We're past the shortest day of winter and winging our way towards Spring. I couldn't be more thankful - even though there are still weeks of cold weather ahead, once January starts zooming by I begin to have serious hope that winter will soon be over. It's SO hard to resist all those gorgeous Spring fashions that are already filling the shops. After all, although we may be dreaming of warm, sunny days the reality is still way too cold for frivolous frippery.

Amongst all the glories that Spring brings, weddings feature prominently. It's a perfect time to start your new married life, isn't it. The blossoming of nature is such a beautiful accompaniment for a wedding. And so, if you're planning a Spring affair, then you'll be slap bang in the midst of hunting down just the right accessories for your day.

A Spring wedding calls for pretty pastels and crisp, fresh flowers, long ribbons and soft, light fabrics. A lovely idea would be to look right at nature for inspiration and have a bird-themed occasion.

I've also recently seen this Etsy shop, Rains End, totally focused on 'birdie' products, and some of them are just too cute to pass over. Sweet as sugar, these babies are!
