WHY AKAI ITO EVENTS?
The question I am asked the most!
AKAI ITO EVENTS was established by Marta, the agency’s founder, who has a passion for legends and a romantic spirit. She opted for a unique name that would spark curiosity and captivate people with its story. AKAI ITO is dedicated to fulfilling dreams, creating legendary weddings, and crafting unforgettable memories. For Marta, this narrative embodies one of the most beautiful love stories.
The legend of Akai Ito, or the “Red Thread,” originates from Japanese folklore. According to the tale, gods connect individuals destined to meet and fall in love by an invisible red thread tied around their ankles or pinky fingers. Despite any challenges or distances, the thread guides them towards each other, symbolizing fate and love that transcend time and space. You can find these details in the logo of the brand. Every detail was thought to bring together the meaning of the name represented in one image (the word map related to different cultures and love around the world, the plane related with love distance that wins, the wool ball connected with the string to the heart acts for the AKAI ITO legend and finally, the rings representing marriage.
Could a name better encapsulate her vision? We believe not.
Can other image truly capture her grand vision? We believe not!
