Trend Watch - Fabulously Feathered Finery

They're soft, they're delicate, they're romantic - and they're a popular trend for 2012 weddings. From elegant to whimsical, posh to rustic, feathers have made their way into just about every wedding genre. They can be found in bridal fashions, flowers, and wedding cake design, as well as on invitations, favors, and table decor.

If you are looking to incorporate this trend into your event, here are some beautiful ideas to kick start your  creativity.
