A Little "Flair"

I apologize that it's been awhile since my last post. My husband and I were wrapped up in a big move...to Minnesota.

But I'd like to share a long-standing wedding inspiration and a little bit more about me. Something I have always LOVED are peacock feathers (much to my mother-in-laws disliking)! Don't you feel like you should enjoy a nice bold glass of red wine while looking at these fine feathers?!


To me these gorgeous feathers scream elegant, regal, bold and of course are stunning just like the bride should be! I also believe they can symbolize a Godly marriage, in which they are grand, glorious, exalted and majestic.

So, if you're looking for a bold or vintage inspiration, consider the peacock feather.

Below are a few items I found on Etsy.com that are making me re-plan my wedding as I type.




Including a real peacock feather with your save the date is an interesting and lively way to set the tone for your guests.


A hair piece for your bridesmaids is the perfect balance between staying simple and sweet yourself but infusing this sassy theme.



Less dramatic and informal invitation.


Well I'm definitely going to need one of these stampers!


And this creme colored, bleached peacock feather is a great way of playing with the vision, but toning it down a notch. I also love that this designer has added the texture of recycled paper.

A few fast facts on the peacock:

• The male is actually called a peacock, and the female is technically called a peahen but can be still be called a "peacock" or "female peacock."
• The peacock is the national bird of India...jealous!
• The tail feathers are called a "train"...ironic?
• And the males flair their feathers to get the females attention. Worked for me!
