Wedding Decoration
Feathers.....OUT or an everlasting classic???

For my baroque/secret Garden/Butterfly/Key to my heart
(i think thats it???) theme wedding i wanted to do peacock feathers.

i love there colors and they are a must with baroque/secret Garden... theme wedding ;)

BUT ...

it has been done soooo many times and the fashion industry over did the theme the last years so I (and some people) got dired of it....

they were popular in the 18th century....marie antoinette was famous for wearing them and in the 40ies as well...

well i have a plan...

everybody knows peacock feathers...the greenish blue ones....maybe taking it to a higher level makes me still fashion forward...

There are sooo may different other feathers out there ...so there is no need to not do feathers.....

White and purple ones....so pretty, stylish and an eye catcher.....for most people something new...

they cost more....but only if you buy them already dyed or bleached...
i found them online for 1$ a pice........crazy....right???

so i am trying to dye them my self....right ...how hard could it be....

i mean the only thing witch could go wrong is ....ending up with purple hands for 2 weeks....hihi

dyed ostrich feathers are way cheaper....

and the turquise peacock sword feathers aren't seen as much...


Don't wait for the fashion industry till they deside when what is in fashion so.....

.....my RECOMMENDATIONAL TIP IS:

ITS YOUR WEDDING.....DO NOT NOT DO A WEDDING DECORATION/IDEA OTHERS DON'T LIKE AND THINK THEY NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!!!

(reminds me of watching "say yes to the dress" and there is a selfish fam member telling the bride what to do....grrrrr)

Good luck girls and happy planing!!!

I was asking this question along time ago, never really got a answer. Because at first I wanted a pink wedding(sometimes in the back of my mind i still do,lol) I am doing the peacock theme so I thought I could do this in a blush soft pink...didn't work out so well for me.
Have you tired looking i on ebay?? Thats were I found all of my peacock feathers.

not jet....
i love peacock ...i was not shure if i should do it...
but if i would not do it ...it would bother me in the end...
so i go for it....
i need so say pink is a real strong color ...it is already so girly soo you can not add to much other stuff...it gets out of control fast...
peacock is great...and i love the colors with it....

fashion wise.....feathers are extremly in or extremly out....but they always come back!!! since at least 200 years....
