I am currently planning a love bird themed wedding for June 27th! I wanted to share some ideas that I've found helpful. I'm going for a vintage kind of feel, as well as love birds. My colors are pastels. I hope these tips and ideas inspire you! Also, my fiancé and I like to call this theme "put a bird on it". See the video from Portlandia below! Start with a creative cake. The cake is a great place to tie the theme together and go out of the box. Thanks brides.com for the picture! My bridesmaids are wearing different colored pastel dresses. I love the softness of the colors! Instead of doing bird cages, you could do bird houses. This table setting is super cute! It's more of an outside/woodsy feel. Have your guest throw bird seed as you leave. It's environmentally friendly and fits the theme! Center pieces! I really like the classy vintage feel to this one! I'm doing something very similar, but with poems about birds, not pictures. Here are two ideas for numbering your tables. I did not number my tables because my wedding is more casual and does not have a seating chart. I found these two pictures separately, but I like the idea of having guests write you advice on these little slips of paper on the wall. It looks like the picture on the left was originally used for seating or checking in, but it would be neat if the guests could write their name on the front. Then, on the inside write their advice. I love the poem on the right. On mine, I changed it to say, "or be a godly wife". I know I will never be perfect! Get customized love bird invites. These are not mine, but I'm in love with these. They look hand painted! The calligraphy on the envelope is a nice touch. For my wedding, I am putting bird quotes or poems on each table in a vintage frame. I'm a Language Arts teacher. This is a fun way I can show my love for poetry, books, music, and movies. Have your ring bearer bring down your rings in a bird's nest. Get creative with your garlands. On the left are bird cut-outs cover with lace. On the right is a baby's breath garland with bird cut-outs hanging off of it. Both super cute and super cheap! Have your guest put cards in a bird cage. This is great because all the cards end up in one place, and it is apart of your theme! I've seen people do this at non-bird themed weddings. It makes it that much cooler that the theme is birds. Here are some ideas for super cute personalized wedding cake toppers. Click on the picture and it will take you right to their Etsy shop. If you are doing a simple cake, this would be a good way to spice it up. Sometimes simple is better. Create custom return address labels incorporating your theme. Here are some I found on Etsy. They're all under $30 and could save you a lot of time! Click the picture, it will take you to their Etsy shop.

AuthorI am a follower of Christ Jesus. I enjoy the simple.
Occupier of the Midwest. Introvert, but not shy. This is where I go on about the bible, movies, books, clothes, crafts, and anything else. Learning what it means to have a servant's heart. Teacher, Seminary wife, reader. behind the name:Jesus is the lamb of God. He was a sacrificial lamb that was slain for us. Jesus himself tells us to pick up our cross and do what he did. I long to be a lamb, able to lay down my own selfish desires and wholeheartedly follow Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said when Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die. I am learning to die to self daily.
I write because I love sharing ideas. I write because the internet needs more beautiful and things and more gospel truths. Here are some references from the scriptures: Revelation 12:11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death Revelation 5:11-12 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” 1 John 2:6 Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Archives
