With Japanese weddings, it isn't customary to craft <anchor>a vendor team</anchor> you've sourced yourself. Instead, venues generally handle everything from floral arrangements and photography to dress rentals and makeup in-house. "The venues handle everything in Japan so choosing the one for your day is probably the biggest decision couples have to make," explains Matsuo. "The venues often handle everything in-house. They have their own bridal shop (for wedding dress rentals), makeup artist, florist and in-house photographer and videographer. Couples can choose from different packages the venue offers and it's rare to be able to bring in outside vendors." Matsumoto concurs, explaining that "though some wedding companies are trying to change the wedding culture by applying a freelance wedding planner, Japanese weddings are still very cookie cutter. Firstly, couples have to choose the venue and an in-house wedding planner will be in charge of each couple automatically. They can't choose a wedding planner normally. Also, they have to use in-house and/or affiliated florists, photographers, etc. Otherwise, they have to pay extra costs. In a city like Tokyo, weddings are getting more flexible and customizable, but practices in the countryside are still the same as in the 1970s."
