As I mentioned in my last post – I will be using (not real) birds in my wedding… because I have this “thing” with birds these days…
Here is one of the birds that my florist found to include in our table arrangements (which are SUPER natural looking – use of moss, branches, etc.)
I love it! And, to make things even better, the cake guy said that he would also include some little blue birdies in the cake deco -no idea how that will look yet – but, I’m assuming it will work!
If you are doing your own projects for your wedding, you can pick up birds similar to these at a craft store. I found the one below at Michael’s – along with some smaller, and more colorful versions that I use in my jewelry boxes, and hair pieces for my store (which you can see a little further down in the post!)
This particular project was actually made with a wedding in mind – it’s hard to tell right away what it is – you are looking at a very decorative hair comb that you could just slip in your hair anywhere…
It is pretty big – but, it also has a lot of stuff in there… flowers, the bird, tulle, lace… a lot. The bird and the flower sit together in the middle of it all, and then below them, there is a strip of purple lace that actually ties around the bottom, as if it was a bouquet. It’s definitely very bold – not for everyone… but, I just love it! This one is actually for sale in my store currently – but, like I always say… I could easily do something custom to a customer’s tastes. You’ve just got to let me know!
The next piece is not yet listed – I just finished it, but I think it is so cute. And, you could so easily give something like this to your bridesmaids, or something like that!
It’s a little round jewelry box! I had a lot of fun making this one!
So, you can see that I’m a little into working with birds right now… but, hopefully it all gave you some ideas? You could have a florist, or another vendor do something for your wedding, like I am… or, you could DIY also! If both seem a pain, then just contact me and tell me what you want – I love working with people to make the perfect item for them! I could even do multiple pieces for bridesmaids!
