     How much is too much? Decor question :  wedding peacock feathers pew decoration InspirationFINAL

    Hey bees! I'm going with a peacock feather theme. (Above is my inspiration board) I LOVE the colors, but I'm afraid of going overboard! I don’t want things to look outdated or overwhelming. Feathers are so versatile. I’ve thought of a billion ways to use them. But I don’t want to do ALL of them! What do you think about my ideas and how much/where to use them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone! Hope you have a great weekend!

    -Peacock feathers in centerpieces with flowers
    -Peacock feathers on the invitations
    -Peacock feathers on the cake/cupcake tower
    -Peacock feather earrings (hand-made) for my bridesmaids and I
    -Peacock feather fascinator in my hair/veil
    -Peacock feathers in the guys’ boutonnières
    -Peacock feathers on the pew markers
    -Peacock feathers on the guest book/pen
    -Peacock feathers around the arbor/wedding arch
    -Peacock feathers on the thank-you notes
    -Peacock feathers attached to the favor tags

    PHEW! I think that’s all I can remember for now!

    YAY aplusb! Peacock feathers are so beautiful AND CHEAP! If you haven't already, I found the BEST website for feathers. I ordered some last christmas and made a 4ft wreath for our entry way at home. Their feathers are clean and very bright. It's www.Ostrich.com . Good luck on your peacock wedding! Your more than welcome to use my ideas! I'll be posting more the closer we get to our date!

    Hi, I am a peacock bride too. The theme is so versatile. Your ideas are great.

    I will be using peacock feathers in:

     my bouquet; bridesmaids bouquets;boutonnieres;ring bearers pillow; centrepieces and I will have pictures of peacock feathers on my invitations and programs.

    Good luck and happy planning.

    For all you peacock brides out there - just saw this cute bracelet on piperlime.com. Might work if you are accessorizing with gold tone jewelry.

    How about if you put bleached peacock feathers in a birdcage veil? Thats what I'm doing. I'm going to have my veil hand made by a gal in Portland who is super talented and you can have a one of a kind veil. I'm going to have her put one non-bleached blue peacock feather in the veil behind some fo the other feathers just barley peaking out.

    Check out her website! She's amazing!! http://www.unveiledbridaldesigns.com/index.html

    Also check out this picture of a cake i recently found...amazing!!

    I think whatever you go with will be beautiful. And the fact that you're trying to NOT go overboard and are actually thinking about it says that you won't make that mistake. just go for it! Have fun!!

    Hi,

    I am a peacock bride and I would like to use peacock feathers and ribbons as pew decorations. The problem is I googled but couldn't find any images.

    Does anyone have any pics or knows any sites where I can see some pics.

    Thanks a million.

    @ProudPeacockBride:

    Hi proud peacock bride. Just wanted to know how you will decorate your pews with the feathers? I have an idea to use peacock feathers with ribbon but I can't find any pics online.

    Thanks.
