After the ceremony, the guests were led to the reception. The couple had requested us to incorporate elements of peacocks into their special day. Instead of going the traditional jewel tone route, we wanted to soften the palette and use light pastels and bleached peacock feathers for a more subdued underlying effect rather than an obvious peacock theme.

A single bleached peacock feather was placed at each table setting. There was only one peacock that made an actual appearance at the event, proudly perched on a frame hovering over the dessert bar.

Ombre hand dyed runners inspired from the couture resort collections of the Paris runways faded from bright blue, to light aqua to sea foam green and blended into the backdrop of the sparkling sea. Chandeliers swayed above the tables were also hand dyed in a palette of light blues and greens made from cotton fabric with raw edges, knotted and strung with crystals sparkling throughout. A floral crown was placed on top of each chandelier resembling a woodland fairy. Since we did not want to go the traditional Hawaiian wedding route and create chandeliers from leis of orchids- this was our softer and more custom interpretation. Each chandelier was up-lit and glowing by the time the sun started to set.

We wanted to incorporate the rest of the peacock feel in a non-literal way with the ruffles of the curtain swaying behind the soda bar, the pattern of the brocade napkins which resembled the outline of the peacock monogram, and the color palettes which consistently faded from dark to light throughout the event.

Guests were also treated to eye candy which was the soda bar with colors fading from purples to peaches, mimicking the Hawaiian sunset and the royal colors of proud peacocks. Instead of a traditional cake table we placed dainty cupcakes onto vintage dishes and filled drawers with brightly colored taffy and clusters of flowers.

Stay tuned tomorrow for our custom bleached peacock feather bouquet giveaway!
