While planning a theme wedding, it's very easy to get carried away and lose track of how much (or little) needs to be done. As a peacock-themed wedding leans more towards being elegant and bold, it's important to be able to draw a line so as to not make it very flashy while incorporating it as your wedding theme. Although the vibrant and royal colors are in perfect harmony with each other, it is essential to understand the importance of using these colors sparingly or grandly at the right places. For maximum effect, use one focal color for the wedding ceremony and another for the reception party. This way, you can keep the décor subtle, yet give it a royal touch. And to help you organize it all, we've put together some ideas that will require a blend of your creativity and special efforts to make it successful.
Peacock Colors Palette
First and foremost, select the hues you wish to include in your wedding. Including every single color in all the details will be overdramatic. You want the guests to experience the 'wow' factor, and not cringe as they walk in to venue. Right?
To balance the rich peacock colors, include shades gold, brown, and white to your décor. This will help separate the theme colors, and draw attention to the contrasting canvas.
'Save-the-date' Cards
As soon as you set the date for the wedding prepare and finalize your Save-the-date cards. Choose a design and wordings for the card, and send it out at least 6 months in advance. This will help your guests make arrangements for travel, accommodation, time off work, etc.

You don't necessarily have to send Save-the-date cards that match the wedding theme. If you haven't finalized the color scheme for the wedding, are unsure about the peacock theme, or want to send cards that aren't related to the wedding theme, it's perfectly alright to do so.
Wedding Invitations
The invitation card is an integral part of your wedding that requires a lot of thought and preparation. For inspiration, you can go through sites like etsy and zazzle for some wonderful designs of invitation cards.

The Bride
This is the part where things may be a bit tricky and will require utmost care. First of all, ask yourself if you wish to include peacock-inspired accessories to your wedding, or just limit it to the décor?
If you choose the earlier option, know that there are tons of ways to incorporate the theme into your attire―from shoes, garter, jewelry to headpieces and bouquets. And, if your groom doesn't like flashy stuff, you can ask him to wear a subtle peacock feathers boutonnière.
Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
Don't forget the bridal party! Ask your groom to confirm with his groomsmen whether they agree to carry some elements related to the wedding theme. It can be anything from boutonnières and bow ties to cufflinks and socks.
Your maid of honor and bridesmaids can truly have fun picking out their dresses for the wedding. Either choose one color for all their dresses, or depending on the number of bridesmaids you have, let them pick a color for themselves. With turquoise, royal blue, green, and purple, there are plenty of hues to choose from.
