''Wedding Peach'' is a MagicalGirl story centered around a wedding [[{{Motifs}} motif]]. A mixed-media project from 1994, it was overseen by Sukehiro Tomita, known for being a major writer on the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' series and a key figure in codifying the MagicalGirlWarrior genre. The manga, illustrated by Nao Yazawa, ran in ''Ciao'' between 1994 and 1996 and was eventually compiled into 6 volumes. The 51-episode anime was produced by {{Creator/KSS}} and Creator/OLMIncorporated and directed by Kunihiko Yuyama. Partially due to their shared writer and character designer, the story is often compared to ''Sailor Moon'' more than any other MagicalGirl series.

* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: The Saint Something Four (it provides the page image), which ultimately function as the [[P

to:

[[PlotCoupon Plot Coupons]] and [[MidSeasonUpgrade Mid-Season Upgrades]]. (The series was being made during a time when Western-style weddings and wedding traditions were becoming more popular in Japan.) The four in the plot are:
** The wedding ring that Momoko's mother Sakura was given ("something old").
** A pair of hand-crafted blue earrings that emerges from a grave; in the manga, it's specifically the grave of Yuri's grandmother, as her grandfather had made them for their marriage ("something blue").
** A pendant; in the manga, it's a pendant that Hinagiku's mother received from her father that Hinagiku herself is given by her mother, while in the anime a friend who'd owned it since childhood lets her "borrow it forever" ("something borrowed").
** A tiara; in the manga, it belonged to Scarlett's mother, and Scarlett had borrowed it for a play ("something new"). Although the object is in the anime, its origin is not explained.
* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: {{Omake}}: Two bonus anime omakes were produced for the original Japanese releases and were released on the two respective box set editions of the American [=DVDs=].
** The first short bonus episode was a parody of [[HumongousMecha mecha anime]] featuring the girls piloting giant mecha that resembled their transformed wedding dress appearances.
** The second short bonus episode was a {{pastiche}} of {{Toku}} shows (in particular the SuperSentai shows).
** Other extras include interviews with the Japanese seiyuu.
** Another bonus is a music video of the three angels as {{Idol Singer}}s, singing the second ending song, "Virgin Love".
* OneWingedAngel: Jama-P does this in the manga, though he's still beaten easily. The villain of the second OVA does this too.
* OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchPhrase: "I will devote the love wave to you."
* OreOnna: Hinagiku uses ore, even while wearing a pretty yellow wedding dress.
* {{OVA}}: ''Wedding Peach DX''
* PairTheSpares:
** Humorously averted in the ''Young Love'' spinoff with the other girls chasing Sir Limone.
** Somewhat done in the anime; [[spoiler:Takuro develops a crush on Momoko, and Hinagiku has a crush on Yanagiba; as those two get paired off with Yousuke and Yuri respectively the two end up with each other]]. It is established beforehand that the two were ChildhoodFriends, so it would be more along the lines that they were set up to be paired before they became spares.
** Averted in the manga; [[spoiler:Takuro's crush on Momoko is absent and it's implied that part of the reason he accepted the DealWithTheDevil in the first place was jealousy over Hinagiku liking someone else]], and during his first appearance her reaction towards him borders on {{Tsundere}}.
* PimpedOutDress: The love angels' wedding dresses, and several other dresses that show up, bridal or otherwise.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Pink shows up a lot, like in the weapons and transformations, because this is a show about love angels.
* PlotCoupon:
The Saint Something Four (it provides Four.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Although
the page image), which series is primarily about love, the topic of the girls' friendship and how they deal with disputes between them comes up every so often.
* ThePowerOfLove: The theme of the show, usually used to cause enemies to make a HeelFaceTurn or disappear. [[spoiler:Including the BigBad herself.]]
* PrehensileHair: Nocturne uses this, as does Cloud in the ''Young Love'' spinoff.
* PrettyInMink: On the cover of a soundtrack album, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momoko_and_her_holiday_bear.jpg Momoko wears a green mini dress with white fur trim, and a white fur headband]].
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: A lot of the manga's plot, despite
ultimately function being distinct from the anime, was written around its ability to tie into the anime; concepts like the "love wave" were only fully defined after they were formulated for the anime, and right after the first arc the angels' outfits change to reflect their anime designs. [[WordOfGod Nao Yazawa herself]] states that had the anime never been approved, the manga would have been a short one that ended with the Pluie arc and the reveals of [[spoiler:Yousuke as Viento]] and [[spoiler:Yanagiba as Limone]] would have happened much earlier, hence why the foreshadowing for those is thick and there are traces of the story leading to a more final climax in that particular arc.
* RedStringOfFate:
