There are just three days until the end of the year.
As we look back this year, we fondly recall thousands of smiling faces, happy tears of the couples and guests.
We would like to express our most sincere gratitude for the opportunities that we were able to serve our client couples’ wedding, one of the most important event in their lives.
In 2014, we newly opened “LST OATSURAE SALON” which enabled us to propose a large selection of the wedding costumes (kimonos) to our clients.
In January 2015, we are going to open our new shop in Teramachi Kyoto where you can find our original designed furniture and interior items. We’re so excited about it!
With all the staff, LST will keep trying our best to become one of the leading planning companies in the nation while being based in Kyoto.
In 2015, we’ll start on January 4th.
Thank you for your continued patronage.
We received a letter from the parents of the groom who had got married with our service the other day.
He is Shinto priest of Kamigamo shrine, and we introduced their wedding on this blog earlier.
The letter was filled with heartwarming words.
Thank you for your kind service at our son’s wedding.
As the parents of the groom, we feel relieved and relax now. We believe that the wedding ceremony is the most important event in one’s life.
Your diligent attitude towards the work impressed us very much.
We hope that you will keep providing good service for your clients from now on too.
Please take care of yourself.
Thank you.
They warmly kept watching over their son and his bride since the couple started prepare the wedding ceremony until the day of their wedding.
We could feel the tender love for their son from the letter and it also gave us a happy feeling.
We would like to thank his parents for writing us such a nice letter.
N-sama and S-sama got married at Yoshida shrine and held their wedding reception at Saami ryoutei restaurant. As the groom was acquainted with Takaya, Hanayuishi (a flower-hair-dressing artist), they asked him to arrange the bride’s hair.
Although they left all the details to Takaya and didn’t make particular request, the finished hair arrange suited perfectly with the bride’s image and her wedding costume．
Actually, the couple had not been particularly enthusiastic about preparing their wedding ceremony.
But having made various special experience, they looked so happy on the day of their wedding.
Congratulations!
There was a wedding ceremony at Kamigamo shrine under the cloudless blue sky, and afterwards a wedding reception at Saami ryoutei restaurant.
The bride and groom were fagotto (bassoon) players living in Germany, and among their guests were many musician friends. They played an original piano composition or others played clarinet for the newly wed couple which made the reception so special.
Before the end of the reception, the bride and groom together played fagotto for the guests…
Everyone listened intently the soft and gentle tune.
Actually, it was the first time for me to listen the tune of the fagotto. It was a beautiful sound.
The bride and groom looked differently from when I met them to prepare the wedding.
While listening the music, I imagined the couple playing the fagotto in the orchestra in Germany.
I appreciate their cooperation from Germany to prepare the wedding with us.
We received a year-end gift from the mother of the bride who had got married at Chishaku-in Temple with our service this summer.
In the enclosed letter, we found lots of good remarks on our service.
And we were so glad to hear that the bride’s father was satisfied with our service and said “I’ve never seen such a good wedding ceremony like this.”
We still remember the bride and groom’s happy faces after the wedding, and their parents’ warm words of kindness. Both bride and groom’s mothers were smiling gently.
We appreciate that we were given the opportunity to serve them and also for the heartfelt present for us.
Thank you.
A SNOWY LANDSCAPE OF THE WORLD HERITAGE NIJO CASTLE
Autumn has gone and Winter has arrived.
And we had a rare site of snow for December here in Kyoto.
The scenery around Nijo Castle which is usually full of greens has completely changed and covered with white snow,
and it shone beautifully in the bright sunshine.
We are so happy that we could help organizing so many couples’ weddings at the World Heritage Nijo Castle this year,
and appreciate each opportunity we were given.
There will be the fifth “Wedding Consultancy Meeting” at Nijo Castle on January 12th (Mon.), 2015.
It’s a rare opportunity that you can visit “Seiryu-en” and “Koun-tei” that are not open to the public usually.
If you are interested, please contact us for reservation.
On November 28th, I served at a wedding ceremony at Kamigamo shrine which was at its best with Autumn leaves.
The groom was a Shinto priest of Kamigamo shrine.
The bride is a cheerful and kind lady.
Their reception was held at “Kinobu (ryoutei restaurant)”, attended by the chief priest of Kamigamo shrine and his wife as their baishakunin (=matchmaker).
Many relatives, friends, colleagues and superiors of Kamigamo shrine were invited to the reception.
It was a gorgeous and yet friendly reception which reflected the bride and groom’s personality.
When I visited Kamigamo shrine yesterday, the groom told me that the bride is watching the film of the wedding every day and many guests told him that it was such a memorable event for them.
We really appreciate that they gave us such a wonderful opportunity to support their precious wedding.
Congratulations!
We had a dinner with the people form “Sakurai (ryoutei restaurant)” the other day.
It was a precious opportunity that we could look back and talk about our client couples who held wedding receptions at Sakurai this year.
The owner said “We would like to do what others cannot, something special that only Sakurai can do. I always keep it in my mind.”
I am going to hold my own wedding reception at Sakurai.
Having listened his words, I thought of smiling faces of my family and friends who would be at the reception.
Thank you for the wonderful time, Sakurai.
