A wonderful friend of mine, Niura Schwartz, introduced me to a beautiful composed image of a Bird of Paradise… of course I had to ask if I could use this photo for my next Inspiration Friday. The Bird of Paradise is said to be the ether of life. But being a wedding blog of course we love the alternative meaning which is “marriage” itself. It is said that the distinct colours of the Birds of Paradise connect and fuse like a husband and wife once married. Birds of Paradise come in many species each with it’s own distinct colour pattern. The male uses these colours in correspondence with it’s fluffed feathers and interesting dances to entice the females. If only men could be so enticing… well I suppose they’d have to be or my obsession for weddings could not exist… lol! Happy Friday!!! Enjoy your weekend in paradise!
