CARNATION BOUQUET

As the couple’s wedding was two days before “Mother’s Day”, the bride and groom prepared bouquets made of the same number of carnations as each mother’s age.

They were big bouquets of crimson carnations. Their mothers must have admired them at home while recalling the childhood of bride and groom and also their great figure on the wedding day.

I thought I could hear the bride’s voice saying “To my dearest mom, with a thousand of apologies and a million of thanks”.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF HAPPY MOMENT

We received the beautiful wedding pictures from one of our client couples who got married at Imamiya Shrine on the bright sunny day in May.

They first contacted us after seeing a picture of another couple having their wedding ceremony in Paris wearing LST Kimono.

The groom is a photographer and the bride is a designer. This stylish couple lives in Tokyo.

Imamiya Shrine is the place where they visited when he proposed marriage to her.

At their wedding, the groom himself set up the big tripod for the photography.
It was an unusual scene but very unique and special. The guests were watching admiringly while the groom was working as a photographer. They all shared the pleasant moment.

I realized again that every scene and moment are so precious that we should save them by taking photographs.

Congratulations!!

HAPPY EXPERIENCE

I provided the service at their wedding ceremony and reception on May 4th.

It was about a year ago when I first met the couple to help them to choose their wedding kimono.

We were so thrilled when we spotted our names in the booklet they handed to their guests at the reception.
It was such a great surprise and I was about to cry.

We really enjoyed serving the couple every time they visited us for the meeting or for the fitting of the costume.

They even handed me a heartfelt letter after the wedding and I really appreciate that.

They are such a great couple and I wish them a long and happy marriage.
Congratulations!!

GION DOI

A couple who had got married on May 8th, 2011 returned to “Gion Doi” to enjoy the meal with the whole family.

It has past nearly 8years since they had got married.
It was great to hear that they will have their third child soon.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to meet them again long after their wedding ceremony.

新婦様と料亭左阿彌さんにて再会しました。

目が合った瞬間、
あっ！と思わず歩み寄りました。

当時、お腹にいらした赤ちゃんも立派に成長なされていらっしゃいました。

「この人、だあれ？」
とお子様の問いに、

「パパとママが結婚した時に、すっごくお世話になった人だよ」

とご紹介してくださいました。

嬉しい！！

ご縁がつながり、引き続きたいせつなご家族様のご結婚式をサポート
させて頂きましたことを嬉しく思っています。

REUNION

I met a lady at Saami ryoutei restaurant.
I had supported her wedding ceremony seven years ago.

When our eyes met, my feet moved to approach her even before my brain recognized it was her.
The baby who was still in her tummy at that time has now grown big.

“Who is she?” asked the child.
And she explained “When daddy and mommy got married, she helped us a lot.”

What a pleasure!!

I am so grateful that we could get the chance to support their precious family’s wedding as well.

Wishing the couple a life time happiness!

LST DESIGN KIMONO / IRO-UCHIKAKE (MULTI-COLORED WEDDING KIMONO)

Iro-uchikake “Momoyama Hana-kurabe” is colorfully designed uchikake which image comes from Momoyama period and it has special soft texture of Kara-ori (woven-silk).
The traditional motives which were used often for the costume of Noh(=classical Japanese musical drama) and Kosode (a kind of kimono) in Momoyama period are placed all over.

The accessories are in cream color with woven “SHIPPO” pattern.
Gold fringes and yellow obiage (sash belt) will give the accent to the coordination.

This iro-uchikake in pink must look great and gorgeous on you.
Even if you never chosen pink for your clothing, this may look good on you as it contains so many different colored motives.

We will hold next fitting event for the wedding kimono on March 23rd.

“Toyokuni Shrine” is commonly know as “Houkoku-san” by the local people.
It enshrines Hideyoshi Toyotomi and his wife Nene who were tied by a love marriage that was rare at that time.

Is is gorgeously woven with the motives of “Nihon Sankei (The three views of Japan)”; Amano-Hashidate in Kyoto, Miyajima in Hiroshima and Sendai in Miyagi along with the crest of the shrine and some botanical motives like peony,wisteria, chrysanthemum and pine trees.

“RYOUTEI SAAMI” WEDDING FAIR

We held a wedding fair at Saami Ryoutei restaurant on February 10th.
We really appreciated that so many people visited the fair.

We were happy to hear the voices from our guests saying;
“The meals were very delicious.”
“Can’t wait for having my wedding here!”
“I’m surprised to see that you offer so many variety of styles.”

It is the 15th year since we started holding the fair twice a year, in summer and winter.
All of LST staff are really grateful for being given such opportunity at the historic place like Saami.

We would like to thank for all the guests attended, Saami and other partner companies who collaborated with us.

OMOTENASHI / THE MIND OF HOSPITALITY

The couple got married at Kamigamo Shrine last Autumn.
They were from Fukui prefecture, and their first encounter was through “Sado (=tea ceremony)”.

They chose “Saami (ryoutei restaurant)” as a venue for their wedding reception after the ceremony.
It is said that ODA Yorinaga, a nephew of ODA Nobunaga, mastered “Sado” there.

After the meal, the bride herself made some tea and offered to their families.

She wore her own “Furisode (formal kimono)” and had arranged her own hair in Japanese traditional style.
Everything the way shed moved was elegant and sophisticated.

She was so beautiful that I was enraptured.
The reception was full of wonderful, unique hospitality.

Congratulations！
