The South African Wedding Guide

Posted: 22 March 2011

The peacock feather first became a popular design motif during the Art Nouveau movement. With exquisite colours, it continues to be a popular choice when adding a touch of exotic glamour to wedding décor. Be careful when incorporating peacock feathers into your wedding as less is more in this case. Instead of using the actual feathers in every aspect of the wedding, bring in beautiful shades of plum, eggplant, lavender, sage and apple instead. Keep it classy - just a handful of peacock detailing will do the trick.

Nifty ideas to incorporate with this colour combo

  • Add some peacock flair to your wedding hair by adding a beautiful peacock feather to your hair piece.
  • Your guest book and pen is another area that’s easy to incorporate the feather without going overboard.
  • Who wouldn’t love these shoes?! With stunning detail on the side of the shoe, it incorporates the colours beautifully and is a definite must.
  • Surprise everyone by attaching a peacock feather to your garter.
  • At the ceremony, insert a peacock feather into the pew arrangements to truly make a statement of your chosen theme.
     

Flowers for this colour combo

  • Roses
  • Lisianthus
  • Veronica
  • Dahliahs
  • Hydraengea
  • Calla Lilly
  • Succulents
  • Tulips
