Feathers
February 5, 2008
I think that feathers have morphed from the feather boa of a boudoir to a chic accessory to highlight a modern wedding. Just a small wisp of ostrich feathers in a bride’s bouquet give it an airy cloud-like effect. Small accents of feathers add just a touch of movement to a structured bouquet without impairing the pulled together look.
I found this great bouquet at http://www.karenevansdesigns.co.uk/weddings.htm
Peacock as a color palette has been a wedding trend this past season already. I think that the peacock trend will continue and peacock feathers will step up to a new level. Peacock feathers create impact in small details like a bold peacock feather tucked into a napkin fold, or a spray of feathers creating height in a centerpiece. My friend April, who owns Petalworks, recently did a party with a peacock color scheme with a peacock feather tucked into the napkin fold.
Feathers come in a wide variety of colors and textures that can be incorporated into many wedding themes. They make a blank slate look modern and innovative.

I’m not getting married myself yet, but since everyone around me seems to be, watching them plan their weddings have been giving me tons of ideas of what NOT to do. Flowers are becoming expensive, so I was thinking of a feather theme for my own wedding. No flowers at all, just feathers. This post gives me some great ideas on pulling it off! Thanks!
