Today's post is a continuation of our last post on finding something different for your wedding. We are continuing with additional photos of modern, couture bouquets and other feathered items.



This particular style of bouquet was created for a bride who contacted me and wanted very much to use natural (bright and colorful) peacock feathers in her bouquet. At first I was hesitant to even create this bouquet since I was worried that it would be too dark and the bride would not like it in the end. I must admit, that this bouquet is by far my FAVORITE one now. If you have a chance, you should run by Wedding 101 (get directions at www.wedding101.net) to see it in person in our display. The pictures truly do not do it justice and the feathers are so soft that it is really a nice bouquet to hold. The perimeter of the bouquet is made up of big, beautiful peacock feathers while the center is mostly made up of black goose biots with accents of purple and green goose biots to bring out the vibrant colors of the peacock feathers. There are also some peacock swords thrown in for good measure. The base of the bouquet inside the peacock eyes has some black maribou feathers thrown in and the base of the bouquet outside of the peacock eyes has some black ostrich feathers along with some black maribou feathers. It is so chic and modern!

This is a view of the side of the bouquet. You can also see a white and black pheasant feather along the outides of the base. The handle is covered in black satin ribbon.

Here are a couple of photos of the boutonnieres we created for one bride who utilized this bouquet. Keep in mind that some brides primarily use flowers in their bouquets and have a couple of accent feathers and then have us create feathered bouts and fascinators to complement their flowered bouquet so the look of flowers and feathers can totall be blended.

Here are several different styles of fascinators we have created (either on snap clips, alligator clips, or combs) to match the basic style of this bouquet.

Below is another bouquet that was utilized by a bride who wanted a different style bouquet. She wanted a simple "one sided" bouquet for her to carry in one arm and she wanted a mix of white and peacock feathers since she wanted the sharp contrast between light and dark. This was a custom creation to a bride's specifications. This bouquet featured some extra long ostrich feathers in the back with several peacock eyes and a few peacock swords in the front. The handle of the bouquet was covered in black satin and the base of the bouquet was covered in an ostrich feather boa to give a full look.

This was not my favorite bouquet, but in the end the bride was happy and we were able to fulfill her vision for her wedding so I was very happy for that!

Stay tuned for more updates including some additional fascinators and other feathered creations!
