A butterfly wedding is a great way to differentiate your wedding theme from other typical themes. However, as much as you like the idea and the way it sounds you may have no idea how to actually carry it out; fortunately, there are some butterfly wedding decoration ideas to help you create the butterfly wedding of your dreams.
The first suggestion is to choose a particular butterfly to base the wedding decorations around, for example a Monarch or another butterfly species you like. That way, you have a basis for choosing your wedding colors as well. If you want a butterfly wedding and you also know certain colors you prefer, then you should find a butterfly that also has those colors in order to incorporate the colors and butterfly in your wedding.
Whatever butterfly you choose you will be able to buy multiples of them stuck onto wires so you can use them in flower arrangements. This will help carry the butterfly theme throughout the wedding and reception. Butterfly confetti is also a good idea for decorating tables and serving areas as are floating butterfly candles, and place settings made of butterflies. You may also buy white fabric with a white butterfly woven design to make napkins and tablecloths. Several butterfly cages should be purchased, spray painted white or silver, and then filled with several of the preferred butterflies. Then these cages may be placed throughout the reception hall to really carry the butterfly wedding theme home. Following these suggestions will keep the butterfly wedding theme elegant and beautiful.
The cake should also incorporate butterflies. A good example would be a tall white cake made of several layers and decorated with white icing or white chocolate butterflies placed strategically on the cake. You could have butterflies mad of colored icing as well if you want a cake with a little more pizzas that incorporates your butterfly wedding colors as well.
Also, you will want to incorporate butterfly themed invitations, thank you cards, and the like in your butterfly wedding plans. Fortunately, finding butterfly wedding invitations is really easy so you will have a variety of styles and sizes to pick from. Finally, the butterfly wedding theme should be carried through all the way to the guest favors. Cookies or chocolates may be made in the shape or mold of a butterfly and then wrapped up or boxed in an elegant way.
Finally, butterflies don’t have to be reserved for decorations and invitations only, but should be incorporated in the wedding clothes as well. The wedding dress can easily have butterfly appliqués attached if it is not purchased with butterflies already. Or, the bride can have a tiara made of butterflies to tie in the butterfly wedding theme. The bridesmaids’ dresses can also incorporate the butterfly theme with the butterfly colors chosen for the wedding as well as appliqués of butterflies sewn around the neckline, hem or sleeves.
There are many ways you can incorporate these beautiful creatures in your wedding, you simply need to be creative, evaluate the options, and then utilize the ideas and decorations that best reflect your visions of your butterfly wedding.
