wedding decorations<\/a>, and having a white dove inside makes them even more special. Bird cages come in various sizes and shapes and could be placed at the entrance to your ceremony or reception. Wedding doves could only be used as decorations for a limited time so they couldn’t be used as table centres.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Practical considerations of including wedding doves<\/h3>\n
Here are some of the practical arrangements you will need to consider before you set your heart on white wedding doves:<\/p>\n
If you are planning a dove release, your venue will need to be within a certain distance of a wedding dove supplier. The doves, the majority of which are actually white homing pigeons, will need to be able to fly home.<\/p>\n
Make sure you can practise the dove release beforehand. It may sound simple but it’s not something you do every day and you don’t want to get it wrong in the middle of your wedding ceremony. If you have particularly small hands, check that the supplier can provide a small bird for you to release.<\/p>\n
Find out whether the wedding dove supplier will work together with your photographer to make sure you get some great photos of the release. Ask if the supplier will bring spare birds in case the photographer isn’t able to get pictures of the actual release and you want to have photos taken afterwards.<\/p>\n
Generally the doves will be kept in a basket until the moment of their release, which will be on full view of your guests during the ceremony. Ask the supplier if the basket can be decorated to match your wedding theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4505,"template":"","au_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-32477","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-weddingservices"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
