Birdcages!

May 24th, 2009 @ 2:40 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

When I saw these pictures on the awesome Duet Wedding Blog, my heart skipped a beat with excitement. I am in love with the styling, the birdcages, the colors. It inspired me today and made me think of so many fun things I could do with them, and I had to share these with everyone.

I found a few places to find cheap birdcages. EBay is a great place to look. These are all less than $25 each on eBay.

I wrote about Areo Home a few days ago. They have some birdcages, but they are a bit pricier.

I agree that table setting rocks. I think we were having an outdoor wedding I wood just because it looks pretty cool.

I am using the usual birdcage card thing. I think I got mine at cost plus a while back. They are getting easier to find lately. I love those old wood bird cages though, so rustic!

We’re using birds as a running theme - which means incorporating gorg birdcages as well!!!

Our “guest book” is a wish tree, with a birdcage hanging from it. The birdcage entrance is actually cut in the shape of a heart.

Our “card box” is a big vintage birdcage I got off cragislist for $10. $10!!!!!

Our centerpieces are giant, DIY bird nests with glossy white faux-porcelain birds and our table numbers nestled in the middle.

birdcages are such a great idea :) i’d try to incorporate them as a card holder or wish bowl alternative.

I really love how vintage, elegant and romantic birdcages look at weddings - I haven’t been to any weddings that have incorporated this trend yet, but I have seen so many spreads on them, like yourself. There aren’t very many ways for me to use one during our wedding, except as a card holder. I’m planning on getting ours from TJ Maxx.

Definitely check craigslist! I got my card holder (birdcage) from there.

Wow, those bird cages are actually really beautiful, true pieces of work. The bird cages I get are generally stainless steel and are pretty cheap, I get them on ebay too

I’m using birdcages in my wedding as center pieces alternating with different candlelabras. They’re all going to be mismatched and filled with different flowers and greenery. I’m super excited!
