Spread out on two floors, the first for wedding plans, the second for costume rental, the store is a one stop shop for all things wedding. Says Sone Yasuhiro Design, “To express the charm of Yokohama, tradition/culture/dignity is anticipated. ‘Bridal Arcade’ is the set design concept. Space was long and narrow, so utilized this characteristic, we thought of this place as shopping street.”
