A couple with a calm and gentle atmosphere. In particular, the bride has a clear image of the wedding, and she has a strong commitment to photography, asking many questions about the shoot from the very first meeting.
It is very impressive to see them respecting each other's opinions and coming to a compromise without denying one another's thoughts, truly an ideal couple. They are a beautiful pair, both inside and out, full of charm.
The couple, who are planning a wedding reception in Tokyo, are facing difficulties with elderly relatives, including the groom's grandmother who lives in Fukuoka, making it hard for them to attend. Therefore, they are considering hosting a family-centered meal in Fukuoka to create an opportunity to introduce their relatives to the wedding.
A heartwarming wedding ceremony realized at Dazaifu Tenmangu, representing Fukuoka.
The couple, hailing from Fukuoka, considered the historically significant place "Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine" as a candidate. Known as the god of learning, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine attracts many worshippers from both domestic and abroad, making it a special place for a formal shrine wedding. Surrounded by nature and with a solemn atmosphere, its traditional appearance felt fitting for the couple's new beginning, and they were contemplating a wedding ceremony there.
"Hotel Cartia Dazaifu," located right next to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, is a special place where a calm space that evokes a sense of Japanese aesthetics merges with modern architectural beauty. For the couple, who desired a family-centered dining experience, the warm atmosphere while maintaining formality was ideal, and they were confident that their guests would enjoy a pleasant time, leading them to choose this venue.
The feeling of gratitude towards grandmother will be conveyed along with the presentation of a commemorative gift.
What stood out to me during our discussions was the groom's kindness in subtly uplifting the bride, as well as the bride's attitude of cherishing the groom's family. I could feel their thoughtfulness in many aspects, and I truly felt that they have an ideal relationship.
While you are also preparing for the wedding reception in Tokyo, you expressed a desire to capture photos that emphasize 'wa' (Japanese harmony) in Fukuoka, and you had a strong commitment to the photography. We suggested extending the shooting time and worked together to ensure that the day would be more satisfying.
Regarding the presentation of commemorative gifts to your parents, I understand that you plan to give them their gifts at the wedding in Tokyo. Therefore, I would like to suggest presenting a token of appreciation to your grandmother. The wedding in Fukuoka is particularly special as the groom wishes to show his beloved grandmother his wedding attire, and preparations have been made to ensure that this warm sentiment is conveyed.
A wedding ceremony at the historically significant Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, witnessed by the family in their formal attire.
The wedding ceremony at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, which boasts a rich history and prestige, is a special occasion where a genuine marriage ritual can be conducted in accordance with Japanese traditions, enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. The vows exchanged in the sacred grounds surrounded by nature become a moment deeply etched in the hearts of not only the couple but also their families.
One of the main reasons for holding the wedding in Fukuoka was the couple's strong desire to show the groom's family, especially his grandmother, their wedding attire. Since they could not attend the distant reception, the couple valued the opportunity to present the beautiful traditional Shinto ceremony in their hometown of Dazaifu.
Dazaifu Tenmangu is truly the best stage to express gratitude and respect towards family. It became a special wedding that resonated in our hearts.
To express my gratitude up to this point, I will host you with my cooking.
Using plenty of seasonal ingredients from the local Kyushu region, the course meal beautifully harmonizes Japanese and Western styles, offering a visually stunning and heartwarming taste.
Each dish reflects the couple's personality, as they are particular about the food. They infused their gratitude into the dishes and provided warm hospitality.
Guests were able to enjoy both the appearance and the taste.
Take the time to have leisurely conversations and cherish dialogue with family.
We arranged plenty of time for conversation so that the couple could slowly talk with each other on this milestone day of their wedding.
The couple, who were always smiling and seemed to be enjoying themselves with the guests, left a strong impression, making it a harmonious day.
With gratitude to grandmother, a bouquet is presented to her.
At the conclusion of the banquet, the couple presented a bouquet to their grandmother. The theme of their wedding in Fukuoka was to show their grandmother, who could not be invited to the wedding in Tokyo, their beautiful appearance.
That warm sentiment was conveyed through the bouquet.
From the planner
It was impressive to see the two of you thinking about your families and having various discussions. You both valued each other's opinions and considered each other's families. I hope you will share many wonderful photos from the reception in Tokyo. Please do come and visit with your whole family.
Wishing you both lasting happiness.
