Exotic Bird

Over the last while , I've noticed a trend and attraction to that beautiful, exotic bird the peacock. All sorts of accessories are incorporating peacock from earrings, to feather combs, to headpieces and hats. These feathers are so beautiful and brilliant in their natural state that little has to be done with them to make an accessory. Recently, I had a bride request a peacock feather pin to wear for her after ceremony. With a simple up do, the pin was attached to the back of the hair and looked fabulous. The shimmer of the feathers really stood out like jewels themselves and can really compliment a wedding gown adding some unique exoticism.


Of course, these peacock are not just reserved for wedding occasions as they can be worn for any festive event. Here is a custom comb I did for a customer who wanted peacock incorporated with splashes of color from pinks and purples to lime greens. This is a fun piece and would go with virtually any outfit.

Adding just a smidgen of veiling can add a vintage appeal to a peacock feather comb. Bridesmaids could certainly go for something like this to compliment the bride.


For the bride who is looking for the exotic veil, she should look no further than adding a few peacock plumes to really add some panache. With a simple ivory gown and black sash, this bride chose something a little different with a black veil , ivory silk bows and a few peacock plumes. Not only did she look gorgeous with this combo but it really made her bridal ensemble unique.

If you really want to go out on a limb with the peacock trend, a cocktail hat would really be a stunning accessory. This hand molded ivory fur felt cocktail base has a myriad of peacock plumes combined with some ivory accents. This hat is truly not for the faint of heart but in my perfect world, everyone would want to stand out and parade like a peacock.
