Today, we received a consultation from a couple who came all the way from Iga and wanted to make escort cards with coasters made of Japanese cypress wood for their wedding.
The husband is in the forestry business and wanted to use lumber from Iga.
Using cypress for wedding escort card coasters would create an elegant and traditional atmosphere.
The coasters can also be engraved with the names of guests and used as seating charts and gifts.
