more than just a feather..

If you've been wedding shopping, scouring the web for gown ideas, or glanced at wedding publications you probably noticed a common thread- plumage.  Those light, airy bird clothes are everywhere!! Sarah Jessica Parker may have been the catalyst to get the trend kick started, but as we know feather usage has been part of human customs for thousands of years. Feathers are symbols of strength, royalty, peace, energy. All of which a bride should feel on her wedding day. Not just a chic, trendy statement Sarah Jessica so boldly personified, plumage offers the bride a connection to the past and hope for the future all in one accessory!
Of course, as you know I'm a slightly obsessive fan of all things retro. When a bride considers a feather hair piece, I immediately channel those hair bands of the 1920s as inspiration. Ask your bridal boutique to show you a range of feathered, pieces even if you have initial doubt. Brides are usually surprised how much they like them. Some are very diminutive, but still pack that symbolic energy and chic, modern punch. Or you could opt for a large, peacock colored plum that says wow and commands all eyes on the ultra, fashionista bride. I adore a whisper of color on a bride and what better way than with a natural, work of nature that birds need, but brides can enjoy.
