pea-hock

my daughter when she was about 4 years old called peacocks "pea-hocks." is that only cute because i'm her mother i wonder...

ok, so there is this commercial i like, its for (i think) kohler fixtures. it shows an attractive hip urban couple meeting with a fancy pants big city architect (you can tell this because he has dark rimmed glasses and is wearing a black turtleneck...). the couple is sitting at the architect's desk and the woman pulls out a faucet fixture and says, "design a house around that." weddings can be just like that. your inspiration can start with just one simple element--often it is a color, but it could be an heirloom piece of jewelry, or even a shoe--and your wedding evolves and grows from there.  for me it was the sound of music, ok, not the children dressed in austrian folk costumes (please!) specifically it was maria's wedding dress which is shown for like 40 seconds in the film, but that was enough for me to fall in love.

somewhere on top of one of her many shelves of vases, jane has a peacock feather in her shop. i love it, and wondered about designing a wedding around just that feather. here is my peacock wedding inspiration board...it was hard narrowing down the choices, there is lots of inspiration out there if you just look...
