Feather Tablecloths

Birds of a feather flock together. Right?
Well, as of late, designers sure have. This season’s hottest wedding accessory – feathers – have been showing up in tablecloths!

This elegant tablecloth – made of hundreds of tiny white feathers, was to match Oscar de la Renta’s unbelievably beautiful feather wedding gown. Here’s a picture I found on Wedsavvy:


If colorful statements are more your thing, try this beautiful peacock feather tablecloth. Notice the feathered pen that provides that finishing touch! Perfect for lively wedding receptions.


If you are looking for something more elegant, but all white just isn’t your thing – try a white tablecloth with black feathers. This one specifically is hemmed with gorgeous black feathers, but yours can be done anyway you please! Imagine one with tufts of feathers, or even a black and white feather pattern.
The possibilities are endless!






Also, if you are thinking about a feather themed wedding, or just want to see more of this stunning art, check out some of our older blog posts. Feathers never go out of style! We’ve featured many wedding accessories that are feather themed. Scroll back through time and you’ll see – feather weddings really are timeless.

Firstdibs Feathers

I am in feather heaven. HEAVEN! I was surfing through firstdibs.com and found all these feathered pieces that are just to die for.
Green, red, black, orange… you want it, they got it. I thought I might post here some of the pieces I especially loved, but feel free to surf for yourself and post your favorites in the comments. I’d love to hear what appeals to you most.

One of the most original pieces I found is a lime green knit cut, and hemmed with gorgeous ostrich feathers. Is it not beautiful?




This bubblegum pink hat (by Christian Dior might I mention?) features matching feathers on the side. If the feathers were a different shade the overall effect might have been a bit overwhelming, but bold uniform color makes the piece a killer. What would you pay to put this masterpiece on your head?



Victor Costa designed this stunning dress, an electric purple perfectly accented by a loud, ruffled hem of dark pink feathers. Simply fantastic:


Night out on the town with your girls, and nothing to spice your wardrobe up? Why not try this enthralling feather boa – with safari themed colors and a thick fluffy finish? There’s no way you could go wrong. You’ll never want to take it off!




Have you splurged on some designer feathered accessories or dresses lately? Are you also going on web-feather-searching-binges? What are your favorite sites? Let us know!

Feather Shoes 2013


There is one thing on this planet that I just cannot resist. And that, my dear friends, is shoes.
What woman can? They might even rival chocolate as the one thing women want most. And
this week all I see are feathers - shoes with feathers! It is the merging of two heavens, the
essence of the perfect item, possibly the point of my existence!

Well, maybe not the point of my existence.

But I am simply obsessed with feathered shoes, and this season, they are in by the closetful.

One of the first pairs that caught my eye take is the Pina Colada Sandals by Aquazzura an
interesting twist on feathers – who would have thought fruit? They are perfectly tropical and
fun!
Another amazing pair, by Charllote Olympia, uses every color in the rainbow! These Dolly
Feather Rainbow Pumps just scream party.
Another wild work encompasses an ombre feather style that is simply fabulous. The range of
blue and yellow hues streamline effortlessly to give off a young and stylish impression that
just can't be countered. I also adore the finishing touch here, the aerial feather in the front –
it is so original and unexpected.




For a more subdued, simple look, these shoes by Roberto Cavalli are perfect for the office,
a lunch meeting, or networking event. Classy and sophisticated, the black feathers on these
pumps are almost an onyx color, giving off a slight jewel tone as well.

Spring Feather Fashion 2013



 The highly anticipated New York Fashion week has finally come, and feathers are everywhere!
I thought I'd show you a few of my favorite pieces, though there are enough to sit for hours looking through.
One of the most stunning feathered dresses I saw was this one in Prabal Gurung's new spring collection.
Prabal Gurung has actually been making some of the most popular feathered dresses lately. Everyone looks good in black, but Demi Moore, pictured here on the red carpet, took that one step further when she went for a head to toe look in this feathered masterpiece.
 Feathered shawls, wraps, or shrugs are the perfect way to liven up an otherwise plain and ordinary LBD, and have also become all the rage lately. This grey one has a chic, sophisticated look that adds an air of luxury to the entire ensemble, while still keeping it cool and collected.

Another great way to make any outfit pop is with a feathered purse in a bright, eye catching color. For more conserved feather lovers, a purse can be the perfect finishing touch to any dress, pantsuit, or even casual wear.  This purse, by Kate Spade, is made from actual ostrich feathers! I would love to have one of these myself.

Feather Hat From Threefloorfashion.com



This European style army hat that has been turned into feather work of art is a most original piece.

I am very impressed with the entire line that is available on the Three FloorFashion website.
Everything that they have is very one of a kind and different.
 I came across the three floor site from a blog called Performance and Cocktails which also a great place to find some of the greatest new fashions.
So the fun part of this hat is to discuss what feathers it has on it.
So here we go and if any of you think that I get any of them wrong then please leave a comment and let me know.
I am going to break the hat into three parts for the three different feathers it has on it. The middle feathers top feathers and bottom feathers.

So I think that these middle feathers are the tops of blue crow peacock plumage feathers.
Next the top feathers seem to be green gold peacock plumage feathers.

And the last bottom feathers are yellow black pheasant feathers.

Now with this information you can go out and order our feathers and create your ound hat with the same look.
If you do decide to do that please send us a picture.

Feather Fashion Projects For Kids


Creativity For Kids Feather Fashions

Rating:Not rated:






$19.99
"With this set from Creativity for Kids, your daughter can create fun and feathery fashions. The set comes with more than 50 pieces, including feathers, rhinestones, headbands, hairclips and ponytail holders. Your child can spend hours making fun hair accessories for herself. Or, with so many pieces, you can use it for a fun birthday party activity by letting each guest make an accessory of her own design."

In my opinion this product is living proof that the feather fashion trend has exploded into society in a way that few fashion trends do.
Of course the projects and jewelry that are made from this set are not at the level that we are looking for with the feather fashion projects that we describe on our blog but still for $20 it is great.
The beauty of the set is its simplicity that all you need comes in one package.
Let me state very clearly that FeatherStore.com will not benefit in any way from sales made from this post.
But because we are all about spreading the feather fashion trend we are happy to introduce other products to our readers.
What I would like to do is suggest some additional feathers that you can add to this product without spending a lot more money.
First up are these super colorful peacock plumage ”blue hairy” feathers they are absolutely stunning and $7.95 for a hundred pieces you can add these beauties to all sorts of apparel for extra color.

Next are these   Peacock Black Partridge feathers which are more subtle in color but extremely pretty.
$5.95 for 100 pcs

And last these peacock eye feathers, they may be a bit more expensive than the others but they can turn simple jewelry into something magical.

Let us know if you buy the set from Creativity for Kids and how it was.
