How do you picture your wedding ceremony? Imagine having white doves take off and circle in the sky above as you are pronounced husband and wife. It is a fitting tribute to the love and commitment that you are celebrating.
A display and release of white doves makes an elegant addition to most types of weddings.... Are you planning a theme for your ceremony?These are some of the wedding styles/locations/themes that our doves have featured in:
Church or chapel wedding (any religion or denomination)
Formal or Casual Garden wedding
Beach wedding
Country wedding
White wedding
Heavenly themed wedding
Some people have a part of their wedding ceremony dedicated to special family or friends who have passed away. The dove release represents the spirit of their loved ones being with them on their special day.
"Ann of Green Gables" style wedding
Backyard wedding
Animal featured wedding (which could also include a horse&carriage + butterfly release + the bride and groom's dogs get walked down the aisle with the bridesmaids!!! Yes, I really have seen such a ceremony!)
There are a number of different options available for displaying and releasing the white doves at your ceremony.
Release a Pair of Doves The bride and groom each hold a dove. After being released the two doves circle around together and then fly home - a gorgeous symbol of a couple's new life together.
The Bridal Party Dove Release We bring a dove for every person in the bridal party to release for a photo. Plus we bring an extra 2 doves for the bride and groom to release by themselves.
Release a Spectacular Flock of White Doves We bring around 20 white doves and liberate them from their boxes at the conclusion of the ceremony. It is optional for the bride and groom to release a dove each as well.The doves will circle around the sky in a big group before making their way home.
Fantails (also known as "Dancing Doves")
Fantails are white doves bred especially for their interesting peacock-style tail. These doves cannot fly very far, but they are popular at weddings because they wander around and entertain the guests. Sometimes they even twirl around on the spot as if they are doing ballet!
Children absolutely love them, and they will be an interesting addition to your photos.
Ornamental Cages
We have a selection of these cages/boxes available to displaythe release doves or the fantail doves. Cages can be placed at the entrance to your ceremony to entertain guests as they arrive. Or they could be displayed inside a church or out the front of a garden ceremony.
The doves could also be taken out of the cages to be handed to the bride and groom for release at the end of the ceremony.
The wooden boxes are specially designed for comfortably transporting the birds to events. If you don't want ornamental cages, or if you are releasing more than 12 doves, the doves will come straight out of these boxes for hand releasing or flock releasing.
Any of the following cages are available as a cost-free bonus.
Big White Cages We have a matching pair of cages that holds around 6 doves or 4 fantails per cage. It is great for displaying the flying doves before we hand them to the bridal party, friends or family to release. Or displaying the fantails before we let them out for people to hold for photos.
The Heart-Shaped Boxes These are our most popular displays. We also have a matching pair, so you can have them displayed on each side of the ceremony or church doors.
They hold up to 6 doves in each cage. You choose to hand-release the doves or simply open the cage for a flock release.Each cage sits on an elegant white pedestal.

Rectangular Cages We also have a matching pair of these cages on elegant stands, so they are great if you want to place 2 doves in each outside the church or at the front of a garden ceremony. The rectangular cages are a good option if you don't want to hold the doves. You simply lift the lid for the doves to fly out.
The Treasure Box This is great idea if you want to surprise everyone. This basket can be placed on a table, and while everyone is wondering what is inside you can lift the lid and up to 10 doves will fly out. Voila!
Dove Wedding Bubbles To continue the dove theme, and give your guests some "audience participation" while you are releasing doves, we now supply dove wedding bubbles.
Each bottle has a dove on top of a pearlised white container with approx. 20 ml of non-staining bubble solution inside. The wand is inside the cap.
There are two styles: a hexagonal bottle (as pictured above) or a heart shaped bottle (as pictured below). Both styles have a dove on top.
The hexagonal bottles are 65 cents per bottle. The heart shaped bottles are 95 cents per bottle.
For no delivery cost, we can bring the bubbles to the church or garden ceremony in an attractive basket if you are already releasing our doves. We can give them to your guests as they arrive (at a garden wedding) or when people are coming out of the church (at a church wedding).
You are also welcome to buy the dove bubbles even if don't want to release doves - or you are releasing doves somewhere outside the Sydney Metro region(where we can't bring doves). The bubbles will be posted to you within Australia or overseas (shipping charges apply).
