A very popular activity for today’s weddings is to have a butterfly release at your wedding. According to Native America legend, when a butterfly is caught and a wish is whispered to it, when released the Great Spirit will grant your wish. There are several butterfly farms that can provide you these beautiful creatures at your wedding.

With thousands of butterfly species how do you choose? A very popular type chosen is the beautiful monarch. They are a good size and are therefore easy to see. They are sociable and will delight and entertain guests as they flit gracefully about the venue.

Another popular species is the Painted Lady butterfly. They are beautifully marked with mauve, gold and black. The are also curious and friendly. Finally the Swallowtail is also a fashionable species for a bridal theme. They are exquisite and as inquisitive and as elegant as the other varieties.

Butterflies can be positioned on the bride’s bouquet or the wedding dress for photographs. Butterflies are cold-blooded so if put in a cooler for 15-20 minutes prior to the service their responses will slow and but they will become active again in less than a minute so take your pictures quickly.

There are several methods that the bridal couple can choose for releasing these creatures; one is the release cage which allows them to be freed quickly by separating the ribbons at the top to open the enclosure. This style enclosure can hold 96 beautiful butterflies.

A second style is boxes in small, medium and large holding one to four dozen respectively. When the tops are unfastened the butterflies are released simultaneously.

The last style is a larger basket covered with lovely white netting complete with delicate lace appliques throughout. These baskets come in three different sizes and can hold four, five, or eight dozen butterflies.

A butterfly release at your wedding will leave guests with a cherished, lasting memory of an amazing Butterfly Wedding.
