i just started this cause i wanted to get an idea of what it was going to look like...
so far i'm liking it.. i have a lot to add to it yet.... TONS more crystal stems... i'm also going to paint the tips of a few of the feathers gold... and maybe add a few flowers yet to throw in some color....

what do you guys think???

any ideas of what i should add?

(our wedding colors are ivory brown and champagne with gold accents)

I think it will be really neat, but why not add some gold crystals instead of painting the feathers? I would be afraid that the paint would cause the feathers to get all stuck together and not look as pretty and fluffy as they do now. Can't wait to see it finished!

I would try finding colored feathers, or colored crystals instead of painting the feathers. It looks great! Can't wait to see what you decide to do!

I love the fluffness of it :)

It looks good so far, I can't wait to see it with a bit of colour.

I'd use crystals or feathers to add color. Paint would just make the feathers look heavy and clumpy (if that is a word)

There are loads of different coloured Feathers and Crystals on the market.
I'm using Black Feathers in my Bouquet. But adding Silk Roses in Red and Ivory.

Coloured Crystals will look great among the Feathers.
At the moment it looks like a little Fluffy Cloud (In a nice way)
