We love to feature creative weddings where couples show their talents through lovely handmade items, and this is why we are head over heels in love with this bride and her gorgeous, vintage-inspired affair. Mizue & Roy’s intimate wedding was chock-full of fun and personal details. The stationery, graphics, head piece, bride and bridesmaid dresses, and even the groomsmen ties were all handmade by the bride and her friends from Tokyo! You are going to love the timeless details and sweet moments all captured perfectly by the talented Tanarak Photography. Through his natural and vivid style, Tanarak turned all the true emotions into precious memories. Join us as we share Mizue & Roy’s touching wedding story.
Mizue & Roy’s love story
Mizue & Roy: We met in Cambridge where we both attended school and were in the same foundation class. However, soon after we started dating, we had to move to different cities for college. We made countless trips by train for an hour and a half between King’s Cross station and Leicester.
After graduation, our distance grew even further. Roy left for Hong Kong, then Mizue moved from London to Tokyo. Living in the same city might seem trivial to most couples, but it has always been our dream. Finally this dream came true after our 10th year together.
Wedding planning
Wedding theme: Classic, vintage-inspired, a mix of UK & Hong Kong Style

Best moment: Introduction by the groomsmen,”I present to you the newly married couple, Shun hei & Mizue” when all guests rung the bell.
Favorite wedding details: The invitation, graphics, jewelry, head piece, bride and bridesmaid dresses, and groomsmen ties were all handmade by the bride and her friends from Tokyo! When it all came together along with the elegant flowers, cakes, and seeing the guests smiling, it was a lovely scene we could never forget.
