    To seriously create that Wow factor on Easter Sunday - have a go at this cake. It looks quite simple with plain white icing but by adding colourful dots and some marabou and goose feathers, it becomes a masterpiece for Easter Sunday.

  2. Feather buttonhole idea

    Posted on

    We love the idea of using feathers instead of flowers as they last forever and are so much cheaper.

    The creator of these stunning buttonholes has used a purple blossom flower head with white pearl stamens and silver leaves. 

    The buttonhole itself features a wonderful purple guinea fowl feather, lavender turkey feather and a dark purple biot feather finished off in a loop (creating the spiked effect). Off course, you can swop the shades to match your colour scheme.

    The whole buttonhole is complete with purple ribbon wrapped around the stem with silver metallic detail.....amazing!

    Now you have the idea, why not try other feather styles and incorporate them into other aspects of your wedding day.

  3. Wedding Table Number Idea with Peacock Feathers

    Posted on

    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.
