BEAUTIFUL WEDDING COSTUME
We currently display “Juni-Hitoe (twelve layered ceremonial kimono)” and “Sokutai (traditional ceremonial court dress for male)” at LST gallery.
They look overpoweringly beautiful.
They are on the display until the end of February.
So please come to have a look!
“Pink cherry blossoms”, “cranes”, “gold thread” and “Gosho-guruma” patterns on the green base.
“Kakeshita (the kimono to be worn under ‘uchikake’)” is orange colored “shibori (tie-dyed fabric)” with embroideries of auspicious treasure motives.
小物合わせ
花柄の刺繍襟と、レトロ柄の懐剣と筥迫（はこせこ）の組み合わせ。
Accessory cordination
Flower embroidered collars and a dragger with retro design case and matching “hakoseko (ornamental pocket book)”.
Yesterday, we held a “Wedding Fair” at Saami ryoutei restaurant.
This time, we proposed unique and original style of Japanese wedding reception along with the table and room decorations which gave a touch of Spring warmth and freshness.
Our “Hikigashi (souvenir sweets for the wedding guests from the host)” or “gift” suggestion were selected among very popular sweets in Kyoto.
The meal tasting is an important event for the bride and groom-to-be as they can have the meal in their guest’s position.
We are happy that we found many good response to our questionnaire like followings;
“The meals were so delicious, more than what we had expected.”
“Both the quality and quantity exceeded our expectation. They worth more than price.”
This “Wedding Fair” has been held more than 10years, twice a year in summer and winter since 2004.
It gives us, all the staff of LST, a chance to think what the most important thing for our job is.
“To make the wedding ceremony more beautiful, fun and precious moment”
We will try our best to make our clients happy though our planning service.
We would like to express our special thanks to “Okami”, head chef, “Nakai”, “Jikata”, “Geiko”, “Maiko” and all the other people who cooperated with the event.
*LST started Instagram to show what is going on at “Ryoutei Saami”. Please check it from “here” if you are interested.
In “The Byron Clark Memorial Hall” which is designated as a national important cultural property,
the outline of the wedding plan was explained to the guests.
その後、もう一つのチャペル「礼拝堂」に見学へ参りました。
Later, they made a tour to another chapel “Reihaido”.
WEDDING AT DOSHISHA UNIVERSITY “WONDERFUL ENCOUNTER”
On February 7th, we held an inspection and wedding consultancy meeting at “Doshisha University”.
Again, so many couples and their families participated in the event.
We would like to thank for those who came over in spite of the snowy weather.
I would like to give you a sneak peek of the event.
It is said that the founder of Doshisha, “Joseph Hardy Neesima” loved plum-blossoms rather than cherry blossoms.
In front of the chapel, red and white plum trees were planted.
They looked as if they were greeting the guests who visited there for inspection.
One couple who had graduated the university told me,
“When we were in University, “Clark Memorial Hall” was under repair work.
So it is our first time to step inside the building.”
They have been dating since their schooldays.
They recalled and talked about their college life each other, and I could see that they were really looking forward to their wedding.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to see them and looking forward to supporting their wedding ceremony soon!
Uchikake collection named “National Treasure” which I was attracted most.
The theme of the collection is “Momoyama and Keicho period” when a great number of gorgeous architecture was created.
「新婦様をはんなりと見せる、優しい打掛。
A soft colored Uchikake which makes the bride look very elegant and pretty.
Today is “Setsubun”.
So we got “Ehou-maki” sushi roll from “Sakurai (ryoutei restaurant)” as usual.
As the custom was originated in KANSAI area, I myself came to know it after I had moved to Kyoto.
Nowadays, it widely spreads even to the other categories than sushi (such as sweets), and we can find a variety of “Ehou-maki”.
However, at LST Wedding, it becomes our annual event to eat this traditional “Futo-maki” silently, facing “Ehou (=lucky direction of the year)”.
Tomorrow is “Risshun (=the first day of Spring)”, so another spring is coming.
We will provide sincere service to many client couples in this spring so that they can have happy smiles on their wedding day.
Thanks for the delicious “Maki-zushi (=sushi roll)”, Sakurai.
