Pretty as a Peacock

September 29th, 2006 @ 10:28 am by Mrs. Lily

Awhile back I had an idea to use peacock feathers in our wedding. I thought they would look beautiful with navy or teal or green dresses and beige linens. But… then we changed our colors and the rest is history. I forgot to blog about it until this morning when I was cleaning out my old “favorites” bookmarks (since I bookmark everything, maybe vaguely / kinda’ tidying is a better description). Anyway, here are some cool plumes I found:

From Oriental Trading Company: $7.95 for 24 pieces:

From Lamplight Feather: $48 for 100 pieces:

One of the girls I knew included a peacock feather in her invitations to display her color theme. She saved money on buying plain white invitations. She tied it all together with a blue ribbon that matched with the feather.

I am getting married in April at a local Zoo and am trying to incorporate peacock feathers into my invitation and my flowers. Thanks for the tips, please send me anything else you have! Here’s a site that has gorgeous invitations w/peacock feathers, a bit expensive but definitely distinctive! http://www.ranideshpande.com/WeddingStationeryNew/Quill/quill.htm

I am getting married in September 2008 and I am having a Peacock wedding - invitaions, working them into the bouquets, center pieces, and having the color scheme throughout! I thought it would be something different than the traditional fall themed weddings.

Kim,
There hasn’t been much activity on this page in a long time!! I am moving forward with the peacock theme as well, our wedding is in April of this year. We are also putting them everywhere!! I created our invitations from scratch and they turned out really nice! Let me know if you’re interested in more info….by the way, i found the cheapest feathers were at Ostrich.com. They just had a 1/2 off sale last week, too bad you missed it!

Sorry Juel, I decided against using peacock colors and feathers for my wedding so I don’t have any new ideas. If I think of any I will post them though!

My daughter got married March 24, 2007, her bridesmaids dresses were sapphire blue and we used peacock feathers with them. I would share pictures and possibly have some items to sell.

I am getting married in August of this year and I am also using peacock feathers. Sue I would love to talk to you about some ideas and possibly buying some things from you. My girls are wearing midnight navy dresses and I have ordered wildflowers for them with peacock feathers tucked in. However I am considering getting rid of their flowers altogether and giving them fans made out of feathers instead. We are getting married outside and August is such a hot month!
