Peacock feathers 2.0

I loved the color of these bridesmaids dresses ( okay, I'll admit, this is the same color that my attendants wore 2o years ago!)

Back then, we called it teal--today it is peacock blue/turquoise--anyway, I loved it paired with the bright green flowers! Yes, there are peacock feather accents featured in this event starting with the handles of the bridesmaids bouquets.

The brides bouquet featured white (albino) peacock feathers--she resourced them herself, so I do not know where they originated from, but I love her bridal bouquet--lush white peony, exquisite garden roses, scabiosa and ranunucla-- gorgeous in all white--not to mention she is cute as a button!

We do not design many church pieces, so I was thrilled to design these arrangements-- not only do they feature peacock feathers but they have a perfect touch of formality and flare for this Catholic sanctuary.

The Driskill- peacock feathers!

I loved the detail that our bride added to her bridal bouquet-- I'm not sure if this was the inspiration or something that came along during the process, but I absolutely loved it--a jeweled peacock feather!!

One of the requests from the bride was a small elegant bouquet- a perfect compliment to this gorgeous dress.

The table centerpieces featured a combination of peacock feathers and dark purple hydrangea--all placed on the these gorgeous blue linens !

Thanks to Stacy at SMSphotography for the images.

(I have a few more that we will put up soon!)

Turquoise in 2009!

This was one of our recent weddings--this bride did a fantastic job styling this entire event(with the help of Aimee from Lizzie Belle events). This is a very effective use of turquoise!

All of the elements were thoughtfully presented-- a few feathers- a few balloons, a few paper poms,

Really gorgeous!

This wedding was photographed by The Nichols and recently featured over on the Greenweddingshoes blog!

Remember one of my favorites last week--this wedding is featured over on greenweddingshoes blog--with the adorable photography by The Nichols. Take a look, my words could not do it justice!

Feathers--

I absolutely loved this bouquet that Becky created for one of her brides a few weeks ago --

a beautiful, colorful combination--dahlias, buttons, purple lisianthus, ornage ranunucla, seeded eucalyptus and a few peacock feathers just peaking out!

The handle was finished with a single peacock eye--

A close up of the flowers-- this was a perfect complement to the brides "vintage modern" look--she provided us with a few simple budvases from Anthropology in a modern shade of teal. It worked perfectly with Mercury Hall!

Trends?

 

We recently provided some florals for the open house at Vintage Villas.

Here is one of our favorites-- the linen selections were dark brown pintuck accented with the teal runners--when I heard the combo I immediately thought of bright green flowers accented with peacock feathers. So many possibilities for a wedding-

 

The small components featured a single feather tucked into a ribbon with a floating candle.

 

A bigger look-- I love the spider mums as a submerged flower especially in these 24' square vases-- we just added these to our inventory--
