La Plume Ethere

We’re partial to weddings that incorporate feathers, which makes us a natural fan of La Plume Ethere. They create unique, vintage-inspired feather accessories including feather bouquets and bouts. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted to perfection to add a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art to your wedding or special event. To say we’re smitten with the teal heels adorned in peacock feathers, would be an understatement.

La Plume Ethere donates 10% of all sales to The American Cancer Society. When I began creating and selling items, I did so around the holiday season of 2009. This was my first holiday season after having lost my mother to lung cancer. She was an avid crafter, and I decided I wanted to create wedding items (my wedding was coming up in 2010) to both fundraise for ACS, and to keep myself busy around the first holiday season without her. Soon, I discovered that I not only loved fund-raising for ACS, but I loved working with brides. I love that something I create will be a vital part of their wedding, and I am honored to be a part of each La Plume Bride’s wedding.

How can you beat buying something beautiful, all while supporting a fantastic cause? Head on over to La Plume Ethere and find your perfect befeathered wedding accessory!

Spring Forest Wedding Ideas

This styled shoot sent to us by Rachael Grace Photography is heavy on the woodsy, generous with the purple, and is an endless source of inspiration for the whimsical forest bride within us. With cake design by Frills Cake Shop with florals by Bare Root Flora, one couldn’t miss a thing!

From the photographer, Rachael: Inspired by a couple that wanted to keep things simple with just the two of them we designed an inspiration shoot for spring. Birdcages hung from the trees and filled with soft spring flowers brought a touch of elegance to an otherwise rustic setting. A robins egg blue vintage car added the perfect ending to the shoot. A couple off on the journey together. Just the two of them.

Whimsical Waxahachie Wedding

It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that a wedding where the bride used to work for Anthropologie as a display coordinator, would be a gem of a stunner. Then we saw the images that Sara & Rocky captured, and we were beyond sold. From her decor — which she tackled with the help of her parents — to her stunning tiered ruffled wedding gown from BHLDN, we’re loving everything about this wedding. Especially the banner signs Kate and her mother made!

From the photographers, Sara & Rocky: Kate and Cory were married on a rainy day in Waxahachie, Texas. They were married in her church she grew up in, then had their reception in the Chautauqua Auditorium (one of the only ones left). Kate used to work for Anthropologie, so she and her mom & dad made pretty much everything — The LOVE sign, the K & C signs, the drink and cake signs, bottles for flowers, everything!
