Theme Wedding Peacock or Not Peacock? WeddingDash.com

Lavish. Check. Dramatic. Go on. Elegant. You bet! With their vibrant and bold color palette, peacock feathers are the greatest inspiration for a classy theme wedding with a twist. Think deep purple, gorgeous teal, cobalt blue, bronze, and a touch of lime green – just how spectacular would these shades look on your big day?

Extremely popular in the Art Nouveau period, peacock plumes have actually been a striking ornamental motif since ancient times. Known as a symbol of rebirth, wealth and pride, the iridescent feathers give a decadent and luxurious touch to everything they decorate. Does that sound opulent enough for you, my dear brides-to-be?

If you are dreaming of a wedding décor that oozes exotic glam, count on the multicolored feathers, keeping in mind at all times that less is more (yes, too much plumage could look tacky!). A handful of peacock feathers here and there will definitely look charming, providing a splash of color to kick off a fabulous day. For the perfect color balance, mix the rich hues with white (you will get a summery feel), and gold or silver, for an autumnal touch.

Peacock feathers look great on everything, whether on a stylish headpiece, your wedding dress sash, added to your bouquet, wrapped with ribbon as a DIY boutonniere or embroidered on your wedding clutch. They would also make a pretty motif for your wedding stationery, painted on your fondant cake (rather than using actual feathers that could end up in someone’s plate, God forbid!), or incorporated into show-stopping centerpieces.

Dress your bridesmaids in peacock feather print dresses, or in purple and teal outfits. You can channel the theme yourself in so many ways, from feather-shaped jewelry, feather-embellished shoes, or discreet plumes decorating your wedding dress.

Go for artificial feathers – they are your best choice as they are cheaper and… harmless. The sky is the limit when it comes to this outstanding wedding theme, so let the bold peacock feathers take center stage on your big day!
