Love Bird Theme
Thursday, August 27, 2015
Having a "Love Birds" theme doesn't have to be cheesy. Here are some of the ways I incorporated it into my wedding:
Thank You Gift
My wedding planning made a turn towards this theme when I found these cute bird salt and pepper shakers. I thought it would be a very practical gift that guests can use. This pair by Kate Aspen features light grey birds with attention to detail. It came in 2 different sizes and I thought it matched us well since Kwang is very tall and I am petite. From the website description they are actually meant to be a baby shower gift but that's ok, nobody would notice or mind. I actually got really excited when I found out a popular Youtuber guru I follow also used them for her wedding. I found that the best website to buy these in bulk was http://www.beau-coup.com/ during one of their 30% promotion code sales. They turned out to be only $2.41 per set after discount and shipping. This website offers a huge variety of party planning products. I would definitely shop with them again. As tempting as it was, buying my thank you gifts knocked one less thing I would have to make for my wedding. I added my own cardstock tag and stamped our initials and wedding date on it.
Centerpiece
I didn't want the thank you gifts to look like it was randomly selected, so I wanted to incorporate more bird related things in my wedding decor. I was planning to make my own centerpieces to save money, and while I was at the craft store, I saw some floral birdcages displays, and it dawned on me! I can make flower arrangements inside birdcages as my centerpieces. It was perfect. When i did a little research I actually found a lot of wedding inspiration on this type of centerpiece style. I will go into more detail in a future post about creating my centerpieces and ordering wholesale flowers.
Logo
My graphic design friend helped me make a love bird logo for our photobooth which I also used for our menus. It incorporated my mint and pink colors with grey.
Cake topper
I searched around for love bird cake toppers but I either didn't like them or they were too expensive. I was inspired by these felt bird toppers I found on pinterest and etsy and thought I could totally make these myself. They turned out really cute and now I have them on display in my house.
Card Holder
Lastly, I borrowed a birdcage card holder from my sister. I decorated it with lace and burlap and made a sign for it.
Thanks for reading!
Did I inspire some ideas for your own wedding theme?

The beauty about this place is that they give you a somewhat blank canvas where you can create the wedding you envisioned, etc., which will be different from others. The staff at DC wedding venues is incredible and professional.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
