It's pretty easy and if you have some leftover marshmallows, all the better!

Peacock Themed Indian Wedding Inspiration Board


I did say in a couple of previous posts about conducting an Indian inspired peacock themed wedding. Here's an inspiration board I came across. The bride has even applied a peacock designed mehndi (henna) to her hands. The more I research on it, the more I'm falling in love with the Indian version!

Peacock Sarees - Try Something Different On Your Wedding

I am from India. As most of you might know, peacocks are the national birds of India. Why not sink more deep into ethnic culture and make your wedding an Indian peacock themed one? I was browsing through some sarees. If you're from outside India, then I would totally suggest making your bridesmaids dress up in these elegant designs! They will look gorgeous and also it will be a different kind of peacock themed wedding.

If you do not want your bridesmaids to steal the limelight, why not go for a peacock saree yourself? But make sure your guy is dressed accordingly in an Indian attire. Watch this space for more.

A Peacock Themed Wedding You Should Check Out

I have a thing for peacocks. They are absolutely gorgeous aren't they? I am from India, and where I come from peacocks can be found roaming around the paddy fields. We don't bother getting too close to them coz they are assumed to attack you right in the eye! Yikes! We never even really tried to find out whether its true or not -- but better to be safe than sorry right?

Getting right back into business, a peacock theme wedding you have to absolutely check out is Kristi and Anthony's. Don't you just LOVE Kristi's Peacock Bouquet? She designed it herself -- a talented woman you've got to admit! The photography is by Christine Chang.
