Butterfly Theme Weddings
Written by Terry Fluke

There are a wide assortment of flower picks in the shape of butterflies. These can easily be incorporated into the bouquets, altar flowers, flowers on the end of the pew, etc.

Stencil a butterfly on a plain white guest book!

Butterfly appliquιs that can be added to the wedding dress, veil, the flower girls dress, ring bearers pillow or Brides money purse!

For your attendants’ gifts, how about a beautiful piece of jewelry with butterflies on it.

Incorporate butterflies into the wedding cake. Have the decorator design butterflies out of the icing, or add some silk butterflies to the cake top. A small decorative cage may be placed on top of the cake and filled with flowers and a fluttering butterfly or two.

Serve butterfly shaped cookies and candies for those with a sweet tooth.

Then of course, there are live butterflies that are waiting to be a part of your special day. Display them a decorative lace cage beside the guest book or other place of honor during the wedding. Then take it to the reception. The flower girl could complete her outfit by carrying a small lace covered cage. Inside the decorative cage place fresh flowers and a butterfly. A beautiful alternative to dropping rose petals.

And last, but not least, after the ceremony, the wedding guest are each given a triangle shaped envelope. Inside the envelope is a safe and secure butterfly, just waiting to make its appearance at your wedding.

As the Bride and Groom make their way out of the chapel, the Pastor or someone special reads an appropriate prayer or “The Indian Legend”. When the prayer is finished the guests are instructed to open their envelopes.

As each envelope is opened, a beautiful butterfly flutters slowly through the air, entertaining you and your guest.

Family and loved ones will be delighted by these flying flowers as they glide along sparkling in the sunlight.

You have just created wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!
