Oh my goodness! This is my dream come true!!!!!!! We are having our garden wedding on September 25th of this year at the Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia, and the main accent pieces are peacock! Growing up in the country, we were often a dumping ground for unwanted things, like couches and dogs. One year, a local peacock farm went out of business and dumped the remaining 4 beauties on our property. They were amazing and added so much to our lives, and that's why I'm theming them in our wedding. This would be the perfect and most wonderful gift I could ever receive. Thank you for your amazing contests!
Oh my! I would love to win this. We are planning a peacock wedding, because I have always loved peacocks. Peacocks have an extra significance to my family. My grandfather, who passed away in 2000 raised prize peacocks. Yes, they have peacock competitions! I spent my childhood being chased around the farm by peacocks and peahens. My bedroom as a child was covered in the feathers I had picked up around the farm. Both grandparents have passed on to heaven, and my days of helping on the farm and being chased by peacocks are over, but we plan to honor my grandparents by incorporating peacocks in to our wedding. I'm saddened they didn't get to meet my fiancée in this life, but know they will be smiling on us on August 7, 2010 when I marry my best friend. ~leela
My wedding is May 22, but I would love to use some of these items for a bridal shower, too. I think peacocks are so lovely. The color combination is perfect and they are such beautiful animals. They would make the perfect theme for a wedding or bridal shower! Thank you so much for such a generous give away. All of the vendors look amazing!
When I first started to think about my wedding theme, I came upon a peacock inspiration board and it has been no turning back!
The blue is what draws me in! I've been looking for more pretty and stylish ways to add peackock feathers to my August wedding. I hope I win because this would cut down my DIY list!
That cardbox is to die for!
I've been married for 4 years now to a wonderful man who I really believe was put on this planet for me... we were even born on the same day, January 6th, 1982. Currently, we're planning to renew our vows on our 5 year marriage anniversary next March 15th, 2011. We're using the peacock as the inspiration for our blue and green Caribbean decor.
This is truly going to be the wedding we've never had since four (4) years ago we were wed at a county clerk's office without family our friends present. As we renew our vows we would love for our family to all be there but because of financial restraints most of them cannot afford to come. Winning this prize would mean the world to us both since then we would be able to help to buy one more ticket for our siblings who lives far away from TN!
I forgot to add, they are all so beautiful. I love the ring pillow, it's brilliant and the parasol with the green trim is so cute!
This is perfect! It matches my colors exactly and I LOVE it.
I forgot to add to my above comment:
This is perfect! It matches my colors exactly and I LOVE it. I've loved peacocks since I was a kid and our event is in Ohio. I'm getting married on Sept. 18th of this year and I could not be more excited.
I absolutely love the colors in a peacock feather, with purple being my favorite. There is something so regal about it. Unfortunately, I am getting married in April 2011 so the colors wouldn't quite work for my spring wedding. However, my maid of honor decided to throw me a peacock themed bridal shower during labor day weekend, 9/4/10.
Gorgeous! My fiance and I have a love affair with birds, especially peacocks! We're planning a wedding on April 10, 2011 at a vintage themed hotel in Portland, OR, and peacock accents will go great with our theme! These items are gorgeous!
Peacock's have the most gorgeous color scheme of any animal!! I won't be able to use their colors for my wedding because my wedding is August 22nd, 2010 and I have been planning an ivory / red wedding for a long time now but I recently saw pictures of a peacock theme wedding from the photographer I am using and their pictures turned out gorgeous. The colors really stood out and made the whole wedding lively. My MOH just started planning my bridal shower for July so I told her about it and now it looks like I'm having a peacock themed bridal shower :). I'm excited!!
I have had a hard time picking my colors but after reading this blog I have to say that I love this combination! I absolutely love this everything about it is me
Wow I love this!! People say that a wedding is about the bride…but really it’s about the couple. Our wedding is May 14, 2011 in Charlotte, NC. I love peacocks and would have them strutting across the lawn on my wedding day if I could. My fiancé, on the other hand, is a Marine Corp Vet and I’ve had to compromise on some of my colors and themes (he has a fear of pink and what he considers “girly” things, peacocks unfortunately part of that).
However, the bridal shower that is all about the bride and this screams my personality! Peacocks have fascinated me since a little girl! I was always involved with the theater as a child and young adult. Peacock plumes remind me of everything classy, vintage, and glamorous that reminds me of my love for the theater. My mom and sister are planning my shower (March 2011) and they have both put so much time into the planning already, that I really would love to take some stress off of them as a huge THANK YOU. This is the perfect package. Love it! <3
this is incredible. i'm interested in a peacock theme for my wedding reception on Nov 27, 2010 in Edison, NJ, because it's a gorgeous way to bring in elements of my Indian heritage. fingers crossed!!!
