As a wedding planner, I have the privilege of working with clients who not only adore Japan but also have a keen eye for design. One element that often captivates them is the art of hand-drawn calligraphy.
Meet Ritsuko: The Master Wedding Stationer
My friend and one of my trusted collaborators, Ritsuko, Breeze Paper Design, is a wedding stationer who excels in creating beautiful paper designs for menus and place cards.
Ritsuko lives nearby, so she often visits my studio for meetings. We enjoy sipping Kona coffee while discussing our projects, and our conversations almost always begin with an enthusiastic discussion about color schemes.
A Shared Passion for Color
Ritsuko and I share a similar sensibility when it comes to color.
We both appreciate not only the theory behind color combinations but also the unexpected pairings that can captivate the eye. This shared passion extends to my floral designs as well.
No matter how skillfully a bouquet is crafted, it won't look beautiful if the color scheme feels off.
Crafting Perfect Combinations
Ritsuko and I find great joy in discussing how to bring out the individuality of our clients through carefully curated combinations of paper colors and floral hues. I believe that wedding stationers and florists need more discussion to make a perfect match in this aspect, each enhancing the other’s work with our respective expertise.
Charming Packaging
Her packaging and wrapping upon delivery are also incredibly charming, adding an extra touch of love to every piece she creates.
Special Touches for International Couples
For couples who wish to have their wedding in Japan, especially those with roots in Japan, the most popular items are the place cards with alphabets written in Japanese calligraphy. These unique touches can add a special "Wow!" factor for your guests.
Impress Your Guests with Thoughtful Design
If you want to impress your guests, make sure to pay attention to paper design as well. The meticulous details in stationery and calligraphy can truly elevate your wedding and create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
