Bird Cages and Invites


On one of my many reading sessions in Bridal frenzy, I found the perfect centrepieces for our wedding. These white wooden birdcages, originally I found from a company called Pollen Nation, and then I found a company called Lavenders of London which had a huge variety of different sizes and shapes.. ( as well as anything else you could dream of for a wedding!)

Our cages aren't all the same. I have one for each table, four of this kind, four taller more pointy ones, a couple of small pergola shaped ones, and a larger more ornate white metal one for the top table. I plan to have butterflies on wire flying in and out of them, and I have bought some artificial peonies to use just the heads inside laying on the bottom of the cage. I also have ribbon, some with our names and wedding date on, and some just pretty and pink to thread through the cages.


The invites started coming together following a browse on a site called Calico crafts where I found some beautiful paper, to go with some beautiful butterfly stamps I bought on line ages ago. I always make my own cards so definitely wasn't going to be buying wedding stationary. I have made a protocol and they are beautiful. Not gonna post a picture of them until they go out to my guests!
