An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. A thousand paper cranes is also traditionally given as a wedding gift as a way of wishing a thousand years of happiness and prosperity upon the couple. The crane itself is a majestic bird which mates for life and is extremely loyal to its partner and is therefore the perfect symbol for a wedding. There are many ways to incorporate this beautiful accent and symbolic depth to your event! Above are some of my favorites...as chopstick rests, placecard holders, or favors or more ambitiously hanging strings of them from the ceiling, altar, or trees. Or join the larger Crane Chandelier Project, and become part of a worldwide visual representation of love and peace!
