Hand-Painted Save-the-Date: Birds of a Feather

October 10, 2012

I believe that Save-the-Dates can match your invitation package or it can be completely unique and different than the invitation package. This is why Hand-Painted Weddings sells its Save-the-Dates separately from its invitation packages, so you can choose consistency or a blending of styles.

The Birds of a Feather Save-the-Date would be beautiful in conjunction with the Bird Feather Invitation and RSVP card, but I believe it would also be beautiful with the String Lights Invitation or even the Back-to-School Invitation. The way the feather on the left is standing it almost resembles a quill pen.

The point is weddings are fun. They are an expression of your love so do what feels right to you. Lets not get all matchy-matchy because we think it should be that way. Lets have some fun!

The Birds of a Feather Save-the-Date is now available for ordering under the Shop Save the Dates tab.

Hand-Painted Reception: Antique Bird Cages

There are so many options with an Antique Bird Cage/Lovebirds theme wedding. This creates a fantastic opportunity to interpret the theme in many ways. Design elements that can vary up this theme can include using feathers, twigs (like a nest), birds, bird seed, or you can really go all out on the antique aspect of the bird cages with all sorts of antique items.

I used elements of the bird cage theme in my own wedding a couple of years back. The top photo is from our gift envelope “box”, where guests could slide their envelopes into the cage. We also put two lovebirds on the top of the wedding cake my talented mom made (but I will share more about that in another post).

Hand-Painted Invitation: Antique Bird Cages

The hand-painted Antique Bird Cages invite is a very cheerful, light-hearted take on the traditional lovebirds theme. What I love about the composition here is that there are two cages but both the birds decide to canoodle in the same cage together. It really is symbolic of relationships and marriage. Yes, each member of the relationship can happily stand alone in his/her own cage, but they choose to live and share their lives together.

The Antique Bird Cages invitation can now be ordered under the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations tab.
