A mutual love of art brought Caroline and Nicholas to Benesse House, a world-renowned art site and hotel in Naoshima, Japan, for an unforgettable experience with family and friends. The couple was eager to share what they describe as the island’s “primal element of creativity” with their loved ones. They kicked off their weekend wedding with a kagami biraki, a 300-year-old custom that involves breaking open a sake barrel to celebrate new beginnings. After much enjoyment of music, art, japanese cuisine, and dancing, the celebration culminated in a storm that magically broke the moment the bride walked down the aisle.
