Happy Tuesday cherries! How’s your week going so far? Doing good, I hope! 🙂 I have just recently learned making paper cranes (thanks to my lovely niece, Coeli!). I tell you, it took me a while to learn! Had to make a couple before I fully mastered the step-by-step folding without supervision. Oh, I made some of these beauties and placed them on my work table and some colleagues have even asked me to teach them how!

Origami or the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures has been making a stellar presence in DIY weddings. Crafty and organic-oriented brides (and her troop!) have masterfully learned this art in order to incorporate Paper into their weddings. Here are 8 fab ways to let Origami beautify your already beautiful wedding:

1. As an alternative bridal bouquet
