Traditional vs. Modern Japanese wedding celebrations

Japanese weddings offer couples the chance to embrace either a traditional or modern approach—or a beautiful blend of both. Traditional Shinto weddings are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, with ceremonies conducted at shrines and couples dressed in exquisite kimonos. Rituals like the san-san-kudo sake exchange and prayers for the couple’s happiness are integral to these ceremonies. Modern weddings, on the other hand, often feature Western-style elements, such as walking down the aisle in a white gown or hosting a lavish reception at a luxury hotel. Many couples combine these styles, opting for a Shinto ceremony followed by a modern reception, to create a day that reflects their unique story.Keywords: destination wedding japan (387).
