Speaking of colored wedding dresses, I found some gorgeous gowns by Juno, a Japanese wedding boutique that specializes in bridal gowns, tuxedos, kimonos and accessories that I wanted to share with you. 


It's interesting to note that Juno was first established in 1895 as Fuchigami Fines, a Kimono retailer in Fukuoka named after its founder Kusaburo Fuchigami. The wedding line was re-named Juno when the flagship store opened in 1994, 99 years since the company's birth
