Love birds

Lovely little love birds. What a charming, original idea for a wedding gift.

Block print wedding invitation

I've talked a lot about wanting custom wedding invitations. It's one of the few areas where I would want to spend money. And yet, given my background in art and design, it also feels like an area where I should go DIY.

I originally had my heart set on letterpress, one thing I can't quite DIY all by my lonesome; however, once I thought about doing block prints instead, everything clicked into place.

How perfect to have original artwork for the invitations! And block prints I can totally do myself.

I've shown a few different block prints here as inspiration!

Of course this last one would have to be two birdies. Love the red breast (heart).

Birds of a feather...

...will most likely flock together on our cake topper!

Love this one featured on BrklynBride.com.


Here's another option I posted about previously.

awwww....

Originally I thought we'd go without a cake topper, but I'm in love with these little doves. So adorable!

Wedding Dress as film-inspired art form

Again, controversial I know. But I actually like this. Less for the practicality of it and more as a work of art.

Tippi Hedren is certainly popular as she has her own Barbie doll as well.
