◆21 People Express Their Feelings to Their Loved Ones in a Micro Luxury Wedding◆ The Oriental Room <October Report>

Wedding Party Report

The two met as colleagues at their previous job.

They started going out for meals together after the groom took a break from work.
They nurtured their love through many dates.

What the two of them envisioned was
Like those held in overseas mansions and gardens
A wedding adorned with flowers, overflowing with a sense of openness.

Surrounded by your beloved family
Let me share a day that brought my dreams to life.

First Meet

We chose the dress together.
The groom knew in advance what he would be wearing on the day.

Nevertheless, on the wedding day
Revisiting the sight of the bride in the elegantly arranged space was
Apparently, it was so beautiful that it left her speechless.

"So you're getting married today."

That feeling welled up inside me once again during our first meeting.
The bride shows a happy smile.

I realized that the wedding I had always dreamed of had come true.
A feeling of happiness spread through the groom's heart as well.

Why did you choose THE ORIENT?

The couple currently lives in Tokyo.

As an opportunity to express gratitude to family members from the Kansai region, where you are from
They were considering having their wedding in Kobe.

Because it's a small wedding with around 20 people, mainly family members.
Seeking a high-quality space that is not affected by the number of people
The search for a venue has begun.

A Seven Year Dream

The biggest deciding factor in choosing the venue was
To Ryo, the flower designer whom the two of them trust
The reason was that I could request flowers for my wedding.

"I would love to ask you to do my wedding someday."

Seven years ago, the bride was captivated by the world created by Ryo, whom she met through work.

On the day of visiting the bridal fair
The moment I heard that I could ask Ryo-san to do it on my preferred date...
The couple's search for a venue has come to an end.

The dream I have held onto
It's the start of a day where things begin to take shape.

The Story of the Bride's Styling

Wedding Dress：VIKTOR & ROLF MARIAGE

In a refined beauty
VIKTOR & ROLF MARIAGE: Designs that embody boldness and striking aesthetics.

This is the garment I encountered on the first day I visited TREAT.

"A sophisticated and chic atmosphere"
And it was the perfect dress that fulfilled the bride's dream of having a dress with an impressive back design.

The radiant smile the moment she put her arms around her shoulders
"I don't think it will change anymore."
I can still remember those words.

Along with a beautiful three-dimensional lace veil by Oscar de la Renta

Like those held in overseas mansions and gardens
This bridal style was perfect for the couple, who had envisioned a wedding full of openness and freedom.

This was made possible by choosing a weekday wedding.
Spacious location for photo shoots

Instead of pre-wedding photos
They cherished this special photo that could only be captured on their wedding day.

Without being rushed for time
The couple enjoying a beautiful view

The natural smiles and expressions that can only be seen on this day
I was able to capture many moments in photographs.

Family meet

Family Meet at the Chapel

The moment the door opened
Tears welled up in the father's eyes as he saw his bride in her wedding dress.

Seeing this
The bride couldn't help but shed tears.

To my parents who have showered me with so much love
A special time when I was able to deliver the most important moment I wanted to show everyone.

I am truly happy to have been born as one of two daughters.

Those feelings well up inside me once again.

A NY Inspired Water Terrace Wedding

The couple had always dreamed of having a wedding like Lily's in the TV series "Gossip Girl".

When visiting the chapel
The moment I saw the private terrace surrounded by greenery
"I had a hunch that if I decorated this place with flowers, I could create my ideal world."
They requested a wedding ceremony on the water terrace.

In a special location surrounded by the sparkling water and the vastness of the sky

The groom proceeds to the water terrace surrounded by greenery.

The moment of entering the world I envisioned, inspired by overseas dramas,
While enveloped in a pleasant sense of tension
It was a moment that heightened anticipation for the ceremony that was about to begin.

Her adorable appearance added a touch of warmth and gentleness to the ceremony.

Ceremony at the Water Terrace

There was also a moment when the veil fluttered in a gentle breeze.
A lively scene unique to a terrace wedding.

They were showered with flowers as they left the stage.

I was moved by the sacred atmosphere, which was different from that of a chapel.
The moment of exchanging wedding vows, surrounded by family members:
It became a special memory for the two of you.

Once Upon a Dream

A special glass slipper quietly displayed at the reception desk.

That was when I proposed.
A room with a view of Cinderella Castle
The gift that came with the ring

Furthermore, the shoes
The names of the two of them are engraved.
That moment became etched in my heart as an even more special memory.

A precious treasure for the two of you
Welcoming our guests

THE ORIENTAL ROOM

Elegant chandeliers and
Mint green door
A spacious, open ceiling

The moment I saw the Oriental Room

"It perfectly fits the world of Cinderella."

I was overwhelmed with emotion, as if the world I had imagined was unfolding before my eyes.
I had no hesitation in choosing this place to celebrate a special day.

Flower Story

"Creating a space where flowers take center stage"

Because it's a wedding with only family members.
Instead of flashy effects
I want to cherish the pleasant time I spend with my guests.

The one chosen based on that sentiment was
The hospitality included decorating the entire venue with flowers.

We want our guests to have an exciting and memorable time.

With that in mind, the couple chose the following as the theme for their wedding reception:
Halloween Party

The venue will be adorned with
Warm, vibrant flowers in colors such as yellow and orange.

While incorporating pumpkin-shaped objects
I created a coordinated outfit that exudes playfulness and glamour.

Inspired by the tea party in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland"
We selected a long table so that everyone could see each other's faces.
The Halloween party that is so typical of the two of you has begun.

Family time woven around a single table

What the two of you valued most was
"A heartwarming time that deepens the bond between the two families."

By deliberately keeping the proceedings simple and without any entertainment,
Time naturally arises to face each individual in front of you.
We enjoyed a delicious meal while reminiscing about old times.

