I'm a 'yumejoshi' (dream girl), so I had a solo wedding (1st time)

Regarding the tweet above.
Notes on solo weddings. I hope this is helpful for those who are interested.
※Information as of 2021.

Where I requested the service

aim (studio name)

Price

A little under 80,000 yen per person + extra for the 'Girls' Party Plan'

・Total of 3 people: me + 2 friends
・I chose an S-class dress. Simpler dresses are cheaper, and if you use the first-time limited campaign, some can be as cheap as 20,000 yen.
※Extra... Ring I prepared personally, nail tips, colored contacts, bridal innerwear (5,000 yen to rent), outfits for my plushies, and a friend-group photo option for a little under 4,000 yen.

Service details

・Rent dresses and accessories
Decide on the dress and accessories during a pre-consultation. The price varies significantly depending on the items, so if you want to keep costs down, choose cheaper ones here.

・Makeup & Hair styling
You can consult on the atmosphere, hairstyle, etc., on the day of the shoot.

・Have photos taken with plushies
Consult about items you want to bring in advance. Most things seem to be allowed.
I've also seen people online bringing life-sized cutouts of their favorite characters.

・Have photos taken of just the plushies
Product shots. If I asked in advance, they took them while I was changing.

・Have photos taken with specific requested images or compositions
Requests are possible. However, there is an extra charge if you are taking photos with friends.

・Selfies, etc.
As long as it doesn't interfere with the professional shoot, it's fine to take your own photos with your smartphone or camera on the day.

・Receive all photo data
Maybe it was a limited-time campaign? I received about 100 photos.

Actual photos

I did some minor editing, but they take such beautiful photos that you barely need to do anything, which surprised me when I received them. (A cosplayer's opinion)

Other

・The staff is very understanding of otaku culture.
They know how to keep the mood up. They bring up topics geared toward otaku. They also understand yumejoshi. My plushies were called "grooms" the whole time.

・It's exciting even if you aren't a yumejoshi.
They compliment everything, which makes you happy. Not just after you're dressed up, but also things like the nail tips I brought or the handmade outfits for my plushies.
By the way, neither of my friends are yumejoshi.

・Girls can choose to wear a tuxedo.
One of my friends wanted a tuxedo, so she wore one for the shoot that day. It looked super cool. I want to do that too.

Summary

It's so much fun, so if you are:
・Someone who wants to marry their favorite character
・Someone who wants to try wearing a wedding dress, kimono, or tuxedo
・Someone who wants to get dressed up and have photos taken
・Someone who is already married but wants to take photos again
If you're curious about a solo wedding, you should definitely try it at least once!! I highly recommend it!!!

By the way, the title says (Part 1) because there is a Part 2. I had the next one taken somewhere else. I'll post those photos when they arrive.
