Birds of a Feather Flock to Peacock-Themed Decoration

I don't know if peacocks are popular right now, but I am personally going to declare that peacock-themed decoration is a hot upcoming trend, based entirely on my personal inclination.  I think peacocks make for fabulous decorating for two reasons:

(1) peacock blue is a gorgeous color (see photo), and
(2) peacock feathers are super cool.  (Although, apparently, some people think peacock feathers indoors are bad luck.)

Also, there is something extra luxurious about the peacock - a creature that seems to exist solely for the purpose of strutting around and looking beautiful.


Here is a beautiful example of a peacock feather centerpiece, courtesy of Gina Digness and The Rent-It Store Wedding and Speciality Center in Saskatoon. I love the exotic and mysterious feel created by the peacock feather and blue uplight.

You can see all of The Rent-It Store's portfolio on Facebook and on their website.













I found some other cool peacock-related items on ThisNext.com.  Here are some beautiful Peacock Feather Cards from Blackbirdletterpress and Peacock Wine Glasses from marywibis, both on Etsy. There are several other types of wine glasses from marywibis on Etsy, including Wedding Toasting Flutes that make other toasting glasses look as interesting as tin cans.

This EarthLust Stainless Steel Bottle is both stylish and practical (photo from ThisNext.com). It would make a nice addition to gift bags for your peacock-themed event.
