Peacock Centerpieces and Decorations for Weddings

By Alejandra Perez


Have you ever heard the phrase, "As proud as a peacock?" These fanciful birds really do put on a fabulous display. If you love peacocks and want a different type of wedding theme and some fun reception ideas for a peacock wedding then find them below.

Weddings with this theme are very unique, colorful and can be quite the memorable experience. Depending on how far you would like to go with your theme you will want to make the most of all your decorations and this includes your wedding favors.

A wonderful and very easy way to incorporate peacocks onto your tables is to choose a centerpiece that can also double as a wedding favor. Try find some plain, small birdhouses at craft stores.

Take your birdhouses and paint them (if desired), next you add some pretty peacock feathers to the tops using hot glue or a craft glue. Add a small clip to each one and then use the birdhouses as place card holders!

Guests will delight in their place markers and they can even take the birdhouses home with them to enjoy on their own.

Another idea is to take some favor tags and embellish them with real peacock feathers or use stickers or a stamp. You can have a stamp custom made or just shop around to find a pretty one that fits your theme.

Next, add your design to the tags with a sweet message or a thank you on the back. Add the tags with a pretty ribbon to some clear bags filled candies or cookies. This is not only simple, but it's also a great way to save some money.

There is nothing better than a yummy looking cookie. If you want to get fancy then consider making some homemade sugar cookies cut out to look like peacocks. You could also cut them out to look like feathers.

Get ready to bake with your wedding party. Enlist your friends and family members to help you. Once you have baked them you can use purple or light blue icing to decorate. If you want to get fancy you can also use edible glitter flakes or sugar beads to finish them.

How about using some pens as wedding favors? Here is an easy idea to decorate them with peacock flair. Take some green floral tape, peacock feathers and a pen and start wrapping the green tape around your pen.

When you have reached the very end of the pencil then add a feather to it. You can add a dollop of hot glue to secure it in place. Twirl the rest of the tape around it to cover up the glue and the end of the feather until tightly in place.

These will make wonderful wedding favors and they will be less likely to get lost. It's a thoughtful and useful gift your guests will really enjoy. A few of them will also look gorgeous bunched together in the center of your wedding tables in a vase.

Add a few of these ideas or just pick one for your reception and add that pop of color that will help create a whimsical and festive atmosphere!
