“What a pair of love doves!” Chances are, if you’re reading this, your close friends and family have referred to you as exactly that. If so, and you both share a longing for all things organic and natural, maybe the loyal love bird would make the ideal theme for your wedding!

Whether it’s Spring or Summer, East or West, brides across the country are finding sweet perfection in combining the textures of nature with the sweetness of all things vintage. And in the center, unifying all these details and styles? The love bird, of course!

Love Bird Essentials

Even brides who want to barely touch on the lovebird theme generally find a few things indispensable: love bird cake toppers and bird-inspired invitations! If you have looked even a moment for these things, you have found adorable hand-crafted toppers in vintage fabrics that double as a keepsake you will truly want to treasure your whole life.

As for invitations, the stationery for these chic weddings is magnificent, setting the tone for everything that follows. And all those gorgeous designs pave the way for unforgettable programs, place cards, coasters and wishing trees. Grab a bird-shaped paper punch from a craft store and you’ll find dozens of uses, like bird silhouettes to scatter on your table linens or place on a wine glass, or even create a special lovebird-themed wishing tree!

Birds of a Feather

Want to soar with the theme a bit more? Weave ostrich, peacock or guinea hen feathers into the wedding party flowers, boutonnieres included. The bride can adorn her stunning ‘do with a feather headband or fascinator. And twigs bring rustic elegance to bouquets and centerpiece florals alike.

Speaking of branches, those bare-branch centerpieces bring woodland chic to any lovebird wedding. Or, add a touch more cottage style by elevating bird cages or craft store bird houses, dressed up with flowers, pillar candles, ribbons or grapevine wreaths. Place these on cake plates for a little added height and oomph, or even place them on piles of handsome books!

Favors in Flight

Stuck for ideas for favors? Lighten your guests’ hearts and set up a great photo op wwith mini bottles of bubbles topped with love birds. Or, give them sweet thanks with bird-shaped cookies whipped up at your favorite patisserie. You can even suspend cellophane-bagged cookies from branches for a whimsical presentation!

Or, place favor nests on each guests’ plate, and fill with candy eggs or those most classic of wedding treats: Jordan almonds. None of these hit the spot? Give your guests adorable birdseed ornaments they can take home and serve up to the local songbirds!

Love Tweet Love
