    Hey ladies!

    Everyone on these boards is so helpful & creative, and I thought I'd try to get some input on something decor-related.  So, I stumbled across these vintage peacock cards on Etsy:

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/54605640/bright-blue-peacock-vintage-playing?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=peacock+playing+cards&ga_search_type=all&ga_page=&order=&includes[0]=tags&includes[1]=title&show_panel=true

     

    But I'm not sure how I could incorporate them into the decor.  Our colors are navy blue, turquoise, and purple, maybe a little yellow, and we're incorporating peacock feathers into the wedding. So far, I am thinking something like this for the centerpieces:

     

     

    so I feel like using the peacock cards on the tables like as table # cards would be a little too much peacock at the table.  Any ideas on where else/how else I could incorporate them? I just think they're adorable and would love to use them somehow!

    what about using them on a wishing tree instead of tags?? Maybe as a game on cocktail tables?

    I don't know how much you care about keeping them as playing cards, but you could use them for table numbers! Or for escort cards!

    I'd scan the image and use it in multiple places, like table numbers, escort cards or programs. What about turning them into a cake topper somehow?

    My friend had something similar at their wedding. On the backside they put fun little facts about them and their relationship.  I enjoyed reading everyone's cards at our table.

    @kt23525:They are very original, but I don't know if I like them with white vase for the center piece. I love the idea of having them place of folded on the napkin at the table in lieu of a fresh flower. Very nice:0)

    I love the idea of putting it on your napkins, it'll be a good way to dress them up. Or using them as escort cards would be nice, they would be on the tables so it wouldn't be too much.

    @kt23525: I love that centerpiece photo. It was one of the first photos I saved for inspiration once I decided I wanted to incoporate some peacock feathers into my wedding.

    As for the playing cards, I also think that they would make pretty escort cards.

    With the empty blue space at the top of the card, they would make perfect labels. I really like the suggestion above to scan the image and incorporate throughout your paper items.
