Does anyone have any interesting/unique ideas for decorating a wedding or reception with paper?

This may sound crazy, but I love a challenge. I'm considering making the bulk of my decorations (for a smaller wedding, thankfully) out of paper. I have found a few different kinds of paper flowers that are really pretty and I am considering making 1000 paper cranes as well. Any other ideas? Thanks for your input!

I love your idea!! For some of our wedding decorations and stationery, I used Japanese washi paper. What kind of colors or patterns are you using?


Given the delicate appearance of paper crafts, I would suggest using a very limited palette of colors, or several shades of the same color-- to really make the room pop!


If you havent already, check some books on Japanese paper crafts-- there is so much more than just the standard origami--


Your idea sounds fun! Good luck!
Reply:Actually, there's a magazine called Paper Crafts that did a special wedding issue full of paper decorations with all sorts of wedding themes and stuff. You can probably still get a copy of it at www.papercraftsmag.com.

Reply:you could make a ton of beautiful flowers made out of vellum. punch holes in the center and poke christmas lights through each one. string several strands with vellum flowers and you will have a beautiful and unique decoration! hope this helps!! your wedding will be fantastic!! :)

You can also make animals and hearts, even cups that really hold water.
Reply:Go to the martha stewart weddings website and there are some ideas for decorating with paper (the tissue paper used for gift wrapping). I liked the square vases with the tissue paper wrapped around it with a candle inside. You can make them any color and the glow is so pretty!
Reply:"'Paper Curtains'' with lace .Lace can be cut out like snow flakes... Instead of throwing flowers throw paper confetti.
