Feathers

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.
