Vintage Peacock Wedding Theme

I love the idea of a vintage peacock theme!

Tie the whole thing together by having a peacock feather headband - hair accessories like head bands work so well with vintage style dresses - and having vases of peacock feathers on your tables. You could also pick wedding stationery with a peacock motif, and even have feathers in your bouquet.

There are so many ways to incorporate it into your theme, I could go on and on!

And with regards to planning, you sound very sorted. Take a look at the to do list in the members area on the site to have a look at what else needs to be considered!

Hi - I've just recently finished a peacock themed wedding which was a 1930's/vintage theme. This was the bouquet which was an over the arm style and was arranged on a bed of 25 large peacock feathers and the buttonholes too.

The flowers used were ivory casablanca lilies, white iris, deep red roses and lily of the valley. These are all artificial flowers but can easily be done in fresh flowers by your florist.

I can't be of much help as I was going to suggest similar things to above, but I just wanted to say that I love the idea of a peacock theme!

I'm rather fond of peacocks ?

Be sure to give us a good flash every so often.

There was a bride on here recently who was incorporating Peacocks into her wedding. Can't for the life of me remember who it was!

I'll have a search!

ETA - I think it was graceyfly

It was Gracey

You need my venue as they have actual real peacocks and peacocks feature on their stationary, signs etc.

Congratualations

I love this idea!You have use feathers in centrepieces/ buttonholes/ bouquets, have your maids in beautiful teal dreses etc

Also come join us in the 2013 facebook group XX

Vickster had peacock themes as well if you have a google may find her wedding report

Sadly I am genuinely terrified by peacocks (and hens for that matter), but I love the colours - really vibrant and you can do loads with it! If you don't fancy having matchy matchy things and BMs, then you have lots of scope to play around with colours.

I thought this was quite cute (though wouldn't have the feather in it personally)

Lovely cupcake colours:

Thanks Mini! I was racking my brains all yesterday trying to think which hitcher had them last year!

Here is a real wedding featured on hitched.co.uk with lots of peacock details - https://www.hitched.co.uk/real-weddings/kat-vikki_109/

Hopefully it will give you some inspiration!

Thank you soo much everyone, has helped a lot! I'll post some flashes this weekend as I try my dress on tomorrow so will have something exciting to post. Getting married at Slaley Hall, fell in love with it on the drive up to it so it had to be there! xx

I actually envy you! I don't think my venue would appreciate me bringing along a couple of real peacocks unfortunately!

I think a peacock theme is great. There are several lovely rich colours to chose from within a peacock feather, golds, teal, turquoise, blues, etc, so lots of choice in terms of BM dresses and flowers. And you dont have to go over the top, just adding simple things like a peacock feather to a cake can look really effective:

Oooh yes i had peacock feathers, but didnt go overboard. I still have the Flo and Percy peacock feather headband if your interested? ?

Any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Firstly, I sympathise with you having your OH away for so long. Mine is in the RAF and has been in the Middle East since early June. He's home in 15 days. 15 DAYS!!! ? not that I am counting or anything!! lol

Secondly, your theme sounds stunning. I love peacock colours and actually wear them a lot myself. If I can help with accessories (jewellery, hair accessories etc) at all, please do feel free to give me a shout. I created this side tiara not that long ago, inspired by peacock feathers, and a lot of my work can have colours incorporated (or you could have something designed just for you!).

Yeah Gracefly (where is your report lady?!?!)

*think* it is her new name but I may have made that up, is the lady you need!

I love these peacock colours:
