Kimono Fitting with Peter and Amy
Today Peter and Amy came to our offices for their kimono fitting. Although we've been emailing back and forth, this was the first time that we have met. I was a bit nervous but I was very happy to meet the lovely Amy and Peter, who stands at a rather tall 195cm! They were both very patient and kind, so everything went very smoothly.
Choosing Kimono:
Within our building is our partnered kimono boutique. This makes it possible to directly choose kimono after a consultation in our bridal salon. Peter and Amy were really taken by the gorgeous uchikake (bridal over coat kimono) and hiki-furisode (long sleeved) kimono that decorate our offices.
Guests are welcome to photograph the fitting process, so there was a lot shutter clicking going on. After some explanation about kimono, Peter and Amy began to look at their kimono. Peter was surprised his crested montsuki-hakama (male bridal kimono) fit so well considering his size. (In most cases we are able to provide specially sized kimono.)
Amy had the freedom to choose from three white shiromuku kimono of different patterning, design and colour. She choose a kimono with a multilayered collar with floral designs, and the kimono was processed to have glitter to the surface. It was a beautiful traditional shiromuku.
The kimono looked great on both of them and we were so excited to see them on the wedding day.
Schedule confirmation
Next, we went over the schedule for the wedding day, from the morning taxi pick up to the dinner in the evening at Tokan-so, a traditional ryotei (gourmet) restaurant. The schedule was broken down by times so they knew exactly what would happen.
Hair/Make-up Rehearsal
After the meeting, it was time for Amy's make up rehearsal. Because it takes so much time to put down the bridal kimono, there really isn't time on the wedding day to decide hairstyles and make up. This all needs to decided beforehand. The stylist will then recreate the look on the wedding day. The professional stylists can work with almost any hair length or texture. Amy went with a cute look with braided extensions. Lovely!
Once everything was finalized, it was the end of the dress fitting. Since they were on vacation as well in Kyoto, we wanted to keep the time as short as possible. The kimono fitting, schedule confirmation and make up rehearsal was all done within 2 hours!
With all the details decided, there is just the wedding day to look forward to!
