Getting married in Tokyo is a big business and there are plenty of shops and services available to help make your day special. Most shops will have a variety of dresses off the rack, but will also offer some design options. Belle Mariee is a great choice if you’re not sure which way to go and it also offers a comprehensive menu of wedding services right down to flowers, the cake and the hall. Novarese has beautiful Italian designer dresses, which work well for bridesmaids too. For other necessities, Tokyo’s comprehensive department stores offer formal outfits, cards and gifts. Most major department stores also have gift registries. In recent years it’s become more fashionable to add a personal touch to your invitations, so head to Loft or Toyku Hands for lovely paper, stamps and a range of items for invitations and centrepieces.
