feathery 2009 ideas

It is officially our wedding year!  I feel like I've been neglecting this whole wedding-planning thing because of the holidays, but I plan to get on it very soon.  I have a lot of ideas brewing and have received a very helpful book for Christmas.  (Thanks Mallory!!)

I really want to make boutonnieres for the groomsmen, but with feathers and such instead of flowers.  As much as I LOVE flowers, I want to make something that will last and the guys will be able to use again... if ever they have an occasion to do so.  I borrowed the image above from a $10,000 wedding.  I think it is cute take on boutonnieres and of course I love the button!  We'll see what the groom thinks of it...

Basically, I just love feathers.  I really like this yellow one, which actually isn't a boutonniere at all.  It is for you hair!  So... that might be something else to consider.  More ideas coming soon!  Stay tuned!
