It very well makes sense and as other people have pointed out I also
want to say that use a gui
virt-manager for this that way you will save yourself a lot of time.
I have a correctly configured bridge which looks like this
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.14
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.1.0
       broadcast 192.168.1.255
       gateway 192.168.1.10
       # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
       dns-nameservers 192.168.13.2
       dns-search myserver.net
       bridge_ports eth2
       bridge_fd 9
       bridge_hello 2
       bridge_maxage 12
       bridge_stp off


if you note above output I am using eth2 i.e. third lan card in my
bridge I believe that if I want to use my other lan cards
then in line where I mention

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet manual

I will replace the word manual by static (or what ever relevant)
and then write rest of the configuration.
I will recommend you  this page to understand what the word inet
manual in above line refers to
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/interfaces.5.html


Make sure you do not bring the other lan card with this bridge so as
to be a part of your private network.
