Fun With Themes, Part II: Birds

Continuing with the theme series, it seems lately I’ve noticed a zillion adorable “bird” items on the market:
Fun With Themes, Part II: Birds : wedding Mosaic7 Mosaic7728117

Images, left to right, from top:

1. Many brides-to-be know about the beautiful birds and cake toppers from Ann Wood, but they’re pricey and made in limited quantity. Here’s a similar bird that sells for $36 on Etsy. Or, for a really inexpensive version of a bird cake topper, check out the $3.99 dove couple at Save-on-Crafts.

2. Correspondence cards from The Paper Source, $12.50 for 8

3. Wendy Kromer cake ornaments, $25 each

4. Favor boxes, DIY instructions on Martha Stewart’s site

5. Birdcages for card boxes or decoration, $29.99 for 2 at Save-on-Crafts

6. Feather comb fascinator, 29 British pounds at BD-i Design

7. “Aviary” journal (perhaps a charming bridesmaid gift?), $21.99 from Elum Designs

8. “Lovebirds” steel ornament, $18 at Bunny Maxwell

9. Bird’s Nest favors, $1.50 (for nest) at Wedding Things

10. Bird hair stick, $5.50 on Etsy (Or, how about a pair of cheery bluebird bobby pins for your “something blue”? Available for $5 on Etsy.)

11. Crane paper lantern, $6.50 at The Paper Lantern Store

12. “Birds of a Feather” invitations from White Aisle (see also their lovely Port Antonio bird invitations)

13. Peacock wall decal, $5 on Etsy

And finally, a link to one item that’s currently sold out — quirky “Birdie with Bubble” tags (for gifts, welcome packages, etc.) on Etsy.

Is anyone having a bird-themed wedding? Are there any fabulous items out there that I missed?

LOVE it! Great finds! I’m wondering if you would have any suggestions for a frog prince theme I had this idea because of my love of frogs, but I can’t seem to find anything!

I suppose a bird release would be related.

I loved the idea of a bird theme, but it just didn’t fit into the colors I’d chosen. Those are a lot of pretty things up there though!

My wedding will be sort of bird themed (I don’t want to overdo it)–the invites have two tiny bluebirds and I am planning on incorporating much them into many of the other DIY aspects. I love the stuff on that photo montage, Miss Tulip!

Maegan, a peacock theme sounds great! I love peacocks because they’re a lesson in choosing to be positive — “they don’t focus on their feet, which are very ugly, but on their tail, which is very beautiful.”‘ (Not bad advice for a married life together!)

Melanie, I’ll see what I can find for our “frog princess” — sounds like an adorable theme!

I have done custom bird cake toppers and bird-themed favor tins. Check my blog, under “weddings” for photos.

How about a bird’s nest (fake or recovered) to carry the rings down the aisle?
