The wedding ceremony of my niece was held at a chapel of hotel faced to Osaka Castle on 19th. The weather forecast was heavy rain due to typhoon but it was stopped while the wedding by her “fine woman power”. Recent wedding ceremony and reception become casual and entertain for friends instead of relatives. The relationship with friends becomes more important than relatives. And the guest wedding clothes is not so different from daily wear.

The photo shows TOMESODE(black color) with 5 family crests/ IROTOMESODE(pink color) with 1 family crest. The black one is more formal because of the color and the number of crest. The family crest of the Kitagawa is DAKI-MYOGA (Japanese gingers). My remade long dress from TOMESODE is more comfortable and more gorgeous by keeping Japanese culture. My design is devised the top body becomes gorgeous even though sitting on chair in comparison with TOMESODE kimono. And some accessories for head and neck can be combined together by each person.

Three grandchildren of my cousin were very cute and handsome. The eldest 12 years old brother became a “ring boy” remained me a famous actor Mr. Yujiro Ishihara. We took a photo and I am very happy to see him in the future. The big lunch box with noodle was served for youngest boy. His stomach was smaller than the food. Two other brothers helped to eat and I joined to get the fruits compo. How juicy and sweet the big grapes and oranges were !

The present wedding has expressed a taste of bride and bridegroom. It becomes rational less waste and individuality. They effectively use the limited wedding reception time. Their costume change is only once and they don’t want to leave the guests for long time. The kimono style takes time to change clothes and costs a lot. Therefore we can’t see kimono costume on wedding ceremony and reception gradually.

I desolate this tendency but it is. My remade dress from kimono is very workable on wedding occasion !
