Turning Japanese

I love Japan, and pretty much anything that has to do with Japan. So how could I resist writing about Japanese styled weddings! This doesn't mean covering the place in Hello Kitty or Pokemon and having a robot do the ceremony (although it would be awesome!) It is a great wedding theme for the Spring and Summer months, this idea has lots of available colour schemes to work with as well as many quirky ideas for guests to enjoy as well!

Of course you can don the whole uchikake (red kimono) outfit for your big day, but if you still want the white dress, it it easy to influence Japan into it by using sashes or carrying fans. This can also be done for the rest of the Bridal party. Flowers can be beautiful as you have such a great selection, with my favourites of course being the beautiful cherry blossoms, frangipani and orchids which we have all begun to relate to the country. 

Decorate the room with more cherry blossoms and bright plants, and use lanterns to add some traditional light around the room. And for food, how about a large sushi platter for your guests to pick from, or as pictured, a sushi wedding cake! Favours can be fun too. You can have miniature fans for your guests, or maybe some sushi-styled candles or little lanterns. My favourite idea is having origami sets on tables for guests to have fun making. Perhaps to get everyone really involved you can make it a competition? 

And how to top it all off? By jet-setting off to the tremendous city of Tokyo for your honeymoon to keep the Japanese flowing through to the very end. A simple, easy and stunning theme for your wedding.
