Yup, you guessed it—feathers!
There’s no other way to say it: I. Love. Feathers. They might possibly be my favorite thing in the world. If it has feathers on it, chances are, I want it. I first fell in love with feathers my junior year of high school. I was shopping for a junior prom dress when I saw THE dress: it was light pink and beaded with a feathery skirt—and I was in love.

It was too special to wear to my junior prom, so I waited and waited and finally bought it to wear for my senior prom. Yes, that’s right, I found my senior prom dress a whole year in advance. Crazy much?
Everyone thought I was nuts for buying a dress with feathers on it, but once they saw it, it was jaws on the floor. I had a funny feeling that feathers were going to be the “next big thing”, however, it took a little longer than I had anticipated. Now, finally, we’re seeing an influx of feathers on the runway and the red carpet:
Mary Kate Olsen got a lot of mixed reviews on this dress, but it makes me drool every time I see it.
Rose Brynn- The color is almost teetering on grandma territory, which is what, I think, makes it great.
The ever fabulous SJP rocking a feather capelet- she can do no wrong in my book.
Much to my pleasure, feathers have even started infiltrating the wide world of wedding dresses:
When I saw this one, I literally gasped. With a few alterations, it would almost literally BE my old prom dress:
(thanks Photoshop)
I saw the above dress online before I found The One, and even went so far as to e-mail the company and get a quote, although they’re located in New Zealand or somewhere super far away like that. Of course, the price was waaaay out of my range, but there was no harm in trying.
So, how exactly am I incorporating those ostrich feathers that I was talking about? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see!
Are you incorporating any feathers into your wedding? Where and how?
Yeah, that last dress *is* pretty amazing, and I am not a feather-y girl at all. 
MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH THE FEATHERS!!
I’m pretty sure I remember that dress! And the hate fest on the Jr. class! Haha!
it’s Rose Byrne
@pec1216: I’m sure you probably showed it to you @ some point!
@nuebo: Oh, I know! Typo!
I also have a healthy obsession for feathers. I intend to have a feather bouquet and, hopefully, a feather-full reception dress.
All of your above images made me droll!!
I’m intrigued by what you’re going to do with the feathers! Can’t wait to find out?
oh, and your prom dress is totes awesome.
I love feathers, especially black ones! I think they’re so elegant and unexpected (if done right, that is).
Ohhh, I love feathers too, but can so not pull them off! Can’t wait to see how you’ll incorporate them, you totally rocked them on your pink dress!
Feeeaaaathers! I love feathers on dresses.
I might have some feathers in my hairs for the reception.
@fiftyfootbride: Me, too! I got a feather fascinator off Etsy. It is so wonderful.
I’m not incorporating feathers but my sister did at her wedding three years ago (centerpieces and bouquets). Did you see this awesome Sue Wong dress for $615? I think it is a great dress along the style you are going for: http://www.edressme.com/w9411.html#
I just saw the cutest LBD with feather trim on the bottom. It was at Target, one of their featured designer collections. I wish I’d tried it on!
I love feathers! I recently saw a gorgeous evening bag with some peacock feathers on it!
Pretty dresses btw!
I am a fan of feathers and the proud momma of a 12 year old blue and gold macaw btw! He’s my feathered baby!
i really like the 2nd to the last wedding dress! soooo pretty!
I LOVE feathers. They are so… fluffy! I put ostrich feathers in my mantel vases for Christmas and they look awesome!
Beautiful Dresses! I cant wait to see what you do with your feathers!!! I am incorporating feathers in to my wedding as well. There will be pheasant feathers in the bouquets and center pieces along with white orchards.

Mrs. Rainbow, Tampa Age and Occupation: 22, Makeup Artist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Electrical Engineer/Programmer Engagement Date: November 27, 2008 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: The Gamble Plantation About Me: I'm a quirky (and slightly Type-A) freelance makeup artist who was born in Washington State, raised in Alabama, and now living with my one and only in sunny Florida. I'm fashion and beauty obsessed, and have recently discovered my inner domestic diva extraordinaire. I'm a wannabe chef, decorating addict, and trying desperately to be as crafty as possible---albeit only with a glue gun. I'm hopelessly in love with my fiance, and all things sparkly and feathery. Despite the glittery exterior, I'm a total hippie on the inside. When I'm not making up pretty faces, I love doing what I can to help people, animals, and the environment. Someday the FI and I will change the world, but first we're tackling our modern-vintage-Marie-Antoinette-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland inspired wedding. I just can't wait to be Mrs. Rainbow!
