Whether I go for the peacock theme or something totally different, I really like the idea of using feathers with the flowers. I think feathers just add a classy touch and they come in so many different colours, sizes and styles that they can be made to suit any theme, or colour scheme.I'm lucky enough to have an expert crafter/ flower arranger as a mum so she'll be doing most if not all of my flowers for me. But if not try etsy (http://www.etsy.co.uk/) or folksy (http://www.folksy.co.uk/) for artificial flowers or take sketches, pictures and colour swatches with you when you go to the florist. Here are a few of my favourites:
The Bouquet:
I love this bouquet!!!! Lilies are one of my favourite flowers and the colours of the peacock fethers are so regal and elegant.
This coffee and cream inspired bouquet would be fabulous with my 1920's theme.
I don't really like long trailing bouquets but this one just jumped out at me. The colours are very pretty and the red could inspire a wonderful winter wedding.
The Buttonholes:
This is a very Christmassy buttonhole with the colour and the holly leaves, perfect for a winter wedding.
I thought this was very classy with the use of the pearls, and the mixture of feathers adds an interesting touch.
The Corsages:
A few flyaway feathers can look as effective as alot if used cleverly. I love the mini red roses hiding behind the main flower too.
I particularly like the left one. the white flowers are very elegant when teamed with black feathers and ribbon.
The Bridesmaids:
The bridesmaids flowers will probably be a smaller version of the brides, but these peaches and cream flowers were so pretty and would match most colour dresses.
This is my favourite!!!! The red flower on the peacock flowers is so bold, yet still elegant and pretty. I love it!!!!!
The Tables:
All white feathers in tall glass vases gives a classy 1920s feeling.
These colours would be perfect for a morrocan themed wedding as they are very bright and vibrant.
