One of the up and coming trends are ostrich feather centerpieces…and it’s easy to see why. The feathers are elegant and provide a classy ambiance to the party. There are generally two types of feathers used for centerpieces – the femina feathers, which are large with wide plumes, and the drab ones, which are slightly smaller and narrow in comparison.For a centerpiece, you also need a large vase to hold them. To create a palm tree effect, you could tie the feathers stems together with wire before putting them in the vase, but the possibilities for these elegant centerpieces are limitless. The femina feathers are more suited towards a palm tree or fern-like centerpiece, while the drab feathers, being considerably fluffier, are perfect as accents for a bouquet or to form a wreath.
A common question is, ‘How many ostrich feathers should I order for each vase?’ The beauty of a do it yourself project is you can make the centerpiece as simple or as grand as you’d like. A standard ostrich feather centerpiece can look spectacular with as few as 13 ostrich feathers. After you choose your preferred colour and vase base, you are ready to start designing your centerpiece. We recommend starting by putting the ostrich feather quill ends into bouquet holders starting from the bottom and moving around the holder in a circular motion, in an upward direction. Try to keep the larger feathers towards the bottom and the smaller ones nearer to the top. The desired look of an ostrich feather centerpiece is to have them soft and droopy so be patient if they seem a little straight at first as it may take a couple of days for them to droop.
