The problem with planning a wedding over the course of a year and some months is that you change your mind often. My latest “brilliant” idea is to incorporate birds into our shabby chic theme.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. Of course I won’t be using all of these…it’s too late! I thought maybe someone else could benefit from my tardy, yet cute bird theme. 
For the bathrooms: Robbin’s Egg Soap from Romantic Flowers.
In centerpieces: Love Doves from Romantic Flowers.
Favors: Mints
Favors: Almond Dragees
Ring Pillow from Knottie Sharkyinnc.
Invitations: From Ille Custom Invitations.
Vintage Postcards for Save the Dates or Table Numbers.
Stamps for various wedding projects. I used these on my english crackers. Sharkyinnc used them on her crafts as well.
Postage for Invites.
Wedding Cake from Martha Stewart.
Also, from Martha via academybeldam.
Programs, lantern centerpiece (Which I am still desperately searching for! :)) and place card holders from NetterB.
And finally, a bird cage for cards at the reception.
That’s brilliant. And it goes with my colors too. I might steal your idea if that’s okay.
Of course–you have to get ideas from somewhere! 
very pretty~
I think the cake would be nicer if the birds weren’t caged in. (they’re free and open as opposed to jailed in) =P The bird theme would def. complement your shabby chic theme.
I am doing a bird theme as well based off my invites from Hello Lucky. Beau Coup sells birds nest favors for your robin’s egg soap or almond dragees. Thanks for all the inspiration pics and links.
Love it, love it, love it. I’m in Australia - our wedding (next week !) also has a pale blue and chocolate brown theme and I’ve used the Cavallini stamps a lot throughout. Our gift tags are very very similar - can’t believe I’ve only just found this now. Beautiful.
I too am having a bird theme! I have the same bird stamp kit and love it - will use it for the place cards. I am also having birds in my invitation (although I didnt use Hello Lucky, which are adorable!). I want to use the little millinery birds as centerpieces on the tables, but realize now that they need to actually be stuck in something! Any ideas much appreciated!
Our theme is Vintage Botanica - we’ve used birds throughout - I’ve used the Cavallini stamps and our colours are also chocolate brown and pale blue.
I love it so much - perfect!
I also recommend this stamp - http://www.impressrubberstamps.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3005D_bird_berries&Category_Code=
Did anyone experience difficulties with the stamps shown above? I could use some tips to get them to look better!
What a wonderful collection you have come up with! Inspires me for a fun spring fling next year or an afternoon tea party with the girls.
A re-creation (by the same cake designer) of the Martha Stewart cake was featured as one of the Real Weddings on theknot.com - Jessica and David, Bedminster, NJ. Both are sooo cute.
I’m leaning towards having a bird theme as well! If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get that bird graphic at the beginning of your post? I’d love to photoshop it and use it for my invitations/programs.
You know I have no idea where the graphic came from…I had it saved on my desktop from a while ago. Sorry! 
you’ve laid out an entire bird themed wedding right there! 
It’s not too late! I can still add them to your STD cards! I got your email and have been meaning to email back (been swamped with work!) I will be sending the proof today! ^_^
BTW - that first bird is one from my website! I drew him! ^_^
Oh good! I’m sorry I didn’t credit you–I couldn’t remember for the life of me where I saw it. Sorry bout that!
heehee! 
no problem! You are actually always very considerate of artist copyrights and linking to the source etc… I wasn’t worried at all! Just thought you’d like to know! ^_^ as well as EBree too! ^_^
I love the lovebirds idea!
Hi - has anyone tried the bird luminaries? Any suggestions for how to make them?
Thanks!
I am doing a nature/rustic chic wedding theme and I’ve used nest clipart from MS word for head table placecards and I have two flower girls that will be carrying little baskets with spanish moss and birds nests (Marjolein Bastin through Hallmark). My card box will be covered in moss and have a little bird house and mini birds perched on top. I did bubble magnets (glass half marbles) as my favour but at the time I didn’t think of birds so I just did a flower theme from scrapbook paper but no reason why a bird themed scrapbook paper wouldn’t work!
