Peacock Feather Wedding Done Simple

Peacock feathers display an undeniable mix of color that has so much depth even the best box of Crayolas would be envious.  They make a statement with very little effort.  It is no wonder why they swept the wedding scene in 2010.

Usually, peacock feathers are added to arrangements that are already over-the-top and there's no arguing the beauty of this ornate style of design.  However, I wanted to mimic the simplicity and elegance of the feathers in Orchid and Tony's wedding.  As a couple, their interaction was so natural and effortless and their floral choices reflected this.

In the bridal bouquet, green cymbidiums played the starring role with hydrangea, narcissus, and an unexpected spiral eucalyptus as the secondary players.  Hints of peacock feathers are seen throughout the bouquet without overpowering the flowers.

 

Their reception centerpieces have been one of my favorites.  In person, they were grand (spanning at least 4 to 5 feet at the widest and tallest points) yet still natural and minimalistic...a feat I'm proud to have accomplished! Thanks to Eric J Photography from Jim Kennedy Photographers, the beauty of the flowers and the evening was captured.

Sneak Preview: 1940's Themed Wedding

Here's another wedding that I wanted to give you a sneak peak at while I'm waiting for the photos from the photographer. I knew the bride (and her, oh so reliable, Maid of Honor) would be great to work with, when our actual meeting took 15 minutes a week prior to her wedding date! My creativity tends to flourish armed with such trust. Since it was a 40's theme, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to create the feather fan bouquet that I've always wanted to design. The bride was immediately on board and the rest is history.
