28+ 1000 Cranes Wedding. Today, country jewell is exploring the gorgeous tradition of folding 1,000 paper cranes. In a wedding context, the 1000 cranes symbolize the hopes, dreams, and well wishes of the couple as they embark on their journey together.


The crane is considered a mystical or holy creature (others include the dragon and the tortoise) in japan and is said to live for a thousand years. The crane is also a symbol of happiness, loyalty and fidelity because they are thought to mate for life. At the inspired bride, we are a huge fan of weddings that have stories within.
