Planning An Anime Wedding Theme: Tips For The Perfect Day

Looking for a wedding as beautiful as Naruto and Hinata’s? Or as memorable as Burnet & Kukui’s in Pokemon? Then it’s time to start planning your anime wedding theme!

Here are a few tips from Peerspace to make your big day absolutely unforgettable.

Tip #1: Rent your ideal anime wedding-themed venue on Peerspace

When you are searching for the best anime wedding theme ideas, your first stop should be Peerspace! Peerspace is an online marketplace of unique spaces you can rent for any occasion — including your wedding!

All you have to do is type in your location on Peerspace’s wedding page, and within seconds, you’ll see tons of amazing, beautiful venues in your area. You can filter by guest numbers, specific looks, prices, and more.

Here are a few anime options you’ll find on Peerspace from around the U.S.: 

A gorgeous Japanese garden

What better place to get married than a beautiful garden with a Japanese-style bridge, a small fish pond, Japanese forest grass, and stately birch trees? Especially if you have an anime wedding theme for your big day!

This gorgeous Peerspace venue in Washington also offers a romantic archway, the perfect spot for a small wedding ceremony or romantic interlude. 

A beautiful Japanese restaurant

An anime wedding theme should include tons of delicious Japanese food. So why not just host your reception at a beautiful Japanese restaurant that can provide the catering for you?

This Atlanta, Georgia Peerspace venue comes with a sushi bar, full bar, outdoor patio area, and a mural Zen garden! You can send the host a Peerspace message for more details on their discounted catering prices offered when you book out the venue.

A historic Japanese venue

Japan has a beautiful, rich history that would be amazing to be able to showcase as part of your anime wedding theme. And with a historic club venue like this one in Los Angeles, doing so is easy!

The hand-carved beauty and authentic architecture of this space are so jaw-droppingly gorgeous, that it has even been featured in countless movies, like Memoirs of a Geisha!

A fun Japanese sushi bar

Take your anime wedding to the bar — the sushi bar that is! This 20,000-square-foot sushi bar can accommodate up to 50 guests and includes hair and make-up stations for getting ready.

Catering and equipment rental is also available from the Peerspace host. See all the pictures from the space and learn more about if this venue would be right for your anime wedding on Peerspace!

A cozy Japanese-inspired cafe

For an anime microwedding, a Japanese cafe may be just the venue you and your spouse have been dreaming of. This downtown rustic Japanese-inspired cafe in San Francisco is quaint, cozy, and oh-so-cute!

When you rent out this venue, you can also ask the Peerspace host about catering options — they make ordering food and beverage services seamless and easy!

A Japanese retro home

Torn between a retro wedding theme and an anime wedding theme? Peerspace has the perfect solution — do both! This 70s California home comes with amazing Japanese accents so you can fill both of your wedding-themed dreams!

The home features an amazing network of vintage Japanese-style shutters and a beautiful covered patio with a lemon tree, perfect for your ceremony!

Tip #2: Send anime-inspired Save the Dates

Introduce your anime wedding theme to friends and family with an anime themed “Save the Date” card! For the photo on your card, consider booking a Japanese-themed studio on Peerspace to take your photos.

Your pics could feature Mount Fuji in the background for a natural backdrop or the streets of Tokyo if you’re a city lover!

Tip #3: Decorate with anime art

Fill the reception walls with anime art for your wedding! On Peerspace, you can find tons of fun artsy spaces that may match your theme, or you can work with a Peerspace venue host that lets you hang your own anime art.

It might also be fun to commission an artist to draw an anime-style picture of you and your spouse to hang on the wall at the venue… and then treasure forever, of course!

Tip #4: Celebrate with traditional lantern lighting

Toro Nagashi, which translates to “floating lanterns,” is an August celebration in Japan, marking the end of the buddhist festival of O-bon. The floating lanterns are set afloat to commemorate the souls of ancestors past.

Even if you don’t have an August wedding planned, this is still a fun activity to plan into an anime wedding theme!

Tip #5: Design an anime-themed cake

Don’t forget the anime details in your wedding — like the decorations on your wedding cake! One fun idea is to offer guests Pokemon cake pops instead of a traditional cake at the wedding.

Or for a more traditional look, how about a fondant wedding cake with cherry blossom motifs?

Tip #6: Schedule some Yosakoi dancing

If you’ve seen “Hanayamata” you are probably pretty familiar with Yosakoi dancing. This fun style of dance mixes traditional and modern Japanese dance and would be a great dance feature for your reception.

Even better if you can get your whole bridal party to dress in the elaborate and decorative Yosakoi costumes for a planned performance!
