lovely little icons.

I was perusing Michelle Rago's site today -- and for the first time, her logo really caught my eye.

I'm not sure why I've never noticed it before, because I'm always drawn to shades of green -- and, inexplicably, peacocks.

So after seeing this logo, I got to thinking ... I keep trying to come up with ways (or really, reasons for) to incorporate peacock imagery into some of our wedding elements. That's my problem with wedding icons, symbols or motifs -- I always have to have a reason for why something was chosen.

I love bird imagery -- little birdies, nests, eggs, feathers, etc. -- and I would LOVE to incorporate that somehow ... but why? FI and I didn't have our first date at the flight cage, we don't own any pet birds, my name isn't Robin. There isn't much of a reason why we should have it. Why would mini nest favors

make any more sense than say ... chocolate dinosaurs?

(side note: I am OBSESSED with these darling chocolate penguins from Burdick -- don't even get me started on my love affair with penguins ...)

Anyway ... just something I've been pondering lately ;o)

Good luck with this one. I find it rather hard to sit down with brides and stay focused... it seems that every hobby, pasttime, sweet nothing, and date that has occupied the duration of their relationship surfaces in our little meeting- and they look to me with hopeful eyes as though I can find some way to bring it all together. Honestly, I had one bride that was soooo insistant that she ended up with an aisle of frosted birch, loads of white christmas trees, peacock feathers galore, and a giant orchid monogram floral structure! It was the most confusing and chaotic set of ideas to have to somehow make cohesive... Good luck with your ventures- and if all else fails... the penguins are adorable and halarious!

ps. I have actually had a bride that was able to justify her peacock-swallow-finch obsessed design with the fact that the majority of birds stay together for life...
