DIY Peacock Feather Centerpieces

Add peacock feathers to a centerpiece to add visual interest.

Peacock feathers add something extra to even the most ordinary centerpiece. If you want to liven up your centerpieces for a party or wedding, add peacock feathers to the arrangement. Or simply use several peacock feathers in a vase for an understated, elegant centerpiece. Peacock feathers are versatile and can jazz up any occasion, whether it's formal or rustic.

Things You'll Need

• Mason jars or vases
• Water
• Pebbles or colored marbles
• Wildflowers
• Peacock feathers
• Ball shaped ornaments
• Vases that are clear, gold or jewel toned
• Purple flowers

Instructions

1. Fill mason jars or glass vases about halfway with water, and drop in some pebbles or colored marbles. Place freshly picked wildflowers into the water and anchor them into the rocks or pebbles. Stick a couple of peacock feathers into the arrangement for the final touch.

2. Choose a jewel-toned vase to complement the peacock feathers in a green, dark blue or turquoise color. Fill the vase with lots of peacock feathers for a striking centerpiece. Place one vase on each table or several if you are having one large table. A gold-colored vase would also work.

3. Fill a large ceramic container with gold or silver ball ornaments. Stick peacock feathers in a line around the ornaments, or just place peacock feathers in between some of the balls. Any type of container can be used, but elegant pottery would be beautiful, such as an antique-looking gold flower pot or elaborate vase. Alternately, fill a clear glass vase with blue and green ornaments and stick the peacock feathers into that.

4. Create an arrangement around peacock feathers. Fill a vase with flowers that match the feathers, such as a solid purple arrangement. Stick a few peacock feathers right into the center of the arrangement. The contrast between the purple flowers and peacock feathers will be beautiful.

Tips & Warnings

• Use flowers that match the colors in the peacock feathers to bring out the colors of the feathers even more.
