by Gary | Posted in Peacock Feathers |

The winter frost is thawing and the days are getting warmer which must mean only one thing…wedding season is fast approaching!

Traditionally used at Hindu weddings where peacock feathers are thought to bring luck, the beauty of the feathers sees them being used in weddings with couples from many different faiths. This piece will showcase how many brides-to-be were inspired to use peacock feathers for their ‘big’ day. Hopefully, it will provide future brides with a bit of inspiration too!
