A quick look on the asian fashion and bridal scene will show you the same - that there are so many places it can be used. I have seen peacock wedding invites, button holes and mehndi designs number among the hundreds of ways to use the peacock motif, and I love the way it really brings out the creativity in so many peoples - and there are plenty of inspiration mood boards, galleries and ideas everywhere to be found.
Take this sari from popular Indian designers Meena Bazaar for example, it has cleverly incorporated a peacock designs which looks beautifully elegant, and is ideal for almost any special occaison. I love the amount of detail which has gone into the sari here, and the fact that the designers have not limited themselves to the simple blue-and-green colours.

The peacock motif is a beautiful one, and it's easy to integrate this design into the asian fashion scene (as well as the non-asian!) - be it with via the peacock design, its beautiful jewel colours or even it's feathers. Of course, it is easy to get carried away and add a peacock theme to everything - but I would advise that you add some dull golds, silvers or bronzes to tone down the look, or just add peacock touches to your outfits for a simpler look.
Has anyone had a peacock themed outfit or event? What ideas have you had?
