Also, you may get the best prices this way, as you may not have to pay sales tax. When you have specific budget, every little thing counts, and if you can save money on invitations, you can use it somewhere else.
Choosing Colors
Colors are a not difficult to come up with for this kind of theme. Go with teal, bronze, gold, and especially plum purple. Make certain that the bridesmaids reflect one of your main colors, and this also goes for the groom. The bridal gown should also be in a main color. However, white will work, as it is neutral.
Deep Purple
If you look in the center of feathers from peacocks you will see a deep purple. Purple is excellent for your main color, and the color of the bridesmaids gowns. The wedding bouquet can be lovely purple flowers, like the hydrangea or the calla lily.
Accent the flowers with feathers that resemble peacocks. This will highlight your central theme. You also may wish to decorate the dinner area with dark purple.
