Decorating Tips For A Butterfly Theme Wedding

There is a famous Native American saying that believes in the magic and splendor of a butterfly. If a person wants a wish to come true, then they must capture an illusive butterfly, whisper that wish to it, and release it to the heavens. A wedding theme, revolving around this saying and the graceful beauty of the butterfly, has become very popular.

Creating and maintaining the butterfly presence in every aspect of the wedding is very simple. It is as easy as choosing a classic image of a white butterfly, or any of the beautiful colors of the different kinds of butterflies that can be found around the world.

Start the butterfly theme at the very beginning with the wedding invitations. Finding one that features butterflies in a bridal store is not difficult. There are also classic invitation cards that can be adorned with butterfly pictures. You can use a cut out of a butterfly, fold it in half, and write your invitation inside.

To personalize the invitations even further, you can purchase or download a card making program on your computer and design a butterfly theme invitation of your own. A few well chosen decorative flowers and a sprinkle of glitters can bring it all together as you invite your guests to celebrate a beautiful butterfly wedding.

Continue with the butterfly theme by decorating the wedding party and the wedding dress with butterfly images. The bridesmaid dresses could have butterflies sewn on the hems, sleeves, or the necklines. The ushers can have buttoners with butterflies on the bottom. The most important person in the wedding, the bride, could have her whole dress be the epitome of a beautiful butterfly.


The butterfly can decorate very aspect of her cloths from the tiara and veil on her head, to the soles of her shoes, and the garter she wears until the throw-the-garter ceremony, can be adorned with the butterflies. There are appliqués that can be sewn on or some that you can simply iron on to attach to an existing article of clothing. The choices range from metallic thread of every color, miniature and large sizes, lace and cotton, open and side view. Incorporating the butterfly theme into the wedding party is limitless.

The same advice can be applied to decorating the wedding reception area. You can find a variety of butterfly or even bird cages and fill them with flowers. Then weave picks of butterflies inside among the flowers. Choose a flower like Aster, Butterfly Bush, Lilac, Gloriosa Daisy or a flower that is compatible with the butterfly of your choice.

You can take the butterfly theme wedding a step further by dedicating each table to a specific butterfly and have that table adorned with that butterflies’ image. The butterfly can decorate the vase or the container as well as becoming the centerpiece.

There is special lighting equipment that can be found to project the butterfly likeness on the walls and the ceiling of the reception room. The whole reception can be infused with butterflies by attaching a picture to the poles and doorways, as pew makers. There are butterfly candles and butterfly confetti that can bring the butterfly magic into every corner of the wedding reception.

The butterfly release ceremony that stands for reaching best wishes to the heavens is the best part of having a butterfly theme wedding. There are companies that will provide the butterflies for the special day. Sometime during the reception, the captured butterflies can be released into the air. The guests, as well as the newlyweds, will forever have that beautiful image of the liberated butterflies as part of their wedding memories.
