Japanese Wedding
Theme
|
Japanese weddings, although very expensive are very elegant and serene.
If you are choosing a Japanese theme for your wedding, think about ways
to achieve the authentic look at a fraction of the price.
For a Japanese wedding theme begin with the bride’s attire. Traditionally,
a bride in Japan wears a white silk kimono, which can cost up to twenty
five thousand dollars to purchase. With a good seamstress, a kimono
can be made from white silk. A groom wears a haori on the top and a
hakama on the bottom, all in black. The bride will usually change into
different kimonos up to five times during the wedding day. Although
not required, some Japanese brides wear wigs as part of the tradition
of the kimono wedding dress. The wig is heavily decorated in artificial
flowers, gold combs and pearls. The wedding party will also dress in
kimono’s, usually in a color chosen by the bride.
At the ceremony of a Japanese themed wedding, the bride and groom traditionally
enter the ceremony from different sides of the room while drum and flute
music are being played. A sacred tree, made from paper streamers is
then waved over the couple in belief that it will keep evil spirits
away and unite purification. After vows are said, the couple then drinks
wine, or sake, and exchanges their glasses nine times to symbolize their
bonding.
Some accessories to look for when uniting in a Japanese themed wedding
include white fans for the bride and bridesmaids to hold during the
ceremony, bonsai trees to display as centerpieces on the reception tables,
a decorated parasol for the flower girl to carry, and bowls of bamboo
to set around the reception to give a more authentic look of Japanese
culture.
When deciding on lighting for a Japanese themed wedding, look for paper
lantern lights, which can also be made. Hang them at the reception location
and use for lighting rather than candles. You may also think about buying
miniature fans to use as place settings for guests to take home as souvenirs.
Chop sticks are another great item to add to the theme of the wedding.
Whether your guests know how to use them or not, they will have fun
trying and taking them home.
In a new modern era, couples are beginning to incorporate the traditional
Japanese wedding with more of a modern Western culture, which makes
the wedding more understood by those who are not familiar with Japan’s
culture.
When planning your Japanese wedding theme, read up on the cultures and
traditions of Japan and include all or a few of them in your wedding,
using your own style. If you pay attention to the detail of your attire,
reception decorations, music and flowers, you will have a beautiful
wedding with the feel of Japanese culture.

"My
husband lost interest in sex about 7 years ago and we usually
only had it about once a month or less. Since getting these
tips he actually initiated it 6 times last month and asked if
I could repeat some of the tips I had tried on him. His erections
are actually harder than they have been in years too. I feel
like we are much closer as a result of the better lovemaking.
