Hello, love birds! Your heart all aflutter with wedding planning for next year? Looking for the hottest wedding trends to make your shindig the party of the year? Look no further, Art Deco Gal has the trend forecast for you right here on de Lovely Affair. So far, I've covered stylish wedding dresses, the popular rainbow color palette and this week, I'm all about Birds- the go-to wedding theme and decor piece for 2013.

Birds are going to be everywhere; big ones, little ones, gracing invitations, hanging from ceilings, topping cakes; couples are branding their wedding from beginning to end with these feathered friends. Whimsical, romantic, and charming, a perfect compliment to outdoor, woodsy, garden and DIY weddings. “Everybody’s heard, bird, bird,bird…bird is the word”; you heard it here first.

Here are some of my favorite unique bird decor ideas for your wedding. There are so many variations of this theme, so, pardon the pun, let your imagination take flight!

Bird’s Nests 

We have great DIY project ideas for these two bird themed wedding decor pieces coming up soon.

And there you have it - my Wedding Decor Trend Prediction for 2013. In my personal opinion, the Love Bird Wedding theme is one of the cutest I've seen by far. It can be incorporated into any style wedding - vintage (swoon), rustic, outdoors, whimsical, garden, it works everywhere! Just remember to take the theme from beginning - save the dates, all the way through to the end of your big day - thank you cards for a cohesive and branded wedding look.

What other bird ideas do you think will be a big hit in 2013? We'd love for you to join in the conversation over on Twitter and Facebook. Won't you stop by and say hi?

Have a delightful day!
