Have you thought of butterflies for your wedding? Yes, butterflies. Butterflies are being released at more and more weddings every day.

No, to the guests’ delight; they will fly all around, and some may even land on them.

Imagine, you have just said your vows and have been pronounced husband and wife. You walk outside and are handed a beautiful decorated box. You open the lid and dozens of butterflies emerge. Your guests all gasp and smile as the butterflies fly around and land on their clothing, corsages, or nearby flowers. What a sight to behold. Guests will be taking pictures of the butterflies that stick around to continue to celebrate your day.

Butterflies represent new life and hope. There is an old Indian legend that states if you catch a butterfly and whisper your wish to it, upon releasing the butterfly your wish will be granted.

When releasing individually, the number of butterflies can range from two butterflies, for just the bride and groom to release, or enough butterflies for each and every guest to release.

The number of butterflies for a mass release can range from a couple dozen on up to how spectacular you would like to make it. Generally, the bride and groom do the mass release, but there are no set rules.

For your reception, you can decorate with butterflies. The Painted Ladies look lovely in small terrarium centerpieces. You can use a mixture of butterflies in larger displays. A butterfly breeder can help talk over all of the different options you have with butterflies as a display.

Some butterflies require at least 70 degrees or higher for a successful release. Generally for this area, and depending on the temperatures, butterflies can be released starting in May and going thru till September.
