Peacock weddings are all the rage (for historical information on peacocks go to this page.) But this shoe ornament, made by Sofisticata on Etsy.com is perfect for a bride who doesn't want to wear peacock blue and green hues but who wants the 'look.'

Sofisticata sells a set of two shoe clips (or hair clips) for the sophisticated bride looking for the unexpected in feathers (and shoes). Use their clips to update an old pair of shoes or new pair. You can clip them to the top, front, sides or back of your shoes and shoe straps, it's your choice!

For more options visit Sofisticata Shoe Clips Section. Shoes are not included.

Blue/Purple Clips also from Sophisticata

Per the designer: "Unless otherwise stated, they will come as champagene shoe clips with a golden oval cabochon. However, instead, they can be personalized with the backing of your choice: shoe clips, hair pins, brooch pins, combs (some backings may not be suitable for large or small pieces, if you are not sure which backing to choose, please ask)."

Sofisticata offers world wide service, and they also take custom orders. Please contact Sofisticata if you would like to have a new or a variation on any of designs; or have questions about sizes or colors or international shipping.

Peacock Feathers and Succulents

Like peacock feathers? Some brides have the panache to pull it off.  Planning on incorporating the peacock feathers into your wedding reception?  How about a placemat made out of feathers?  Just place them under your cupcake holder and they'll form a circular placemat.  Worried they'll get out of place? Glue them to a circular placemat and they'll stay perfectly in place.

Looking for another way to add peacock feathers to your wedding?  Just add them to your menu and place it on top of the napkins at each placesetting.  Trim the feathers so they fit the pocket at the bottom of your menu holder and it's a decorative but easy to make (and very DIY) projects. 

Want to add peacock coloring to your centperpieces? Choose a set of old leather bound books in graduated sizes and use two rectangular vases wrapped in blue and bronze ribbons at each end as bookends.  Simple, easy, and very DIY!

Add peacock colors and feathers to your bouquets but just a touch is enough.  Add ribbons to match the ribbons on your vases for the centerpieces above in bronze and peacock blue and you have a peacock theme wedding without overdoing it.
