The notion of a Feynman category was introduced by the first author and \textit{B. Ward} in [Feynman categories. Paris: Société Mathématique de France (SMF) (2017; Zbl 1434.18001)] in order to model general structures formed by collections of operations, among which classical variants of the notion of an operad (ordinary symmetric operads, cyclic and modular operads, properads, wheeled properads, PROPS, \dots). \par In this paper, the authors define a decorated version of the notion of a Feynman category. They prove that the non-symmetric versions of the usual operad-like structures can be covered by using this extension of the notion of a Feynman category, as well as the example of \textit{M. Markl}'s dihedral modular operad [J. Noncommut. Geom. 10, No. 2, 775--809 (2016; Zbl 1375.81205)].
