My wedding giveaways

This autumn I'm getting married to a wondeful man, who's also an origami passionate. :)
And just to show you how wonderful he is, an image speaks 1000 words.. :D

Even though our folding techniques are different ( Andrei is into pure origami, made out of one sheet of paper, while I'm folding mostly...kusudama ), having the same passion definitely makes our relationship special and makes us support each other in many ways.
As a downside to this, our small 2-rooms apartment is full of paper models, paper squares, paper pieces, paper paint and everything that has to do with paper. And this is why, we bought ourselves a bigger apartment, but I'll write more about that in a different post.

So you can imagine that origami will be a big part of our wedding. I started making the giveaways: different types of kusudama, in all colours and shapes, decorated with some beads and a small model at the end of the hanger. On that particular model I will write different words, such as: love, happiness, luck, health, peace and so on, but in Romanian..
Each complete arrangement will be placed in a box and while the boxes look all the same, the guests will be invited to choose one at their will, giving them the surprise of discovery regarding the model, colour or message that they received. 

Here are some of the arrangements I've made so far:
