    I'm meeting with a florist tomorrow and trying to find pictures to create my inspiration board.  I found some really pretty & funky bouquets that have feathers in them.  Would that style/look go well with a damask print?  My colors are black and white and bright pink! What about centerpieces?

    You should always carry the theme through, from your bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets to the centerpieces.  Bunches Bob

    I think feathers would work in the bouquets, and could work in the centerpieces, depending on how the tablescape looked. A good florist will be able to help you establish a balance that compliments both elements. like maybe it's a damask table cloth with a solid colored runner over it and then the centerpieces with feathers. that way the centerpieces have a solid barrier and dont visually compete with the print of the table cloth. Or do really tall centerpieces so there is lots of visual space between the two elements.

    I think it would look great! They both have that ultra lux feel that works well together.

    Love the theme Idea... I just got married 2 weeks ago and my theme was black white and red.....with feathers!! My dress was allureC 170 which had some feathers on it.   My bouquet and all the bridemaids had feathers in them with crystals.... and my centerpieces were manazanita branches with crystals and feathers on them, as well as a damask table runner.... heres some pics... these are just random pics I found from people from the wedding, we are still waiting for our professional pics etc...

     

    but I say go for it!!

     

    This is a mock up trial at the venue for the centerpieces...but there are feathers on the branches

    and the second is one from the actual wedding....
