Birds have been a hot trend in the design world for a few years now - you can find them on everything from textiles to website design. Doves and nests have been a traditional favorite for weddings as well - representing everything from "lovebirds" to "peace" to the couple's new nest. Bring them together and you have everything you need for hip meets traditional wedding style.

I'm mad about birds, but if you're considering using birds as your wedding theme, I would recommend a bit of restraint. We don't want guests to feel like they've walked into a Hitchcock movie! A little "birdie" style goes a long way - maybe you want to include birds in your stationery, or give robin's egg blue Jordan almonds as favors - the choices are endless, so it will be hard to narrow down your options.

If you love birds, now is your time! Birds are thoroughly modern and very chic, indeed. Check out the gallery for inspiration:
