Different types of birds symbolise different things all over the world; from peace and prosperity to good luck, happiness and peace. The term “lovebirds” is used to describe those that are in the throes of romance and a healthy dose of obsession with one another.

As part of the recent trend towards country chic and classic vintage styles, birdcages and images of birds and feathers have re-emerged in fashion, décor and wedding themes.

This makes a bird-themed wedding a great choice for a sweet, romantic and nature-inspired day full of love.

Here are just some of our ideas to make your avian day extra special:

• Use faux bird nests for candle holders or as large centrepieces.
• Include feathers in your attire by donning boas.

Twigs & Honey

• A birdcage veil or fascinator is a must.
• Birdcages can litter your venue and even serve various purposes (as a container for all of your cards or envelopes from guests, centrepieces crammed with fresh blooms, or candle holders, for example).
