Wedding Thousand Origami Cranes
The oriental tradition of a thousand origami cranes at a wedding is known as Tsuru wa sennen. The thousand cranes traditionally ensure a long, happy marriage full of love and joy. This is something that every couple is dreaming of!
It takes about two months to fold 1,000 cranes. The most common sized paper to use for this project is the mini-crane size, 3" squares. This helps to ensure the cranes can decorate the reception hall without taking over the room with their size :). It also means the cranes are easier to store and move around as you prepare for your wedding day.
Traditionally you get the mini-cranes in a rainbow set, so that you have all of the colors and their meanings represented - green for health, yellow for creativity, red for love, and so on. If you are interested in having all 1,000 cranes in a single color theme, we can look into getting the paper for you to do that.
Folding little 3" squares of paper is certainly a challenge, but the result is well worth it! The cranes become a gorgeous part of the decor, and they become a visual representation of the dedication and endurance of your relationship. Guests can then take cranes home with them, if you wish to part with them, and unlike most wedding favors, these are treasured and enjoyed! As you visit your guests over the coming months you'll find the cranes decorating window sills, bookcases and desks. There will be plenty left over for the bride and groom to do their own house decor with!
The total cost for 1,000 cranes delivered to you is $1,500. Please make sure you contact me at least TWO MONTHS before your event, to give me time to acquire the paper and clear my schedule for this large folding project!
