Blue Peacock Revisited – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration
Happy Inspiration Friday!! Hope you find something to inspire you today as work flows so much faster when you have the inspiration to do it. And we all want the weekend to begin…
While reviewing all of our inspiration boards (the new year does make you look back), I happened to stumble upon my first ever inspiration board… this was made literally before I even started this blog in 2009. It made me think about how your vision for a project (wedding theme) can change. SO here is my great advice before we revisit the Blue Peacock… If your are a bride who likes to plan early (year(s) in advance) make sure to keep all of your ideas (especially in image form if you can find it) so when you are ready to make the final decision you have something to refer to. Also, you could be super cool and make yourself an inspiration board (or even better get a wedding planner to help)!
Back to my first ever inspiration board. Inspiration Peacock to be precise. More specifically the blue peacock. As you know (or maybe you don’t) my first ever blog inspiration Friday was the White Peacock. I had such a different idea of wedding inspiration.. it was so literal. Peacock wedding means peacock feathers everywhere and feathery items, with turquoise. And it is beautiful but I also love the abstract versions.
Yes the stunning, rich feather colours must be included but also consider what the peacock means or represents to you. For me, I think of royalty and majesty. The peacock is very majestic and if you’ve ever seen one strut up to you so you could take it’s pic you would know its quite kingly and royal! So the other colours that popped into mind were golds and silvers. Also bold eye make up, and rich blues of varying shades. You always have to add something with nature as we are speaking of a gorgeous board so plant life or fresh flowers is a must!
So here is my Blue Peacock Revisited
