Paper for walls and not for desktops

Help! I am looking for peacock feather motif wallpaper, as in paper for walls and not for desktops.

I am getting married next year and want to use a strip of this peacock feather motif on the invitations. So far google-ing has come up with a lot of destop wallpapers and not so many actual wallpapers.

So does anyone know of places that would do similar motifs as wallpaper, paper, or card?

You could check out online scrapbooking suppliers - the places with tons of decorative papers. Or even better, print out your own paper - this is an elegant peacock feather print.

The Persian/Mogul design motif known in the West as Paisley has been said to have been inspired by peacock feathers (among other things like cypress trees or bodhi tree leaves).

Try this site, I find the Beauchamp Nouveau Gallica Oyster and the blue version of their Bowmore especially nice (and subtle).
