Feather Bouquet

JaiteJanerico

I was planning on DIYing my bouquets.  My original plan was do to them with flowers, but I've just seen a picture of a bouquet made of feathers and I loved it.  I am using peacock feathers in my centerpieces and wearing a peacock feather clip in my hair.  So I think it might be unique to have my BMs and me carry peacock feather bouquets. 

Have any of you seen a feather bouquet in person?  Also, does anyone know if any helpful websites or books that might have DIY instructions?

A friend of mine used feathers for her bouquet and it turned out beautifully!  Here's their wedding post on her photographer's blog:  http://brookemayoblog.com/2010/10/brandi-hearts-jon-10-02-10/

I'm using peacock feathers as well mixed in with my bouquet flowers, I'd love to see how they turn out!

I like the Style Me Pretty one that Barbra posted!

I think it would be really cute if you had your girls carry all peacock feathers and then you carry a flower boquet with feathers sticking out of it. That way, it wouldn't be feather overload with you having one in your hair and on the centerpieces too!