** Played with. In the anime, Momoko knits a muffler as a present to Yanagiba and {{Imagine Spot}}s them wearing it together. In the next frame a thread leads offscreen, and reveals that Yosuke somehow invaded the ImagineSpot and is also wearing it, [[BelligerentSexualTension much to her displeasure]]. [[spoiler:Ironically, later in the series, a muffler that Momoko makes for Yosuke - this time with more legitimate intentions - becomes a plot point.]]
** In an anime episode, a piece of yarn ends up representing the bond between the girls, except in a [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]] manner.
* {{Roofhopping}} Monster fighting occasionally involves this.
* SexySantaDress: Momoko wears one in an {{Omake}} picture, and Potamos wears one for a festival, even though it's not explicitly for Christmas.
* {{Shojo}}: The show stars three (later four) love angels that fight monsters while doing school issues and looking for a boyfriend.
* ShoutOut:
** In the third OVA episode the character of Golden Mask could very well be in refernce to Tuxedo Mask from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. This could be all the more probable considering Sailor Moon's seiyuu, Creator/KotonoMitsuishi, was in the episode playing Potamos.
** Scarlett Ohara's name references Scarlett O'Hara from ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' (though in this case her surname is written in Japanese kanji). [[spoiler:For extra points, her lover in the manga, Dean Butler, is named after Rhett; reportedly Yazawa wanted to go full force and name him Rhett, but she felt that as their names when rendered in Japanese would both end in -''retto'', it would be too repetitive.]]
* SoLastSeason: The Wave of Love is powerful enough to deflect Pluie's Demon Breeze and seriously wound him, but to Igneous, Potamos, and Reine Devila it's a minor annoyance. Potamos also easily shrugs off Peach's Sacred Crystal Love For You and Daisy's Sacred Tornado Dreams.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** The usual o/ou Japanese romanization issues.
** There's never consensus on how to spell "Rain Devila", as "Reine" (as in the French word for "queen") is used on Yazawa's site, but "Rain Devila" is the romanization used in the official subtitles.
** A similar issue occurs with Scarlet or Scarlett,
as the [[Pformer is used officially but the latter preserves the ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' reference.
** Yazawa's site also romanizes Dean Butler's name as "Dean Battler".
** How to translate ''akuma'' is a point of contention; "demons" would make a better angels/demons dichotomy, but "devils" is favored by the official dub.
* SpoilerOpening: The second opening of the anime.
** It technically spoils one of the character revelations not because of the animation but because of the song. At one point the singer sings [[spoiler:"angel" on Momoko's face and then "devil" on Yousuke's, promptly followed by him being kidnapped by Reine Devila, thereby giving away his identity when few clues about had been given beforehand]].
** Said opening also presents the endgame couples right to your face ([[spoiler:Momoko and Yousuke]], [[spoiler:Yuri and Yanagiba]], and [[spoiler:Hinagiku and Takuro]]). The first one had been blatantly obvious since the first season, but it's technically a spoiler for the second and third ones because [[spoiler:this is before the revelation of Yanagiba's identity and Limone's past with Lily]]. Up until that point [[spoiler:Yanagiba had just been a very distant senior, and when the opening debuted Takuro hadn't had much interaction with Hinagiku as he'd mostly been crushing on Momoko]]. You might be able to have picked up the signs for the last pairing ''only'' if you were simultaneously following the manga.
* StealthParody: Both the anime and manga were created by the lead writer of the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' TV series, so although it may not have been a ''parody'' it may have been a venting space.
* SuckOutThePoison: [[spoiler:Limone to Lily]] in their anime backstory. [[spoiler:When he attempts it the second time, the fact Lily says [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay the exact same thing]] her past incarnation did reveals her identity as his past savior to him.]]
* TentacleRope: With vines in episode 16.
* TrouserSpace: One of the devils pulls a carnival strong man test from his pants.
* UmbrellaOfTogetherness: The love angels think Yanagiba has a girlfriend because of this trope. Later when they try to stage it themselves, Yousuke comes (with an umbrella) [[{{Hoyay}} to pick him up instead.]]
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Played with in the first piano episode. Yuri's [[ThePlan plan]] consists of invoking the ghost of a friend's dead sister with piano music so she will encourage the friend to resume practicing piano. Both Momoko and Hinagiku think this plan is ridiculous. Played straight in that their real plan, having Momoko pretend to be said dead sister, is interrupted by a devil attack, but ultimately inverted as the plan never goes into motion because the real ghost ''actually shows up'' and encourages the girl, just as in the original conception.
* VictoryGuidedAmnesia: This only happens in the anime, [[spoiler:and not even in the main series, but in the first OVA episode, as a PlotDevice. Then the OVA goes and undoes it in the space of the first episode, but only for the four main heroines.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Jama demon Blackie disappears partway through Volume 6 after serving to distract the Love Angels. The author [[LampshadeHanging notes this]] and comments that he's probably living peacefully in the redeemed demon world.
* WomanScorned: The villains make some women act like this when they are BrainwashedAndCrazy. In the anime [[spoiler:Reine Devila becomes the villain due to this trope.]]
