I decided to do the decoration all myself, it took me a year and a half! I did 350 origami birds to hang in the pergola for the ceremony because I&rsquo;m honestly touched by the nice origin story of those birds. I choose the color green because I love green Hydrangea flowers, which&nbsp;I also brought from my place for the wedding. We chose this place because all our family members and friends was staying with us for the weekend and it was amazing place in the woods near a very nice small lake, a real paradise in nature!
