Wings of Love

Butterflies are a symbol of beauty, joy, change and new beginnings. They are one of nature's most graceful gifts and make the perfect addition to any wedding. Read below for ideas to incorporate butterflies into your wedding.

Setting the State

Set the stage for your butterfly theme wedding by sending your guests invitations with butterflies on them. The invitation is the first impression that guests will have about what type of wedding you are planning.

Butterfly Beauty Wedding Invitation

A faint design of flourishes and butterflies is featured on this shimmering ivory seal 'n send wedding invitation. Clear round seals are provided for securing. The invitation features a perforated response card printed with your return address on one side and your response wording on the other. Guests fill out the card, remove it and return it to you (be sure to place a stamp on the card for guests' convenience).

The Main Event

Continue to express your love for butterflies during the ceremony. Have your flower girl carry a flower adorned butterfly net instead of the traditional basket and let her wear a set of wings so she can pretend to flutter down the aisle.

Popular accents for your butterfly day include sparkling jewelry and hairpins for you, your bridesmaids and flower girl.

Use Butterfly Wedding Programs during your ceremony so guests can follow along as you are wed. Periwinkle butterflies flutter across this uniquely shaped program. The words "Our Wedding" are printed in beautiful, purple and white lettering.

Show your guests your eternal love for one another by lighting this delicately engraved white butterfly unity candle. For an enchanting display, set your candle and tapers on the silver-plated butterfly stands.

The Celebration

Share your love of butterflies by decorating tables with butterfly decorations and giving guests butterfly favors and gifts.
