Butterfly Wedding Themes
With spring in the air, butterfly wedding themes become more prominent. Symbolic of romance, adventure and transition, the butterfly captures the essence of "new beginnings" for a bride and groom perfectly. Their beautiful, soft, powdery colors, their freedom to fly and their delicate poise, make butterflies a natural choice for beach or outdoor wedding themes. Since butterflies come in such a variety of sizes and colors, they add flexibility to your planning. In the spring, you may choose butterflies of light pastel colors as opposed to brighter, more vibrant ones later in the summer. Every aspect of your wedding from your invitations to your gown can reflect your choice of a wedding theme. You can also accent your butterfly theme with the use of wildflowers which butterflies are naturally attracted to.
Here are a few "Do-It-Yourself" ideas to get you started...
Hey, who can't afford to save money these days? * On your gown, just a couple of colored nylon butterflies would be just right. Attached them in such a way that they look as though they have "just lit" there to witness your ceremony.
* Tuck a small arrangement of wild flowers with a butterfly in your hair or attach them to a comb that will hold your veil in place. Of course there are some beautiful butterfly tiaras too.
* Create your own wildflower bouquet using silk or fresh flowers. Don't forget to add a few long stemmed nylon butterflies into the mix.
* The groom's boutonniere could be a single bloom being "sipped" gently by a beautiful butterfly. The groomsmen could each wear a lone butterfly that would appear to have lit on their lapels. You can easily make these yourself!
* Cake tops are numerous for butterfly wedding themes. Some can be quite expensive. If you think about it, you could make these yourself as well using silk wild flowers and nylon butterflies arranged in a styrofoam cone. Add a little tulle to the bottom edge of the cone. Cover the rough edges with a band of ribbon. Then add a mix of flowers by pushing the stems into the cone. At the top, place two delicate butterflies and it will be just as beautiful at a fraction of the cost! If you need some great design ideas for butterfly wedding themes, visit the cake gallery.
* Now that you are on a roll, go ahead and do your centerpieces too.Large, four wick candles come dirt cheap in a rainbow of colors. Surround one with a wreath of silk wild flowers and adorn with butterflies.
* Make your own wedding invitations too using your wildflower and butterfly motif. This is especially easy if you have a computer and printer in your home. Use your imagination. Your invitations could even be shaped like a butterfly and open as one would spread it's wings. Wedding Clipart is an excellent resource to help you with this task!
*Favors, accessories and decorations for butterfly wedding themes are abundant so you should have no trouble finding what you need. * Don't forget that perfect Father/Daughter song - "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle!
About Butterfly Releases...It would seem certain that since this page is dedicated to Butterfly Wedding Themes, live butterfly releases would be included if not suggested as part of you celebration. Not being an advocate for butterfly releases myself, I do not promote them. I do not condemn them either. The Amazing Butterflies site will help you to draw your own conclusions about butterfly releases. There are many factors to consider when making your decision.
