Pearls and Peacocks

Hello! 
A few posts ago I mentioned that I was inspired by peacock feathers. Well, let me explain! 

Valentines weekend, my prince and I attended a church Valentines Dinner, and the centerpieces were beautiful. They were made mostly of peacock feathers, and I noted how the colors of the feathers seem to match the colors of our bridesmaid dresses. Well, after some chit-chatting... the lady who made the centerpieces generously let us have all of the feathers! Therefore, I am inspired! 


This is the attire (plus a tie) that the groomsmen and bridesmaids will be wearing. A touch of peacock will add some character to our wedding attire and decorations :)

some ideas! Just creative ways to incorporate peacock feather without being overwhelming! 

add feathers into boutonnieres? :)


The bridesmaids will also be wearing pearls.

The wedding theme has become Pearls and Peacocks 


What do you think? Any ideas? :)

  8. LOVE IT! So unique and goregous! That will be such fun colors for your summer wedding!

    Here's a tip for your centerpieces (if your venue doesn't supply vases/holders): Instead of buying brand new, check out a bunch of Goodwills and Thirft Stores! I did this for my reception and no one knew, plus I saved a ton of money! It was a fun treasure hunt to see if each place had what I was looking for or not. :)
