We wanted a really non-traditional wedding that is unique and represents who we are. We went with a japanese inspired wedding with theme colors of gray & aqua (as you can see from the invitations i designed, pictured below). There are lots of exciting details incorporated in the wedding but i will keep that a surprise until after the wedding. :D

Do you have any ideas for japanese touches we can add to our wedding?

yay first!!! Wow everything looks so exciting for you wedding and Im definitely loving the spin on the guest books, some practical advice please LOL the japanese theme with your chosen colour scheme is definitely unique! (yes I was in a crazy wedding faze for a while which really scared my bf LOL) Are you planning to throw your bouquet? Guest favors? To be honest, I love edible guest favors because...well...everyone likes to eat right? Because, who really wears a key chain with someones face tattooed on it, maybe your close family will but I think the majority of ppl will prefer chocolates LOL I also find that seeds are very popular now too =S
As for suggestions I was thinking maybe you could incorporate paper cranes, cherry blossoms, (sake?LOL) or some sort of japanese food (matcha etc.)? Im sure ochi will have some great suggestions =P Wow only 74 days left!
awww congrats hon!! i didn't realize you were engaged!! :) congrats!!!
I like to pretend I'm a jack of all trades, but the Japanese twist is outside my realm of experience. So I got nothing!
But there's nothing boring about "wedding suff". =)
I love your guest book! What a great idea. And congrats on getting married really soon!
...or wedding stuff.
Paper Lanterns in your decor? Spring time there's always round paper lanterns that come out. Cherry blossoms are Japanesy
I'm also biased on the origami. Origami cranes! :) haha. Or maybe origami bouquet. But that's me, not you. I love your theme and love that you are designing your own invites

Wow your wedding ideas are so cool! Love your wedding invites! And comfy shoes for the reception are definitely great. My friend gave out flip flops to the gals during her wedding reception. :P
Hmm can't seem to think of other Japanese touches.. um, origami stuff. :P
Second the first comment about paper cranes! And you must have a playlist of Japanese artists, which I can supply haha. That sneak peek of the wedding dress made me all giddy - it's really coming soon! And since you're "procrastinating", I will gladly spend one of my days in Vancouver with you and helping you with last-minute details :D
I love everything you put together. Your invitations look super cute and so do those Tom's! Congrats!

Wedding stuffs can't be boring!! :) Last spring I was so busy with our wedding in summer. This year we've 5 weddings to attend.
WHOA you're getting married. This shows how long i've not been active in the blogging world, and coming over to visit your blog. Congratulations my dear :D
I love your theme :) so unconventional and exciting. Can't wait for you to reveal it all after the wedding. Have a blessed married life with your partner. I wish you the best!
What about incorporating bamboo-inspired decorations for the table setting or exterior of the wedding reception??
You know, you don't need to do anything special regarding hair and makeup either. But I understand you want everything a certain way for the big day. You're going to outshine MH even more than usual. =)
(Now watch, someone else w/the initials MH will read this, think I mean her, and be offended!)
wow, your wedding looks like it's going to be really fabulous!!! XD

OMG i'm so excited for you and it looks like everything is going to be super wonderful! I can't wait for you to talk about your wedding much more. It's definitely NOT boring lol. I have an obsession with wedding planning and all that. Love what you've come up with so far.
Geisha make up for your bridesmaids lol.
Urm, totally agree with jap-based songs: anime, games, jdorama - ever watch beautiful life? Youtube instrumental konya tsuki no mieru oka ni.
Or instrumental first love utada hikaru is amazing too :)
Sushi for food? Sake for drink?
:) exciting theme....
those are simply lovely ideas!! love it.
omygosh! great touch of fun and quirkiness in your wedding invite :) i know this is way too early, but congrats :)
so pretty. good luck! x hivennn
wow! japanese-inspired!!! :) i'm excited to see more of what you've prepared! the orchids are beautifuuulll!!! :) and the parasols! OMG! excited for you! tip: don't let anything ruin the special day. even if it's not turning out as planned, just smile and enjoy and be happy! :)
i wish you best wishes in advance kym.
when i think of japanese themes, i am thinking of bonsai, cherry blossoms, japanese sliding doors, sake, samurai, ninja, and of course kimmidolls and hello kitty :)
sake vs champagne? or at least sake cups, those are fun :) can be used as wedding gifts as well.
i LOVE everything you have going on so far!
this wedding sounds beautiful! gd luck with all planning! I think Sakuras would be a nice touch - it means new beginning as it is spring!
