    Hey Hive,

    Has anyone had feather bouquets, either with just feathers or feather flowers? I'm leaning towards doing so, and need to know where to start! If you had them and you made them, how did you do it? What worked best? What totally bombed? Do you have pictures? Do tell!

    OOOOH!  I am also dying to know  My mom is going to do my flower arrangements and althoguh I really wanted feathers in them, I need some inspiration from real life DIY brides who have done this to give her a starting point.

    I found a few pics online, no real-life ones though.  I really like the idea of putting feathers with flowers, I like the different textures.

    My SIL/Groomsmaid and I made all our bouquets and boutt's ourselves. I had actually found the first picture shown above, too, and modeled my bouquet after it. We had an outdoorsy bird themed wedding in the Adirondacks. I loved how the bouquets turned out.

    Here are a couple pics of my bouquet, one showing my BMs bouquets, and one showing my husband's boutt which also had feathers it.

    I'm having black feathers placed in the BM bouquets.  It will basically be exactly like this:

    @beekeebear, That is similar to my wedding--I just had apple green instead of teal! :-) Here are some photos if she wants more ideas:
