That is why sometimes people think I come to Holland alone and live alone but that is not true.
The reason why I moved to Holland was ... to live with my Dutch partner and recently I married with him.
The wedding in Holland has no rules so everything needs to be decided by ourselves. That is interesting and also a lot of work. But that is why our wedding became a day with many handmade things :)
I didn't wear a wedding dress but this...!
My mother made this "kimono" about 15 years ago for her daughters. And my 2 sisters set my hair.
We decided to use this kimono's red as our wedding theme color and I made a invitation card with my favorite poppy flowers in this color.
The hair clip which I wear is made by The Honeycomb. I found her works on Etsy and fell in love immediately!
We had a party at Giethoorn which is known as "Venice of the Netherlands". Me in kimono got many attention from the tourists and "congratulations" in several languages.
My younger sister is a cartoonist and she made a funny comic about us.
Something which I was really looking forward to was... a wedding cake!
Dutch sweets are generally too sweet for me and I don't like them so much. So I was worried that I can find a nice and tasty cake or not... but luckily I found Caek.nl which is managed by a young creative lady, Etty.
We orderd a wedding cake based on our invitation card and... this is it!
It has chocolate cream and apricot jam inside. Super cute and tasty! What a perfect combination :)
After we cut this cake, I changed my wear from kimono to a light dress. I decorated it with poppy flower applique and this necklace which I'm wearing is by a handmade jewelry store Widaro.
with my lovely family from Japan.
They're mini gift for our guests. I made coasters with poppy applique.
I also made some party bags for this day but will show them next time.
Thank for the people, the weather and the location, it was a really fantastic day. Never better :)
