A Peacock Blue Wedding

A Peacock Blue Wedding

When choosing a wedding color scheme choosing three colors will give you the variety to create sufficient interest and depth in your design. The first will be a color used in large quantities, so a neutral or soft color works for things like stationary, linen and the bride's dress. Peacock feathers have a beautiful mix of colors. Look at a peacock feather for inspiration and consider using copper as your neutral, or a soft brown. The main and accent colors will shine against the backdrop of this neutral. Brilliant green, peacock blue, sparkling gold and black are all choices that come directly from the peacock's showy feathers. Use the second color for bridesmaid's dresses, feature linen and flowers, and then add accents in the third color. These could be with ribbons, jewelry, table napkins or the packaging for your wedding favors.

Wedding dresses are traditionally white but there's no law limiting your choice of wedding dress color. You can wear blue - or a monochromatic blue dress. Blue symbolizes faith, loyalty, power and protection. It is said that people who love light blue are analytical and practical while those who favor dark blue are self-reliant, responsible, and intelligent. You are all of these if you love blues, light and dark.

As for the attire, pale blue and gold are flattering and easy to find. Choose a soft blue for the bridesmaid dresses in a chic fabric like silk chiffon, silk satin, or silk shantung, depending on the season. Long slender dresses will suit the elegance of the color scheme. Bring in the golden accents with custom blue crystal bridesmaid jewelry handcrafted with thin gold links. The blue and gold bridesmaid jewelry sets will be quite special, and your attendants will enjoy them after the wedding as well. The bride can bring in hints of the signature colors in the form of luxe gold silk sandals or pale blue silk slingbacks (for the "something blue", of course). If you wish to up the luxury factor, select a bridal gown with fine gold lace or golden embroidery on the bodice.
