So, I was in Portland, OR. for my (host) sister's wedding. I was so happy to be back there to celebrate her new start with her lovely husband.
We are the same age and I spent so much time with her on our sophomore year at high school.
I was so glad and honored to be invited as a part of her family.
The theme colors of their wedding were navy blue and burgundy. I didn't know until I got there for the rehearsal but I happened to have my nails in burgundy :D
The aisle ♡
For this happy occasion, I chose to wear my newest kimono♡
A "hitoe" kimono with a pattern of forest in midnight blue gradation.
With a silver checker obi.
Romantic summer collar with lions and flowers.
Fake collar with a gold hem and a checkered pattern.
In our culture, a kimono with more layers has been considered to be more formal. So nowadays we give a look a higher rank by adding fake collars like this.

Total Look★
I love how this kimono looks like the cosmos rather than forest. But Oregon is a beautiful state which is rich in nature, it was something meaningful to wear this kimono :D
Shoes with a snake-like thong.
Snakes are symbolized as good fortune, right?
Carried my Whiting & Davis clutch.
It was still warm during the day in Oregon, but autumn was definitely coming. Leaves had started turning red. I almost wanted to stay longer to see beautiful views full of red leaves.
The wedding was so lovely♡
The venue was in the building with a long history as a playhouse and a theater.
I loved seeing guests dancing and enjoying themselves at the wedding cause we don't have a culture of dancing during a wedding in Japan.
I was so happy to be there!!!
Thank you for having me, Nina and Will.
Congratulations! Wish you both for more happy years to come♡
