One of the hottest trends in wedding themes right now is the Peacock theme…from garters to bouquets… from place settings to wedding gowns… all with rich blues, purples, greens. If you are looking to add a dazzling display of color to your wedding…consider the peacock! And you know I have inspiration for you!

From Brides.com, a gorgeous purples and pink peacock bridal bouquet.

Adorning the back of each chair at your reception with flowers, peacock feathers, and greenery – FAB!

For your peacock wedding cake, there are a LOT of variations to choose from. As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, if you just love a design, you can print the photo and take it to your bakery to recreate! From Project Wedding, an incredible peacock cake:

From CakesWeBake.com, another version, with fondant feathers and a rice crispy peacock (rice crispy treats are very easy to shape into forms:):

From Decorate the Cake, a full-blown tutorial in making this WHITE peacock cake. Isn’t it fabulous?:

What about accessories? Click on over to The Garter Girl to see several lovely peacock garter designs:

From CyberOptix, an array of colorful peacock tie options for the groom and his groomsmen (I’m thinking rehearsal dinner!):

And finally, from our own DivaEntertains.com shop, we have an entire page of peacock favors and even “Save the Date” peacock magnets:

More Holiday Wreaths!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about DIY Holiday wreaths (you can read it HERE). Since then, I’ve found MORE DIY wreaths to share, and a second Holiday Wreath post was born! I’ve got DIY tutorials for you, AND a few gorgeous wreath designs to inspire. There is STILL time to decorate for the holidays… or even design a wreath for AFTER the holidays!

I am ever so slightly allergic to eucalyptus, but I think I could endure it for a wreath THIS beautiful. Find out how to make this Martha Stewart design by clicking here :

From A Little McD, a fun tutorial on how to create a knock-off Pottery Barn wreath:

I know I keep talking about ruffles, but they are HUGE right now. Just look at this lovely felt ruffle wreath, designed by Kristen of Domestifluff. The wreath tutorial for how to make this can be found on the Design Sponge site HERE:

For a completely unique wreath, why not try making one of the Peppermint Twist wreaths, from Women’s Day:

While out driving around with the kids, looking at Christmas lights, we came across a house that took my breath away. It was decorated in whites and blues and silvers, and those became my new favorite holiday colors (at least until we saw the NEXT dazzling home). With my new favorite colors in mind, I was thrilled to find a tutorial for a white and blue GLAM Christmas wreath, from Centsational Girl:

Another really popular look this year is rosettes! I see them everywhere – on headbands, dresses… and wreaths! Check out this tutorial from Women’s Day… and make your own Felt Rosette Wreath

If you are more of a CARNATION girl, instead of roses girl, you’ll want to look at this next tutorial from Martha Stewart for a gorgeous Carnation Holiday Wreath:

And now… for some eye candy and inspiration (and maybe a few little shopping temptations!) It might be too late to actually purchase one of these for Christmas, but like I said before, it’s not too late to decorate for the rest of winter! Check out these fabulously beautiful wreaths, by various artists on etsy…
