Butterflies
are now becoming the popular way for a bride and groom to
celebrate their wedding. Imagine that the bride and groom
have just said their vows. They walk hand in hand outside
and are handed a beautiful decorated box. They open it and
dozens of butterflies emerge to fly around and delight the
guests and bride and groom.

Brides are looking
for different ways to make their wedding different and unique. The
releasing of butterflies is starting to become a very popular
alternative to throwing rice. They are environmentally friendly
and beautiful also. As the butterflies fly around and even land on
guests, you will see the delight and excitement on their faces.
They will leave talking about the release and some may even be
walking out with a butterfly on their shoulder.
When ordering butterflies, you want to make sure that they come
from a reputable butterfly farmer. You do not want to try to save
money and order “grow your own” butterfly kits. There are many
things that can go wrong and you don’t want to be disappointed on
your wedding day.
The butterflies can either be released individually or as a mass
release. You may want to consider the event to decide what type of
release to do. You can order enough butterflies to hand out to all
of the guests, you can just have the wedding party do a release,
or the bride and groom can do a mass release. When doing a mass
release, three to four dozen make a nice release. You can do more
or even less, depending on the impression that you would like to
make.
The individual release envelopes are a triangular shaped envelope.
Different farmers offer different options. Some use origami
envelopes; others use a card stock type. Some will offer to have
names and dates written on the envelopes free of charge and others
will charge a small fee.
The mass release box comes in many different sizes, shapes and
decorations. You can opt to make your own or buy one from where
you purchase your butterflies. They can range from a plain basket
with netting wrapped around it, that you make yourself, to the
more extravagant box decorated in satin and flowers. You can talk
this over with whomever you purchase your butterflies from. They
will be able to advise you on the best effect that you would like
to achieve.
You do have to remember that the butterflies can not be released
in the rain or in temperatures below 65 degrees, depending on the
type of butterfly that you purchase. In the event of rain, you can
use a hanging cage that you can place your butterflies in and hang
them at your reception. Where you purchase your butterflies will
be able to help you out with what would be the best thing to do
and ideas on what to do.
As you can see, you have many options and ideas that you can do
with a butterfly release. They will add that unique and elegant
touch to your wedding, but beware, they just might steal the show.
