18 Peacock Wedding Centerpieces For A Glamorous Look

Quick – think of the first animal that exemplifies opulence, beauty, and royalty. What did you come up with?

“Why would a wedding website ask me such a weird question?” you might ask yourself. “What do peacocks have to do with weddings?”

Actually, a lot. You’ll find peacock feathers at vibrant and glamorous weddings (think Mardi Gras themed for example, or as luxurious decoration accents) all around the world!

If you’re having a peacock-themed wedding, you can’t go wrong with gorgeous centerpieces which display all the gorgeous colors of the peacock’s signature feathers. Make sure you tie in those shades of rich turquoise and greens and throw in a little purple if you’re wanting some contrast. 

We at Wedding Pioneer have collected some awesome ideas for wedding centerpieces that embody the beautiful jewel-toned peacock aesthetic.

There are a lot of creative ideas here, so read on for inspiration!

What Color Palette Do Peacock Feathers Look Good With?

When thinking about centerpieces, you can’t go wrong with rich purple jewel tones like burgundy, dark violet, and shades of amethyst.

Gold is always a safe bet as well, since so many strands of the peacock feather glimmer and shine. 

Because the feather has a dark spot surrounded by shades of aqua, teal, turquoise, and green, don’t be too heavy-handed with those prominent colors when getting creative… you want those to pop, so think about neutral shades or complementary colors!

You can easily tie in all of your desired colors by incorporating them in bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen ties, flowers, table decorations, and lighting, to name a few.

There are so many ways to accent and boldly highlight the majestic peacock feather!

Which Flowers Look Best with Peacock Feathers?

Because the peacock feather shape is so iconic, you can’t go wrong with either round blossoms of any variety, or a flower shape that is also complementary.

Think white calla lilies with their beautifully angled and ruffled edges or light purple orchids to pull out those gorgeous violet tones. 

You can even go with pale greenery as an accompanying partner to the feathers. Remember, pale is key here- bright greens will detract from the natural emerald hues, so keep the greens basic and lightly colored to make a lovely background for the attractive feathers. 

Our last suggestion is black or dark flowers. And before you turn your nose up at this idea, let us remind you that black is not all doom and gloom… dark flowers are very classy and definitely a unique choice, not to mention they look amazing with peacock feathers!

Think about large black dahlias, deep purple calla lilies, purple orchids, or even black roses. 

Do It Yourself with Natural Peacock Feathers

Silver Mercury Votive Candle

Tie some snipped pieces of feather to small mercury votives and use a glittery ribbon for extra sparkle as the candles burn.

Peacock feathers naturally look best near some light, so pairing them with candles is a smart move.

You’ll want to highlight the shimmering textures and bewitching “eyes” of the feather, so consider the way they’ll look in a variety of lighting situations. 

Light Blue Textured Glass Bud Vases

For a minimalistic and restrained look, think about putting your peacock feathers in small bud vases in hues of blues and greens. You can amp it up with some ribbon, or votives in a complementary color. 

You can easily put small stems of your wedding florals in the bud vases along with the feathers too. Any sort of blue glass with peacock feathers can easily be used for a boho or even Moroccan-themed wedding.

This is a great way to pull in all the glorious colors of the peacock feather without going too overboard. The dried grasses add a touch of boho and a heap of creative whimsy!

Dyed Peacock Feathers

Do you want that captivating look that only peacock feathers can provide? But you also want to break free from the teal and green colors?

Perhaps dyed feathers are more your speed!

Rice White Peacock Feathers

If you’re looking for something different, try a spin on typical peacock feathers and opt for a monotone color. 

Peacock feathers will always have that luxurious, glamorous aesthetic, and in this beautiful off-white shade, they’ll look so classy and stunning on their own!

Don’t worry, the muted rice white color looks way more intentional and appealing than starkly dyed bright white feathers.

These gorgeous purple feathers might be just what you’re looking for to build your ideal centerpiece.

They’re unique enough to catch the eye and make your guests “ooh and ahh” over the delicate, bewitching tendrils.

Natural Peacock Ornaments

The desire to rent a live animal to walk around at your wedding reception is apparently very real…and while we at Wedding Pioneer do not want to poo-poo other wedding ideas, we strongly suggest not doing this for a variety of reasons.

Peacock Feather Birdhouses

Have people compared you and your partner to two birds of a feather? How appropriate, because peacocks are one of the few animal species known to mate for life.

Purple, Blue, Turquoise, and Green Satin Petals

Petals make perfect wedding decorations and these satin flower petals have a ton of applications!
