PARTY REPORTParty report from The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto

-Wedding Report-

The two met when they were in the second grade of elementary school.
Then time passed
Our relationship started on January 28, 2018.

As if to share your feelings on the same date
They got married on January 28, 2022.

That spring, they had a warm family wedding in their hometown.
Instead of flashy performances, convey your feelings through words.
It was a peaceful and precious moment.

Three years have passed since then.

Having reached the milestone of independence
"Now it's my turn to express my gratitude to my friends."
Those feelings naturally grow stronger.


From your friends
We were also encouraged by those who said, "We want you to have a wedding ceremony."

January 28, 2025──

Connecting the past with the future
As a new beginning
We were able to celebrate a very special day.

Since it's a special day where you're inviting only your closest friends...
It's not just a "showcase"
We want this to be a time that naturally reflects the personalities of the two of you.

Not by imitating someone else
While cherishing our own unique sense of beauty and atmosphere
The costumes, the space, and the way of spending time
We will imbue each and every choice with meaning.

While considering every detail
Without being stiff or tense
But it was a day where you could feel a real sense of dedication.

Rather than being understood by many people
To convey your true self to the people you cherish

Because you two cherish that feeling so much
THE SODOH HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO
Thank you for choosing me.

- Private Gallery & Welcome Space -

The first place guests step into is
A modern corridor that evokes the breath of history.

Symbolizing the unique sensibilities of the two of you
See-through tapestry
It gracefully drifts through the space, letting soft light pass through.

What are your thoughts and preferences that reflect your personalities?
Even in the waiting room where guests first spend time.
It was scattered throughout with a pleasant rhythm.

The mansion once loved by the great Japanese painter Takeuchi Seiho
On this day, just the two of you
In a space like a private gallery

Forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life
My anticipation for the day ahead naturally grows.

- First Meet -

In the gentle light that flows through the master's private residence
The story of the two of them has quietly begun.

While cherishing the dignity of traditional Japanese clothing
Let's add a playful touch that's uniquely us right now.

It gives a feeling of the coming spring.
Light and airy styling

The groom had prepared
A surprise bouquet of pure white roses

The moment I turned around
Her genuine, unpretentious smile shines through.

Don't just copy the correct answer.
Your special day, just for the two of you, begins here.

-Ceremony-

The reason you two were chosen is
I made my vows surrounded by all my dear friends.
"Traditional Japanese-style wedding ceremony"

Only the two of you can make it happen
This is a new form of hospitality: "A thank-you party centered around friends who have been so kind to us."

Just before entry, it arrived in the hands of the guests.
A "letter ceremony" where everyone simultaneously opens a single letter.
Before the door opens
I will confront the sincere words of the two of you.
A quiet atmosphere envelops the venue in a warm sense of unity.

At the wedding ceremony, I nominated eight pairs of close friends.
We held a "flower ceremony".

The cherry blossom branches that were handed out one by one
With your important guests in your hands
They become bonds and overlap

It's not about following a formally correct answer.
The bond between the two of you and all the guests
It was a vividly expressed, one-of-a-kind moment.

- Flower Coordination -

The reception venue, "The Terrace," was decorated by
The deep green of the moss gives a sense of the breath of life.
Lush trees spread out above.

A gray tablecloth paired with a white roll of napkins.
We thoroughly eliminated all unnecessary elements.
We pursued minimalist beauty.

While exuding a dignified elegance
White tulips and the soft lines of branches
A welcoming atmosphere for guests
A space that evokes a sense of exquisite harmony and beauty.

Dedicated florist 'LUVONICAL flower' and
The sensibilities of the two resonated with each other, and the atmosphere of the historic building...
A modern essence blends in.

"What kind of space to create"
"How do you want to spend time with your guests in that context?"
A coordination centered around the wishes of the two of you.

Each material has meaning
The entire venue tells the story of their message.
It has the feel of an art gallery.
My friends who visited were impressed by its sophisticated world view.
It's as if you're naturally drawn in.
A special view unfolds before your eyes.

- Colored Drip -

What she wore to the wedding reception was
To enhance the bride's dignified presence
Black dress by TREAT Original

Good style and
To make the most of her distinct facial features
Pursuing the graceful curves of an imported dress.
We suggest a simple satin dress.

A fusion of classic and modern.
The bustier line is perfectly calculated.
It creates a sophisticated and urban impression without being too mainstream.

We've subtly incorporated our own unique style into a timeless elegance.
It has become a one-of-a-kind look.

- Wedding party -

"We want to create a time where our guests can be the stars."
We will provide special features such as guest interviews.
They placed great importance on creating an experience that would deepen the bonds with everyone involved.

By intentionally not creating a difference in height between the two seats
With our valued guests
Close proximity, sharing drinks and conversation
It creates an atmosphere that allows body heat to be transmitted.

While edgy background music plays
A lighthearted hospitality that is not bound by formalities
We helped to put our guests at ease and make them feel comfortable.

- Closing -

Twenty years have passed since we met in elementary school.
As a continuation of the days we have walked so far
A day at SODOH that you chose

Put on a dress that makes you feel like yourself.
The time spent surrounded by flowers that embody your passion
Congratulations to the two of you on taking this new step together.
It is both gently enveloping and filled with a dignified atmosphere.

Without being bound by form
A balance that feels comfortable for us
Together with professionals from each section
The two of them expressed themselves gracefully with genuine, down-to-earth sensibilities.

"I've never seen a wedding like this before."
"No matter which part you look at, it really captures the essence of the two of you."
A guest casually mentions it.
Those simple, unpretentious words made me happier than anything else.
It was a truly luxurious moment.
