PARTY REPORTParty report from The Sodoh Higashiyama Kyoto

-Wedding Report-

Reasons for having a wedding
It was very simple for the two of them.

To my family who have walked through life with me and supported me.
To all members of the company who have guided us toward growth
Today, everyone has gathered here looking forward to this day.
To our valued guests

I usually feel too embarrassed to say "thank you."
I want to deliver this on that special day—the wedding.

Treasure this moment — it only happens once in a lifetime.

Those who have been part of your lives
With heartfelt gratitude to everyone.
An irreplaceable day begins.

- First meet -

The groom couldn't help but smile when he saw his bride turn around softly.

The two of them looked at each other with a shy expression.
I was overflowing with joy at finally reaching this day.

-Family meet-

The person I wanted you to see most today

After their first look, the couple headed to…
His parents were there.

Even if you don't talk much
On holidays, he would take me fishing.
Our father showed us that he enjoys taking care of the house.

I bake a homemade birthday cake every year.
The importance of "seeing things through to the end"
the mother who taught me (honorific: お母様 — polite reference to someone’s mother)

She has quietly watched over the groom since he was a child.
They are irreplaceable.


And most important to the bride
He may look intimidating at first glance, but he's a father who cares more about his daughter than anyone else.
My mother, who was sometimes strict but always watched over me with deep love.

This moment—standing in their finest attire before their parents──

"thank you"


Feelings too deep to be conveyed by a single word welled up inside me.
Tears filled my eyes before any words could be said, as if gently warming my heart.
It was a time filled with peace and tranquility.

-Ceremony-

The reason you two were chosen is
A wedding ceremony where you pledge your love to your cherished guests.

People I've met and who have supported me throughout my life
It was all thanks to everyone who supported us
Today, a day that we were able to experience

Your family, relatives, friends, and colleagues
For both of you
Because each and every one of us is an irreplaceable being

Watched over by all of you
We want to take our first steps as a married couple.

The wedding ceremony was chosen with those feelings in mind.

Surrounded by gentle applause and warm smiles
The two of you promise to continue walking together in the future.

-Wedding dress-

The bride chose
A dress with bold lace covering the entire garment.

We value a sophisticated atmosphere like that of an overseas wedding.
Don't lean too much toward trends.
Designs that will remain timeless and cherished for years to come.
This is the dress of destiny, created with such feelings in mind.

Wherever you are
The delicate yet striking lace is bathed in soft light.
As anyone can see,
It exudes a dignified beauty that leaves a deep, lasting impression on the heart.

- Flower Coordinate -

"Romantic, but not too sweet."

What the couple valued most in coordinating the venue was
It was such a perfect balance.

Possessions of THE SODOH HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO
While being in harmony with the modern space
Expressing a healthy and natural worldview.

Matching the dress with delicately drawn flowers and plants
We’ve filled the space with refreshing early‑summer greens.

Clethra barbinervis, Rosa banksiae, chamomile, viburnum, etc.
Fresh, dewy plants and flowers and
By pairing with seasonal peonies
A light and airy outfit that evokes the feeling of nature.

Even in a romantic atmosphere
An understated, sophisticated sense of ease and comfort.

The moment the guests stepped into the venue
A feeling that makes you want to take a deep breath
A space gently enveloped in a sense of happiness spread out.

- Wedding Reception -

I know the two of you well
A congratulatory speech from a mutual friend.

A look back at the two of you
The words that can only be spun by someone who has watched over them from close by
It wasn't just a smile; it was filled with so many emotions.

The whole venue was filled with that warm feeling.
A peaceful atmosphere prevails.

At the conclusion of the reception
Thoughts for the parents who have lovingly raised you up until now
I will deliver these words slowly and with gratitude.

In the eyes of her father, who received those feelings...
Tears welled up in my eyes...

I want to share with my mother the memories of the day I was born.
Rice you'll always remember.
A bottle of sake to express my gratitude to my father.
It was given.

I'm too embarrassed to say it normally.
The "thank you" was clearly received.
It was an irreplaceable time.

- Wedding Bouquet -

What added even more color to this already wonderful day was…
The bride's favorite flowers

Inspired by the world of the film
While cherishing the romantic atmosphere — or, alternatively, "While preserving the romantic atmosphere," "While maintaining the romantic atmosphere," or "While valuing the romantic ambiance."
The bouquet, with its vibrant pink peonies,

To further enhance the bride's charm
This has become my favorite bundle.

- Closing -

Express your gratitude to your loved ones
A day enveloped in the beautiful worldview that is uniquely yours.

Many blessings and
This moment was filled with "thank yous"

In the hearts of the couple and their guests
May they continue to bloom gently forever.
