It's easy to recreate these table numbers by adding peacock feathers and other plumes to go with your wedding theme

Method

Take a peacock feather and strip down the feather but leave the top (eye).  You can curl some of the plume by using the same method as you would curl a ribbon by taking scissors and drag the plume gently across the blade (careful not to cut the plume)

Attach the stem to a cheap single photo holder then place into a box or base of your choice (you can weigh it down with some small stones or a pebble stuck on with tape to make it sturdier)

Finally build up the piece by adding rooster, marabou, pheasant and guinea feathers of your choice then add the table number to the photo clip

We have an extensive range of these peacock feathers in tradional and colourful plumes.