"Two families become one."
The meaning of those words
A moment where you gradually begin to realize it amidst the warm atmosphere of the venue.

From the guests
"Since it was just family, we could relax and spend time without feeling self-conscious, and it was very comfortable."
"I truly enjoyed the delicious food and conversation."
We received such wonderful feedback.

Family Escort

Escorted out while being watched over by family members

The bride chose her older sister to be her escort.
Because I've been spending more time away from my older sister who lives in London
The idea was to show their parents what they would look like standing side by side as sisters.

The sight of the couple standing close together, one in a wedding dress and the other in a kimono...
It was a moment that allowed the parents to deeply feel the growth of their daughters and the bonds of their family.

The groom exited with his mother.
At the wedding, which I attended as the youngest of my siblings
With gratitude for completing the journey of raising children.

The sight of the mother escorting someone with a joyful expression...
You can sense the significance of this milestone in your family.
I feel like I was able to do something to make my parents proud.
It gently spread across the groom's chest.

Bride's outfit

Wedding Dress:TREAT Original

Choosing a dress for the outfit change
In fact, this was one of the times the bride worried the most.

At the groom's suggestion
She also tried on a pale blue dress reminiscent of Cinderella, but
I felt somewhat embarrassed
It seems she had a hard time finding her destined outfit.

Among those who were chosen was
Halloween party theme
A navy dress that complements the warm orange and yellow floral arrangements.

A color I probably wouldn't have chosen in my twenties.

That's why
As a piece of clothing that expresses who I am now in my 30s
They became a special person.

She paired it with blue earrings by Oscar de la Renta.
Add a playful touch while incorporating your own unique style.

This styling exudes sophisticated adult charm.

Wedding Cake

It harmonizes beautifully with the venue's floral arrangements.
It was enveloped in a harmonious and vibrant array of colors.

Speeches of gratitude and presentation of flowers

From the bride's father
The words, "I'm so glad I met such a good person," were given to me with tears in my eyes.
It deeply resonated with the groom as well.

While being touched by the love contained in the words of each parent
A gentle atmosphere fills the venue.

A day that lives on in our memories

Your thoughts on having your wedding

The groom said, "Every time I go back to my parents' house, they tell me, 'That wedding was really wonderful.'"
Every time I see my wife looking through the photo album with a happy expression on her face
I truly feel that having a wedding was the best decision I ever made.

Regarding the flower arrangements that my wife was particular about...
From the initial meeting, I was overwhelmed by their exceptional sense of style and the power they possess in flowers.

What was particularly impressive was
My brother-in-law hadn't heard the full details of his wife's feelings.
She repeatedly said things like, "It was amazing," and "I was so moved," when she saw the flowers that day.

There was a preconceived notion that it was mostly women who were interested in flowers.
Her beauty, which can move the hearts of men
Thanks to Ryo and the entire JIELI team for bringing that vision to life.
I was deeply moved once again."

The bride said, "Even now, as time has passed, the emotions of that day have not faded."
Every time I look at the albums and videos, I'm filled with happiness and realize how truly fortunate I was to have my wedding at THE ORIENT

Respecting my strong convictions
I am truly grateful to my husband for helping me fulfill so many of my dreams."

As a milestone marking "leaving the nest" for your parents
A day dedicated to expressing gratitude and happiness.

The time when you can proudly say, "The happiest day in the world"
I hope that you two will continue to be together in the future.
It will continue to shine as an irreplaceable treasure.

Reasons why I chose THE ORIENT

Having held our wedding at THE ORIENT Kobe, what I remember most is
It's the staff's generosity and overwhelming professionalism.

"Wedding ceremony on a water terrace"
They kindly embraced our feelings.
While running simulations over and over again
They brought my ideal form to life.

The meticulous preparation and the process leading up to its realization
I felt their pride and warmth as professionals.

Planners and others
The high level of hospitality from everyone involved
I feel that this has made the formula even more special.

Here, we explore the experience of savoring the lasting memories that are unique to a wedding hotel stay.

Thanks to the complimentary hotel stay, we were able to continue enjoying the dreamlike time that followed the emotional impact of our wedding. The breakfast buffet was also exquisite, making it the perfect way to start the day.

For us, who came all the way from Tokyo, the wedding day photography in the streets of Kobe, as well as sightseeing after the ceremony, were all wonderful.
These two days have become a luxurious and happy memory that I will never forget.

What the couple wants to tell those who are about to get married

What people want to focus on in their wedding varies from person to person.
First and foremost, I think it's important to carefully articulate what kind of experience we want to deliver.

It is important to face your ideals without being vague and without giving up.
This was the first step towards creating a satisfying day.

During the preparations, I longed for a space where flowers were the main focus, like in overseas weddings.
I sometimes worried that I was being too particular.

Nevertheless, on the day, we received from the guests
I've never been in such a beautiful space before; surrounded by the scent of flowers, I feel truly happy.
That feeling turned into a conviction.

Decorating a space with flowers is not merely about self-decoration.
I feel that it was a hospitality experience that enveloped our valued guests in an extraordinary, magical atmosphere.

Even without flashy effects
The meticulously designed space itself becomes a gift to the guests.
It became a time when smiles and conversations naturally arose.

Not bound by trends
To create a world that we truly believe is beautiful.

Beyond that lies the opportunity to share truly moving experiences with guests.
I feel like an irreplaceable day awaits me.

At The Orient Kobe
We have a team of professionals who can turn that vision into reality.
It was the perfect place to make our dream wedding a reality.

And then, after pursuing what you "like" to the fullest extent
We can share truly moving experiences with our guests.

We want to create a wedding that reflects the ideals of the two of you.
I sincerely hope they will create it.
