CARD SHARP
I had so much fun creating this couture set for Carter and Fred’s Southern wedding (price upon request, cecinewyork.com). I love how the main invitation slides out of the paper bird cage, and how you can even open the little door to peek at the bird bellyband.

PUT A RING ON IT
The cut of this Amethyst Trifoil cocktail ring ($2,025, kristinpasternak.com) makes it sparkle like crazy.

BIRD IS THE WORD
This glossy white dresser ($2,795, iannonedesign.com) is not only wonderfully graphic, it’s also made of eco-friendly materials.

FLOWER POWER
Carolina Herrera’s okra floral-print silk faille gown ($5,290, carolinaherrera.com) feels like a floating summer garden.

LATEST DISH
The embellished design on this Birdwatcher’s Dessert Plate ($12, anthropologie.com) adds a whimsical touch to any dinner party.

HOLDING STEADY
Decorated with enamel and crystals, this Roland Bird Box by Jay Strongwater ($125, neimanmarcus.com) is both sweet and useful—an elegant little gift.


DOUBLE BUBBLE
Lollia’s Imagine Foaming Bubble Bath ($49, lollialife.com) would be nice to include in a bridesmaid’s goodie bag.


SOUL CAGES
When I designed these intricate laser-cut escort cards from the Spring collection, I wanted them to feel custom-made ($12.95 for pack of eight, cecinewyork.com). Hang them on branches for your next party!

CENTRAL PARK
Located in my hometown, the Botanical Building in San Diego’s Balboa Park looks like a giant, old-fashioned bird cage, although it actually houses orchids and other tropical plants. Couples can even get married in the majestic Prado, which is just around the corner (balboapark.org).

HANG LOOSE
Scott Mikolay’s Aragon briolette earrings ($2,950, desiresbymikolay.com) combine polished amethysts with tiny diamonds for a regal effect.
