How To Decorate Your Wedding With Butterflies

Butterfly Wedding

Butterfly Wedding

When the word butterfly comes to mind you may think of the the beauty that the spring season brings.  What about weddings? Many couples do incorporate butterflies into their wedding ceremony rather than the traditional throwing of rice.

Most of the weddings that include butterflies are usually done in the outdoors during the warmer months.  Some types of weddings that do butterfly releases include:

  • Hawaiian weddings
  • Summer Weddings
  • Spring Weddings
  • Butterfly Themed weddings
  • Environmentally friendly weddings

But why butterflies?  Many couples choose to include butterflies into their ceremony because they represent a season of change -  perfect for a couple beginning their new lives together as husband and wife.  Not only does the symbolism play an important role in butterfly weddings but they also add a very colorful and beautiful touch to a ceremony.

While many of us may think that the release of butterflies is an elegant idea for a wedding; environmentalists and scientists have debated whether the release of butterflies are healthy or not.   The Daily Green has a great article that discusses the pros and cons of this ritual that you may find very interesting.
