Ideas for a Peacock Themed Wedding

If you're a bride who loves rich, bold colors who is looking for a wedding theme, consider planning your wedding ceremony around the vibrant hues of the majestic peacock. Peacock themed weddings and parties are very popular and brides can choose to use peacock accents as little or as much throughout the ceremony and reception. The color palette for this theme mainly consists of deep blue, turquoise, olive green, purple, and gold.

Peacock Themed Wedding Invitations
You may want to use a cream background for your invitations or save the date cards with a font in one of the darker peacock colors, such as royal blue or purple. Your invitation can have a peacock design such as these from Etsy seller Peacock Invitations or you may want to embellish a simpler design by attaching a craft peacock feather to the invitation with a ribbon matching the font.

Peacock Themed Wedding Dresses and Bridesmaid Dresses
Because the overall feel of the wedding will be elegant, the bride will want to choose a gown that is formal and sophisticated, like a ball gown with a full skirt or a fit and flare gown like this romantic dress from David's Bridal. Incorporate the peacock motif by carrying a bouquet made of deep green, blue, and white or cream colored flowers (such as calla lilies) with peacock feather accents. Bridesmaids' dresses can be royal blue, deep teal, or emerald green. Bridesmaids can also carry similar colored bouquets and accessorize with peacock headpieces and crystal drop earrings in the same color as the dresses.

A bolder color idea in terms of attire for the bride is to wear a colored wedding gown. Wedding Dress Fantasy offers a number of beautiful gowns in many different colors, such as this elegant green gown, which can also be made in blue or plum. Depending on which color bridal gown you select, you can either choose bridesmaids' gowns in a color that meshes well with the bridal gown's hue or have the bridesmaids wear champagne colored gowns.
