Whether you’re trying to pull off a glam wedding or more of a rustic-style wedding, the key to achieving a look that goes beyond the basics is to throw in a few unexpected touches and textures. Enter feathers — sure, they’re not a new idea but some stationery designers and florists are finding all sorts of creative ways to use them. Take a hint from some of our favorite ideas below to find some feathery inspiration for your wedding day.
Feather Invitations
How about an envelope liner featuring elegant watercoloured feathers? Or, take a simple modern invitation, wrap it with a thick bellyband, and tuck a pretty decorative feather into each one to really make it pop.
Feather Centerpieces
The traditional centerpiece filled with peonies and hydrangeas goes from simple to totally glam with these oversize dark burgundy feathers. Coordinating candles and colored glassware just adds to the drama.
Feather Escort Cards
Take your escort cards up a notch by stringing them on gold-tipped white feathers. The best part? It’s also a super easy DIY project!
Feather Boutonnieres
Give your guys some added texture by accessorizing their boutonnieres with small spotted feathers. Perfectly accent a dark, romantic calla lily or spruce up some stock flowers — it’s the perfect touch.
Feather Earrings and Hair Accessories
Add a little boho to your bridal look by braiding feathers into your hair or wearing long, dangling feather earrings on your wedding day.
Feather Welcome Decor
Adding a feather here and there to your welcome decor, or lounge decor adds a final touch without breaking the bank.
Feather Photo Booth Backdrops
Artfully stick feathers in different colors and patterns to a wooden fence or a wall for an adorably indie photo booth background. Dip the feathers in gold paint to add some extra color and depth.
