grizzle_hen Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, Just wanted to get some peoples thoughts on dove releases for weddings, as we went to a Wedding Exhibition yesterday in Kirkcaldy and there was a women there with two white logans advertising dove releases. Richard held one the birds and they were lovely and it got me thinking about having a dove release for the wedding, especially as Richard is a pigeon man and all. It made me wonder where dove releases for weddings came from (I know about dove symbolizing peace)?? Also what are peoples thoughts on it?? And has anyone had a dove release for their wedding and how did it go?? Or even having 'chocolate" or another coloured pigeon released for the wedding?? (One of Richard's friends dad has lavendar coloured pigeons which are lovely).

chickadee Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I have to admit the kilts do look nice, but not sure if he'll go for that! Ah but, does he have the legs for it. ;D
Peckedhen Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I'll do one for you if the wedding is in NE Lancs. The Rapido Man has contracts all over - he might be worth a try. I don't know where the releases originated. It is big in the States and I know that they do them in Greece too. The Dove symbolises love, peace and new beginnings and of course they pair for life. Some people even theme the whole wedding around the doves. You could release the birds from a display cage or a heart shaped basket or, even each hold a dove and release them together. You could then have another basket with a dozen or so birds in and release these to represent the love of your family and friends. The photographer needs warning how fast the release is and, I always take a spare pair of birds lest, as has happened :, he misses the birds entirely!! ;D Sue
883girl Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 does anyone know where releasing doves for a wedding came from???? would be nice to know some background if we are going to do it. I know that Asian weddings hae been releasing doves for a very long time
grizzle_hen Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Thank you peckedhen, I'll keep this all in mind when we start planning everything. And in answer to chickadees question - I couldn't possibly answer :P

pjc Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 the web link is a nice site! Do the birds all live/return to the same loft or are there lofts dotted around the region?
DOVEScot Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 the web link is a nice site! Do the birds all live/return to the same loft or are there lofts dotted around the region? Normally the one loft for small numbers, but I think the Fifer was involved in the Queens Golden Jubilee where they released 50 birds from all different lofts :-/
