Wedding Decoration

From Japan, with love

I am feeling super impatient right now! I am waiting for my next batch of origami paper to come in (from Japan) and it's not here yet! Gahhhhhhh I'm anxious!

One of the DIYs I am doing for my wedding is making our ceremony backdrop. As of right now we plan on getting married on this big blue pedestrian bridge in the middle of downtown that goes across the Grand River. I am making 1,000 origami paper cranes to string together and hang from somekind of rope across the bridge. It will be really cool looking but as a bonus, supposed if someone makes 1000 cranes they are granted a wish.

I'm very excited this project and it's a piece of cake to finish because I have so much time before the wedding. I've made 76 so far while I'm at work or watching TV.

Every time I get paid (every two weeks) if I'm done making the cranes with the paper I have, I order a new batch. I ordered this batch from an Etsy seller in Japan a week ago and it isn't heeerrrreeeeeeeeee.

I know it will get here...and it's not going to be speedy because well, it's being shipped form Japan. But that doesn't stop from anxiously waiting for the mailman every day!

Aww I know how you feel. That's how I felt about my paper lanterns. They are from over seas too. But you have to give it a little while. A week isn't going to get it fast unless you got express mail. Can't wait to see what they look like.

I finally got the origami paper and I love it...bright colors with polka dots! However, this paper is thicker than the other paper I've purchased so it's a littler harder to fold. I'll have to get some pics up!

The peacock paper just shipped today. I should be so impatient about that...I don't even have to THINK about sending invitations for like 18 months!!!
