Purple Peacock

When you get married at the Capitol Rotunda there is no need for decorating!  So my task was simple, just two bouquets and boutonnieres.  But the bride requested a peacock feather handle. No easy task!  Any tips on gluing feathers around a handle are welcome!!! But it was a labor of love and in the end, it turned out to be pretty cool. Our beloved piano teacher, Meghan, was the sister of the bride, so I was willing to bend over backwards to make it work. Like in June, I was unable to get to the ranunculus flowers Rachel wanted but the locally grown lisianthus substitute was stunning.  And despite a car show blocking traffic and an unwelcome cold, Rachel had a perfect wedding day!
