank you bite for the parents, who were smiling shyly.

The venue was filled with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Change clothes and exit

The bride made a surprise exit with her two older sisters, and the groom made a surprise exit with his younger sister.

Changing dress

Dress: LIZ MARTINEZ

A dress brand exuding playful charm, adorned with vibrant Middle Eastern-style embroidery and beading.

The soft blush color blends into the skin and brings out the translucency of the bride.

"I wanted to completely change the image of the wedding ceremony, so I chose a dress with a sophisticated design and impressive jewels.

The groom's tuxedo, which was selected to match this dress, was chosen without having seen the dress during the fitting.

I was surprised at how perfectly it fit!"

The gift is "Weight Rice" containing rice equal to the weight of the bride and groom at birth.

The memory of the first time they held their child, with all its emotional weight and wonder, brings a sense of nostalgia to the parents.

I am so happy that I was able to have my dream wedding at THE ORIENT I had always dreamed of.
