I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place, I hope so.

My fiance and I are getting married at our hometown United Methodist Church. I was planning on using the Peacock and Peacock feathers as the theme for the wedding and putting them in flowers arrangements and other things.

I tried to find information on them and thought they were good. Now I have a friend who told me that they are bad luck and are thought to be evil. I've also read that the feathers shouldn't be brought indoors.
Although, I don't think that necessarily all the feathers used would be real, some would be fake.

After googling this, I've found different points mentioning that the peacock is a symbol of Christianity and renewal and resurrection. But I've also found it it thought to be the evil eye according to greek mythology.

My mother-in-law is supposed to be checking with our Church, but I am very interested in hearing others opinions and finding out the facts about this. I definitely don't want to doom the marriage before it even starts by having something unchristian involved.

I would appreciate your help.
Thanks!
 
Personally, unless God convicts you about it do what makes you happy. We are blessed of God and no feather is going to change that.
BTW- congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
