    I will be backing this with pretty purple metallic cardstock, but I have to pick a design first!

    I LOVE the black birds!!

    But, if your going for a more modern feel go with the black birds, but if you want more a whimsical feel go for the second w/ the swirls.

    i voted for gsfdwa.jpg, which i think is the calligraphy bird.  i love the detail around the bird--so pretty! both of them are great, though.

    I voted for and really like the calligraphy bird - it feels very sophisticated. But it definitely depends on your style for the wedding - if it's more traditional, do the calligraphy bird in the corner; if it's more modern, go with the 2 black birds.

    Calligraphy bird! I think it's a bit more vintage looking than the black birds.

    I just think the one bird one is a little country, but in a blah way. The silhouette still has that country feel, but with a wee bit of edge...if that makes any sense

    The black bird silhouette almost looks too dark.  The single bird image is more airy and classic.

    @luli29 yeah, such an awful problem i have :)  i agree with your take that the one bird is a little country.  typically i lean toward modern in my style, but then i went and bought a vintage wedding dress so there goes that!  our venue is in the country, in fact the inn is a converted barn!  i'll have to make the choice for the birds to reflect the hubs and i or the venue.

    so far leaning toward the two birds because they represent us, and our cake topper has two birds on it.

    They are both really really gorgeous.  I have a hard time picking my favorite!  I choose the black birds because of symmetry but I LOVE the calligraphy birds too.

    thank you everyone who voted and gave the wonderful comments!  i showed the future hubs and he liked the 2 black birds better, i like them both so he's the tie-breaker. 

    black birds win.
