We are planning a vintage Roaring 20's themed wedding Oct 2012. Instead of feather centerpieces, we are doing pearls and large black and white Ostridge Feather Bouquets.
Any suggestions where I can find affordable 12" -14" Black and White Feathers online??
Thanks!!

I would also check out the Classifieds board. Ostrich feathers are fairly common so other brides may be selling them.

We bought our black feather plumes at Hobby Lobby. They have a 50% sale at least once a month; you usually have to read the fine print in the ad as the feathers are listed in the "floral" department. I am not sure if this applies to all stores, but our Hobby Lobby allowed us to order the feathers on line, honor the 50% sale price, and have them delivered to the store.
These are the feathers we purchased. I have 70 feathers. Some of the stems have been shortened to accommodate floral arrangements. They are not uniform in height or volume. If you have further interest, you can PM me and I can email some pictures for you. I'm sorry I haven't quite figured out how to put pictures on these message boards. I am always told my picture format size is too big.
Thanks for the suggestions!!!!
