Feathers, feather, feathers. I love feathers. I honestly think I have an unhealthy fascination with them. The best things about feathers while designing for Maine weddings is that they’re not affected by the weather. It can be the middle of the arctic Maine winter and you can get feathers just as easily and at with the same cost as you can get them in the middle of the perfect Maine summer. They are a wonderful accessory for a Maine wedding planner.
Yesterday I designed a wedding photo shoot based around a vintage antique white dress adorned by feathers, designed by Sash Couture. I, of course, had to include feathers in my design. Don’t have those photos yet, but I decided to share some other feathered ideas.

A winter wedding in Maine would be the perfect setting for this beautiful white feathered dress. Adorned with either a short fur bolero, or even a long fur lined cape this dress would be perfection in the snow!
Let’s talk peacock…a peacock feather has a fabulous color palate for spring, summer, and fall.
Don’t get me wrong you can certainly incorporate the colors into any season, but the gold, green, and blue just seem to bring out the warmth of these particular times of year.
As a Maine wedding planner my eye is drawn to the gold and green in this feather which just says autumn to me.
Last…a bit dramatic, but breathtaking to me is the feathered centerpiece. This can of course be whatever color you want, but using this centerpiece to make a statement means really having either colors that pop or bling that catches the eye.

Feathers are not for every0ne, but if you love them like I do they are very versatile and can be used in so many different ways.
