Origami is the art of paper folding originating from Japan. It is known and practiced all over the world. The shapes and sculptures that can be made with origami is practically endless as people come up with new designs every time. Did you know that origami has also been used in weddings?

Flowers – In place of real blooms, origami flowers can be a pretty alternative. It is unconventional, which is exactly what will make your wedding unique. They can be used in bouquets or as decorations in your wedding. They can be hung on strings or on the walls.
Invitations – Why have a boring invitation with a piece of paper and an envelope that is too common? Using origami for your wedding invitation will give an extra spark before your wedding even begins!
Gift bags – Gift boxes and gift bags can also be made using origami. You can have pretty designs in many shapes and sizes. Ditch the plain bags and create something your guests will want to take home.
Cake toppers – Most wedding cakes have an old-fashioned plastic bride and groom toppers. Instead, have one made entirely from origami. The best part is you can take it home to remind you of the memories.
Hanging screen – Imagine having 1000 pretty cranes hanging in your wedding. Your happily ever after may just come true as an ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods.
Table décor – You can have place names using origami or sprinkle some origami butterflies (or anything you want) around the table. It will not only make a pretty table, but one that is not too overwhelmed with “stuff”.

The best thing about origami is the paper options are endless: colourful, textured, printed, small, big, thin, and many more. Also, they can be recycled and reused easily. It is something that can be a keepsake for your guests to take home. They are pretty and your wedding will be too.
