Nashville Wedding Trend - All About Peacocks!

Friday, February 26, 2010

Hey Nashville - Happy Friday!  There's a lot going on this weekend but I wanted to kick-start the weekend being your first source of inspiration:). 

I'll be honest - I wasn't sure about the whole peacock wedding trend.  I know that it is hugely popular (just like the color gray) so I'm giving it a shot and will say that it is starting to grow on me!  But, since Tabitha really likes the peacock theme so I'm going to let her share some of her peacock wedding finds...The verdict is still out for me but what do you think? 

The best color inspiration can, more often than not, be found in nature.  Flora and fauna have such natural beauty to entice and enrapture.  The peacock is one of the most decorated and brilliant animals, and it's no wonder we're seeing more and more weddings using the peacock's signature jewel tones for a theme.

Last year we featured an earthy, DIY bride who chose a peacock scheme to her wedding day, outfitting the bridesmaids in rich, purple dresses with feathers in their hair.  She incorporated the various colors of the peacock's plume into her decor and bouquet.

Are you a peacock-loving bride?  If so, we've found some great peacock ideas for you!  For example, these custom wedding invitations by Southall Eden Paperie will really set the state for the rest of your wedding.

At January's bridal show, we stood in awe gazing upon this peacock cake by Signature Cakes by Vicki.  Looks almost too fantastic to eat!!

Use peacock feathers and tones to lend some opulence to an evening reception.

Also at January's bridal show was this tablescape by Accent Designs by Keven Warner (accenttn.com) with the peacock feather tucked into the napkin folds. I'm sure there will be guests who would love to keep a few of those to decorate their homes! 

There are so many great ways to make the peacock your muse and I hope these pictures give you some great ideas for your wedding!

We hope to see you at the Country Music Hall of Fame or the Her Bridal Brunch.  Thank you to Nashville photographers Kristyn Hogan, lifestyle photographer and  Hannahelaine Photography for the pictures.

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
