Vintage Birdcages

I have always adored decorative birdcages. They’re so whimsical and romantic, and for this reason they make ideal wedding decorations. They are so effortlessly chic they will add a touch of elegance to any wedding. They are wonderfully multi-purpose and can be used as cardholders, lanterns when hung from trees, or table centrepieces. You can fill them with flowers, fruits, cupcakes, candles, peacock feathers, perfume bottles or beautifully bound antique books – the list is endless. Alternatively, source an artificial nest from a garden centre and fill it with chocolates. To further beautify, tie a plush satin ribbon, co-ordinated with your colour scheme, around the middle or on the top. Alternatively, use pearls or fairy lights. Pearls add to and perfect the vintage feel when loosely draped around or over birdcages, as do trailing fairy lights. Petals also add to the elegant, feminine aesthetic when scattered around the outside. Customise according to your individual style, the trend is easily adapted to accommodate any wedding. Vintage birdcages are readily available, either on the high street or online; it’s also worth looking in the classified ads and on eBay, where there will inevitably be brides selling off their birdcages. You could even hire them
