Loving all the paper backdrops I’ve been seeing lately. These two caught my eye this week: one in a ceremony, and the other for a reception venue. Kayla and Newton, above, folded 1000 paper cranes and hung them on their ceremony altar as their backdrop, which contrasted with a dark curtain. Shot by Altmix Photography. See their entire wedding here. Below are vintage music sheet flowers pinned on a wall for a reception designed by Courtney of Merriment Events.

    I love these! I made my own paper background for a DIY photo booth. I probably punch out over 1,000 flowers! I have pictures up on my blog!

    I love the paper cranes, and I do love folding origami… but I can’t imagine folding so many! They did a great job!

    It must have taken ages to make all those paper cranes. Still looks like it was worth it as the overall effect is very impressive.
