You all seemed to enjoy my quotes post so much that I thought I’d do one on birds. As I said before, inspiration for your theme can come from anywhere and right now for the holidays, birds just seem extra appropriate. I always think back on that scene from Beauty and the Beast where they’re feeding the little birds in the snow. Cute! So, here’s some inspiration!

First off, check out these pea-cock details on this real wedding photographed by Laura Novak.

Don’t you just love that bride’s headpiece? Here’s another pea-cock feather headpiece from Oh My Deer.

Chelsea from Oh My Deer also designed these lovely invites for The Not Wedding.

Here is a DIY bird invitation kit courtesy of Martha Stewart and some cute bird-cage hanging tags from etsy.

Speaking of stationery, how cute are these placecards? At this same wedding, those adorable pink birds were used as chair decorations! Too much cuteness!

These adorable bird lanterns would be perfect to light the way for your guests, but they could also make great centerpieces in addition to these bird’s nest centerpieces. I like how both of these use the same object, but they turn out so differently. One with bird’s eggs and the other with flowers. Pretty!

Bird’s nests can have a lot of usage as well. Aren’t these ring pillows cute? The doves in the first one are very in tune with the holidays, and the second pillow would be perfect for a spring wedding.

These mini bird’s nest wedding favors would be the perfect touch and check out the DIY instructions here. You could also give your guests some dove-shaped Christmas tree ornaments.

Lest you thought I’d forgotten the best part, here are some lovely bird inspired cakes. That first cake topper is precious and the felt birdies on the second cake are the best! I think I may buy some just because!

Finally, just because I mentioned it, here’s the scene from Beauty and the Beast I referenced. Enjoy the birdy goodness!