I read this blog religiously and can't believe this week's giveaway centers around peacocks! I had the absolute WORST time choosing colors for my April 30, 2011 wedding and my mother kept asking me what they were. Finally, a friend suggested a peacock theme and it was a definite AHA! moment. I love all the bold, rich colors involved and they would fit with my outdoor bay-front San Diego wedding perfectly. I asked my fiance what he thought and he said, "I love it! Peacocks are natural beauties just like you" (I can't wait to marry this man).
Since then, I've been obsessed with all things peacock; Did you know they are the national bird of India (a country I recently visited and LOVED) and they were revered in many ancient cultures? It's a great wedding theme and I couldn't be more excited. We are paying for the wedding ourselves so this would help immensely! Oh, and I've been eyeing that silk peacock brooch ever since the Emici Bridal giveaway a few weeks ago...
Thank you all for the generous prize!
I am planning our wedding for October 1, 2011 in New York- my fiance is currently deployed with the US Army and we cannot wait to be married. the peacock blue was one of the few colors we agreed on, and it fits us perfectly. Getting through this year and doing most of the planning without my future husband has been tough...knowing he is in a war zone, even tougher. but having my wedding to focus on gives me happiness and peace knowing that my fiancee and i will get to Share in this very special day, knowing that one of the few decisions we got to make together was to use peacock blue as our wedding color...
I am getting married May 15th, but my best friend is getting married next year on May 11th. We are planning to have a vintage-themed shower for her this year and ALL of these items would be a lovely addition.
Please throw my name in the hat :)

Thanks!!
I'm getting married October 1, 2010. We're having a peacock theme at a "local" aquarium. The aquarium has two baby peacocks that just made me fall in love with the colors.
It's actually by complete accident - which it seems , is usually the case for the wedding I'm planning! - my wedding colours are Blue and Purple, a bit strange to some -but it's because my fiance loves blue and I am a big fan of purple! At first, we thought we couldn't be able to match the colours, but they do quite lovely.
My florist first mentioned putting peacock feathers down during the reception but it's ridiculously costly (9 dollars a feather!!!)...so I had to scrap the idea..however, he's going to put feathers into my bouquet so it'll be a lovely addition to play up the peacock style.
My wedding is August 16, 2010 held at Vancouver, British Columbia. *cross fingers* !
Oh boy!
This is so cool... we are having a peacock themed wedding for two main reasons; the first being that my favorite color is blue...all shades, particularly rich shades of teal. The second, and most important, is that my fiance is Persian. We love what the peacock symoblizes (strength, fidelity, individuality, love, beauty, etc) and we also love that his Iranian family (including his father) will be touched by the presence of the figure (a very strong part of Persian culture, "The Peacock Throne...").
In addition, I recently was able to track down 30-year old peacock feathers from the peacocks that my grandmother once raised in Texas and we will be using them as part of of decor.
We will be getting married on July 12, 2010 in St. Croix, USVI. Our invitations were (completely made from scratch) messages in a bottle (we even burned the Corona labels off with acid and i drew the treasure map invite by hand) that included a feather in each bottle. There are pictures on our site (djavadandrachel.com).
I would love to win this stuff, as we are having a destination wedding and are looking forward to incorporating many handmade and beautiful, unique things into our day. :)
I absolutely love this! Since my fiance proposed to me in October, we quickly decided on the peacock theme. My fiance is "American" and I am Indian. Using the Peacock theme was our opportunity to incorporate Indian culture to our mostly American wedding. We would love to use all the unique colors and various Peacock Motifs.
PS: Constantly searching the web for "peacock" ideas and was soooo excited to see this.
Thanks! And congrats & best wishes to all the other Peacock Brides!!!!!
the colors! peacocks have so many different colors, perfect to combine with a colorful wedding in NY! Wedding to be in July, 2011!
We are planning a vintage wedding with peacock feather elements. I like how the peacock feather shape blends with the vintage elements to add a touch of mystique. Our wedding is 7/9/11 in Grass Valley, California.
I have always loved peacocks and I love the significance they represent and that is why we have decided to use them as our theme in our wedding (October 22, 2011). The peacock is a symbol of integrity and the beauty that can be achieved when we endeavor to better ourselves and better our lives. Our wedding will be a lapis purple and the peacock theme will look wonderful with our colors. So great to see all of the other brides incorporating the peacock into their weddings. Congrats!
