The Bouquet:
Alex's colors were purple, teal and lime. In this bouquet, I tried to capture Alex's colorful playfulness. I used a couple of shades of purple to add depth to the bouquet, and made a festive handle to match the feel of the wedding overall. I used peacock feathers and peacock crystals throughout the bouquet.
Detail of the handle:
Lattice style purlple and lime ribbons criss-cross over the teal base.
Alex and Steve had a peacock theme. The boutonnieres added a unique element while furthering the theme of the wedding.
The cake topper used fresh flowers from the wedding theme and peacock feathers.
Fans
I used fans to decorate the gazebo that housed the cake. They added a bright and festive flair to the area without detracting from the cake.
Lanterns and tissue balls were used throughout the reception area. They added color and interest. Additionally it gave a bit of an asian/exotic feel, which went along nicely with the peacock theme.
The monogram was used to decorate the popcorn bags at her popcorn stand.
Peacock Theme:
I created this picture for her sign-in table. It let the guests see immediately the relevance of the peacock feathers incorporated throughout the decor. I also really liked the symbolism!
Centerpieces and Tables
The wind today was awful! It was a panic setting these up, but with a lot of tape, we got the tablecloths stuck down, and luckily the wind died just before the reception began. Curse the East Spanish Fork bench wind!
For the centerpieces, I used a sprig of curvy peacock feathers, which added a more interesting visual than single peacock feathers. I used lime green orchids, which had a little purple center, and purple lisianthus in tall colored vases. The vases are my favorite find of this wedding. They were on sale half-off, and had all of the wedding colors! They added an exotic flavor more than a traditional eiffel tower vase would have.
The chair ties were tied vertically, and consequently made a bigger statement than they would have if they were tied horizontally.
