Proud Peacock Theme

The proud Peacock… The king of the feathered world, with it’s royal plumage and regal catwalk strut. Tones of Turquoise, Cobalt blue, Aqua, Green and Gold. The elements for a vivid wedding theme all within the parameters of a single feather. In essence this concept can be achieved in varying ways. Take the motif, if you will. The symbol that we associate with this creature, the crafted variegated feather with it’s furry tendrils and unwavering Sapphire eye. This in itself can be enough to dictate a wedding theme. A feather motif can be used in every facet of the event from the invitations, to the cake, the decorations and even your shoes. Even if your not convinced on the colour palette the feather gives you to work with then just the simple hint of a motif can choreograph and fabulously coordinated affair.

On the other hand, if you love the colours provided by natures finest feathery friend then you can truly go wild combining all the shades that compliment each other so naturally. Consider dressing each bridesmaid in a varying luxurious Peacock inspired shade. Style your reception area with swathes of Blues, Greens and Golds to create a regal and stately atmosphere. The feather itself in it’s natural, untouched form can be utilised to combine with fresh flowers in bouquets, table centrepieces and even adorning your grooms lapel.

Subtle or bold, understated or dramatic, by using the essence of nature as your guide, your sure to be a proud Peacock yourself… All that’s left now is to strut your stuff! ♥
