Good Place to Buy Feathers for Centerpieces??

They are not cheep if you really want the plumes.... the longer fuller ones.... Ostrich Drabs are typically much smaller than Wing Plumes, but cost less. These are more of what you find in the art stores. They may look similar but drabs are actually much different. The fibers are shorter and thinner and so are the quills. The tips of Drab feathers below 17" usually don't droop the way a Wing Plume's does is.

They cost about $45 - $85 per table to buy/rent/DIY..... they are not cheep.... if you have them in your budget, they are very neat. More if you get the bigger feathers like in your example.

You get 4 centerpieces via 1lbs of Plumes.

**Very short feathers compared to other sites and examples. 24" vase kinda short. drab, not plumes. $40 per centerpiece.

24" vase kinda short. drab, not plumes. $40 per centerpiece

To give you an idea... this one has only 15 feathers and 24" tall

I think 15 looks sparse... I would go for 20 - 25. Even with 20... feathers sold individually are $2 per feather That is $40 just in feathers! Then add on the vase and the LED light....

If you have the money, go for it... But I rather go on a cruise with that money.

22-28" Plumes are recommended for centerpieces over 24". about 80 feathers in 1lb.

There are about 110 feathers in a pound of 18-22" Wing Plumes. Quantity does vary in this size range, but it's usually right around 110. These feathers are generally recommended for vases 26" and under.

2nd picture is 24" vase on a table next to glasses

Haley is right. I was going to do these centerpieces until I saw the difference between plumes and drabs. Plumes are beautiful but really expensive.

A fun alternative you ask? Boa Balls ! This is a quote for 25 tables... adjust as needed

$138 for 25 purple feather boa, thicker 100 grams. ($60 for 10)

or search for your own purple and green boas....

12 28" Eiffel Tower Vases = $108 ($9.00 ea.) x2 = $216

12 32" Eiffel Tower Vases = $132 ($11.00 ea.) x2 = $264

I agree, save on crafts you can find the feathers and the vases for an affordable price. Im going with an old hollywood feel to so I know your reception will be fab!

Try ebay thats where I found mine.

Ok... Save on Crafts.... let's do some shopping.

Purple Ostrich Feather Plumes (18-22" tall) 6 for $27.54 ($4.59 each) You need at least 10 - 15 purple and 10 - 15 white....

Lets say you have 10 tables.

10 x 15 purple feathers = 150 = 25 bunches at $27.54 per bunch

That is $688 JUST ON PURPLE feathers.....

17-21" White Ostrich Feathers 188 feathers = $389

$1077 just on feathers for 10 tables !!!!!! still need vases and LED lights, and foam balls to put feathers in....

again.. I would rather go on a cruise.

If.. and that is a BIG IF.... you really want purple feathers.... see how many you can buy off this site. $1.75 per feather. They are shorter 14 - 16 inch... but you need some shorter ones too make the centerpiece.

$1.75 x 150 feathers = $262.50 for purple

$389 for the white on Save on Crafts.
