I am completely obsessed with Peter Gabriel’s version of Mirrorball written by Elbow’s front man, Guy Garvey. There is one line I can‘t get out of my head, “We kissed like we invented it” I love the visual of young love that pops into my head every time I hear it.
If you have a favorite line from a song, poem or book that conjures up an image of you as a couple why not share it with your guests, there are many ways to go about it, here is just one simple DIY to give your guests a little insight to who you are.
Décor your tables: name card, cake & dining, with the image of song by placing these adorable birds snuggled into little nests, tweeting a song lyric that you love. You can do so many things with these little birds, perch them on a glass, fit them into your centrepieces, use them as wedding cake toppers and give them away as favours. If you are having a flock of these ‘song’ birds at your wedding, do not limit yourself to one lyric, choose as many as you have birds and let your guests discover the common theme.
Materials need for tweeting your favourite lyric
Materials:
- Birds, nests and moss (all available at Michael’s craft stores)
- Favorite lyric printed onto white paper (card stock preferably)
- Cutting board, xacto knife and ruler
Steps:
- Print lyric onto paper, the size and colour of the bird will dictate the font size and colour.
- Cut the lyric out with the knife, make sure you leave plenty of space on both sides so you can cut a ribbon effect and gently fold the paper onto itself for a 3 dimensional feel.
- Assemble.
