6 Colorful Tips For
Butterfly Wedding Themes

Butterfly wedding themes are the perfect option for a late spring or summer wedding. While you don't want to saturate your wedding with butterflies, you do want your guests to be aware of your wedding theme.

So, it is time to have some fun and plan your butterfly-themed wedding. Here are 6 ideas to get you started for butterfly wedding themes.

Start In The Beginning

The wedding invitations you choose can help set the tone for your wedding theme. Choose invitations that are decorated with butterflies (shown below) or even in the shape of a butterfly.

This will drop the hint about your theme to your guests. You can start even earlier if you are sending out save the dates.

Summer Colors

Bright blues, pinks and oranges are great summer wedding colors, and they go well with this type of theme. Use bright colors for your bridesmaid dresses and as accent colors for your wedding dress.

You can also use your chosen color for the groom and groomsmen vests.

An Exciting Finish To Your Ceremony

After you have said your vows and professed your love to one another, finish off your wedding ceremony with a beautiful butterfly release.

There are two options for this. You can have a mass release from one location, or you can hand out individual butterflies to your guests for release.

Many farms specialize in providing butterflies specifically for special event releases. Search for one that can deliver to you, and make sure you check references and get a guarantee from the vendor you choose to go with.

The Reception

There are several great ways to incorporate butterflies into your wedding reception. Starting with your table decorations, look for items like butterfly napkin holders as a way to incorporate them into your decorations.

For flower centerpieces use vases that have been painted with butterflies. You can also have your florist accent your bouquets and flower arrangements with small decorative butterflies.

For a unique option use a tree with decorative butterflies hanging off the branches as your centerpiece.

Don't Forget The Cake

Your cake will be one of the highlights of your reception. Have your baker or cake designer add fondant butterflies to your cake.

Not only will they help to carry on your theme, they will also add a splash of color.

Butterfly Knife and Server Set

You can also find items like your knife and server set decorated with butterflies (shown above).

Send Them Home With Butterflies

Options for wedding favors include filling butterfly-shaped boxes with candy. You can also find other traditional wedding favors decorated in butterflies like votives, bookmarks and photo frames.

Butterfly-shaped cookies are a fun alternative as well that your guests are sure to enjoy. MyWeddingFavors.com has a great selection of butterfly-themed wedding favors at great prices.
