Enchanting Butterfly Theme Wedding

Theme weddings are a wonderful way to add personality to your wedding celebration. A wonderfully romantic wedding theme idea is the butterfly theme wedding. This feminine theme allows a bride to decorate with mystical beauty. Using homemade decorations and elaborating with pre-made decorating tools, the butterfly theme wedding can become an event to remember.

Brides who choose the butterfly theme should highlight the theme in subtle ways. Butterflies are so small in size that they cannot usually stand out alone. Brides must create captivating background decorations that allow the guests to focus on the butterflies used.

Tulle is a wonderful backdrop to use for this task. Draping white or pastel colored tulle around the ceremony location is a good place to start. After positioning the tulle, brides can add pre-bought butterflies to the tulle using sewing pins or glue. The more butterflies used, the more attention the tulle will get from guests. This decorative idea really helps set the tone of a butterfly theme wedding.

Brides can also make butterfly decorations for the ceremony or the reception themselves. Copper wire and colored net material are needed. You can buy colored netting at any fabric store. Brides should use a small bowl to trace a circle onto the netting, and then cut out the circle. Next, the net circle should be pinched in at the top and bottom until your fingers meet in the middle forming two “wings” of netting. Next, copper wire can be tied around the middle to secure the shape. Finally copper wire can be shaped to create two antennae. This beautiful decoration is extremely easy and low-cost to make.


Using small butterflies, brides can dress up their bouquets. By simply placing the butterflies into the bouquet, the bride is making a subtle decor improvement. Flower arrangements can also have butterflies placed into them to compliment the theme. Flowers such as daisies work wonderfully in the butterfly theme. Simple bouquets work best to not draw attention from butterfly detail.

It is wonderful if the bride’s dress has butterfly-embroidered detail on it, however it is not necessary, as she can use butterfly accessories. Bridesmaids’ can use a butterfly made of sheer material as a hair accessory as well. For special flair, brides can find rhinestone butterfly pins for the bridesmaids to pin on their gowns. Dresses for this theme should be flowing in style. Bare shouldered styles are wonderful as well. Colors that work well in this theme are pink, purple, blue, seafoam green, or yellow.

A magical way to end an outdoor ceremony of this theme is to use live butterflies. Brides can purchase live captured butterflies from specialty companies. At the end of the ceremony, a designated person can free the butterflies into the air around the couple. This detail is a wonderful way to celebrate life and love.

Brides can create wonderful memories with the butterfly theme wedding. Creating the theme via subtle details is a surefire way to success with this theme. With inspiring ideas and beautiful decorations, a butterfly theme wedding will enchant the couple as well as their guests.
