A story of two F's - Feathers and Flowers!


I am particularly fond of the aesthetic created here and the vibrancy of the many colours accentuated with flowers and feathers. 

Styling of events will be another focus for Ada & Darcy. Beautiful work like this keeps me motivated and inspired. 

What keeps you inspired?


Fabulous styling from here. x

    I don't know if I've ever seen flowers and feathers paired up like this. Very nice!

    There are certain color combos, that when they appear send me through the creative co-op..so to speak.

    Turquoise + Sapphire + Magenta = Clove

    All my senses collectively agree.

    I like very much flowers and feathers, specially in a headdress!
    What keeps me inspired? Old fashion pictures, specially those about XVIII and XIX centuries, or fifties fashion. I like to make my own clothes, and I always try to be inspired searching images about these ages.

    I love the colors used here, especially the turquoise and pinks, and the feathers create wonderful height without bulk. Absolutely lovely.

    I love the colors in these displays!
    My motivation comes from my husband being my biggest fan! Also.....I'm getting my masters in counseling right now, so talking to people in the field motivates me to keep going!

    Love this post!

    Fashion magazines and blogs keep me inspired. I seem to naturally crave making things which sort of helps.

    The colours in these photos remind me of those bright chandeliers...have you seen them?

    Beautiful colours that remind me of indian saris. I certainly think travel and foreign cultures inspire me. Also wonderful blogs like yours and others. I am definitely a visual person, though even smells can be inspiring.

    This is terrific. I rarely see feathers used for decor purposes, but I love the look. Especially if it's like the black and white one pictured. I definitely think ideas taken from nature and the animal world (as long as it doesn't hurt animals) is a great idea.
