Picking out invitations. finalizing the list of guests. adding in your registry card. oops don't forget directions!

As you know there is much more to invitations than just the invite. so while your at it why not make it more complicated... I happen to think that a good invite is found in the little details. Little details that may look complicated but 'now a days' can be done in seconds.

I happen to adore vintage inspired wedding details and incorporating personal touches in wedding decor. A great way to achieve both of those with one element is by using a wax seal! Not only do they add a romantic touch, you can personalize them, design your own logo, as well as purchase PRE MADE ones!!

Whether they’re on bottles, place cards, or used to close your invites, wax seals are a beautiful addition to wedding decor. Wax seals have been used for centuries and I don’t think they’re going out of style anytime soon!

*** to carry on from our peacock story i found a peacock seal yayyy ***

trendy. chic. feathers.

I love peacock feathers, they have such a beautiful, warm, vintage feel. Incorporate them into your next dinner party or event. Try substituting a traditional floral arrangement with trendy, chic feathers or use them to inspire your colour scheme.

The peacock - brings harmony and joy to our mind. This bird is majestic, proud with much expression and as the male bird walks and dances to the female in courting. This reminds us of the celebration in life.

invites. make a bold first impression.

embellish a simple centre piece. a little feather goes a long way.

bridal bouquets. boutonnieres.

Find an array of feathers at Plumes Feathers, Plumes ships WORLDWIDE: www.plumesnfeathers.com/
