I’ve always loved Peacocks and their beautifully colored feathers. I think the look is timeless and I don’t think I could ever get sick of seeing peacock feather inspiration. I am actually incorporating a slight peacock feather touch to an event I am currently working on. When the feathers are added with deep purple, I think it adds even more depth and character. Peacock feathers look great as a bouquet as well and that could be a great option if would like to save money on your florals.

A color that stands for beginnings, green is one appropriate pick for a wedding, since it complements your and yours groom's fresh start.  For 2013, Pantone chose a luxurious and vibrant shade, Emerald.  The color meant to represent growth, renewal and prosperity -- things that you'd surely want as you embark on a new chapter of your lives together. 

Also associated with a precious stone, Emerald is the perfect hue for sophisticated couples.   On the other hand, Emerald is also a good option for laid-back couples, since it mirrors the verdant outdoors. 

Take inspiration from our color moodboards   below, and see how Emerald details can make for a vibrant celebrations.
