Lovely Mint Green Houmongi with Pale Pink, Lavender, and White Flowers

Houmongi are one of my favourite kinds of kimono! This pink/rose houmongi from K-Bridal is surely lovely! The circular motifs make such an interesting pattern flow, and the muted colors with this sprinkle of gold create a very harmonic and elegant palette. It's a traditional-style piece, but I think it's a bit more unique compared to the most common ones, pattern-wise. A great mix of creative and classical look! I love the detailed motif. There are flowers from all seasons, a common "trick"…
