Peacock Wedding Theme

There are a lot of wedding themes that you can choose from nowadays. Themes usually range from the simplest like those that just use a color motif to the grandest like those that involve bringing guests to themed places to set the tone. If you want something simple yet striking and classy, one of your best options is to choose a peacock wedding theme.

A peacock wedding theme can be very simple. You can just use the colors you normally see in a peacock like blues and greens. But you can also make it a little grander by using real or faux peacock feathers. How do you incorporate the peacock colors and the feathers in your wedding? Here are some suggestions.

Start with the invitation. You can have the picture of a peacock printed on your invitation card to tell your guests upfront that your theme is peacock. Or you can subtly do this by having the picture of just a single feather printed on one side. But if you want a more realistic feel, you can have a real feather stuck in the ribbon.

Your tables in the reception can also be designed in a lot of ways to match your peacock theme. You can have tall vases with white flowers accentuated with one or two peacock feathers for your centerpiece. You can also opt to use table napkins with peacock prints although these maybe a little difficult to find. Your place cards can also be designed with peacock feathers.

You can also ask your florist to make the bouquets of your entourage in teal blue or sage green. Light colors adorned with peacock feathers will also look great. Your wedding cake can also be made to match the theme. Having it in peacock colors may not be a good idea because the colors are not really appetizing but designing it with feathers will be good. You can also choose to put a few layers of feathers on the cake table if you have a white wedding cake.

Peacock Wedding Theme: How to Make It

The peacock wedding theme is a theme that a lot of couples would like to have for their own wedding, but are not sure if they can pull it off. Peacocks are exquisite creatures, their feathers displaying the most beautiful combination of colors. Having a peacock wedding theme means using a lot of teals, blues, greens, purples and violets. Adding a bit of gold or bronze makes the palette even more stunning. It is sure to be a visual delight for all of your wedding guests.

When most people think of peacocks, the word extravagance comes to mind. You want to make sure that the overall look and feel of your wedding matches whatever it is the peacock embodies. Using a bunch of vivid colors to an extreme can make your wedding appear tacky instead of classy. Therefore it is extremely important that you add just the right amount of color and use decorations that convey a sense of elegance.

There are so many wonderful things you can do with a peacock wedding theme. Let's start with the wedding invitations. Let everyone know what theme to expect for your wedding by printing the image of a peacock on your invitations. You can also choose to be a little more subtle by simply using peacock colors or attaching a faux peacock feather.

The bride does not necessarily have to walk down the aisle in a majestic teal, green and purple gown to make this theme come alive. She can always wear the traditional white wedding gown with fun and flirty embellishments or add an occasional pop of color using jewelry or other accessories. A feathered corset or ball gown would be fitting for this occasion. The bridesmaids dresses on the other hand can be as creative as you want it to be. Imagine short flowing dresses with tie-dyed hues of blue, green and purple or have each bridesmaid wear a different color variation of the same dress.

Flowers are another great way to enhance the mood of the peacock wedding theme. You need to pick out flowers in the richest most vibrant hues of blue and purple. The stem and leaves already adds a splash of green to the floral arrangement. Try using some lobelias, bachelor buttons, bluebells, lavender or violas in your bridal bouquet or table centerpiece.

With a peacock theme, even the wedding cake can turn into a piece of art. If you are willing to spend top dollar to have the most magnificent wedding cake, you can hire someone to try and recreate a peacock. Otherwise have some peacock feathers intricately decorated along the top and sides of the cake. Adding some gold or bronze trim along the edges will make the cake look even more exquisite. With so many beautiful colors to work with, you should be able to come up with endless ideas for the decor and wedding favors. A peacock theme is anything but dull, think of some fun ideas to use and just wait to mesmerize your guests.
