Celebrity Trends: Fashionable Feathers for Your Wedding
It's been nearly two years since we witnessed Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw accessorize her wedding dress with a turqoise peacock feather headpiece on the day she almost wed the infamous Mr. Big

Since then, we've watched Hollywood celebrities like Kate Bosworth, Blake Lively, Julianne Hough and countless other celebrity A-listers don party dresses with plumes of soft, billowy feathers.

Feathers can add a touch of whimsy and high fashion to your wedding look. But if you’re not ready to embrace the feather trend on your one and only wedding dress, you can tread this trend lightly in one of two ways.
- Get The Look Without The Feathers:
The delicate characteristics of chiffon or tulle can achieve a feather-like appearance. Both materials have a soft finish and a sheer, silky look similar to genuine feathers.
