12 Days of Weddings - Four Calling Birds

We are excited to reveal the newest edition in our 12 Days of Weddings blog series, featuring inspirations drawn from Day Four of the famous 12 Days of Christmas song. A fun little known fact about this verse is that it originally named four colly birds, not four calling birds. In other words, the original quartet of birdies consisted of simple blackbirds. While we love the cheeky little Christmas card (shown to the left) that plays off the more well-known phrasing of the song, our main set of images features colly bird silhouettes and vintage style in keeping with the original verse. Enjoy!
