Butterfly Wedding Ideas ...
|
This whimsical creature was made to be wedding material. Butterflies are magical and beautiful; they represent love and a free spirit.
But enough talking, let's get to the details so we can get this party started!
Getting ready for the big day
So where do we start planning?Out of all the butterfly wedding ideas, your first approach to the theme should be the wedding invitation!
Use a butterfly wedding invitation to let your guest know about your big day celebration.
Setting the scene
One of the most important steps when having a butterfly wedding theme is to decide the colors of your celebration.
These magical creatures come in many shapes and colors, so it is really up to you to decide with which color palette
you want to work.
Just keep in mind that the butterfly presence at your celebration is what sets the theme.
You can have an easy palette, of two colors, maybe white and red, or white and gold, red and gold, etc.
Or you can use multiple colors; they look wonderful in an outdoors wedding.
So think about this first. Once you have decided your colors, we can move on.
Some butterfly wedding ideas:
* Have your flower girl wear some
butterfly wings
.
* Add some fake butterflies to your wedding bouquet.
* wear a butterfly garter, you can buy this or create one by adding a
butterfly charm
with hot glue to your garter set.
* use butterfly confetti on your tables.
* add a butterfly to the bow of your chair cover sash.
* have personalized cocktail napkins with a butterfly design.
* If you have an outdoors wedding, add butterflies to Chinese lanterns, or hang paper butterfly mobiles.
* If you are into arts and crafts, check out this page for some great butterfly wedding ideas. * If weather permits have a butterfly release.
The centerpiece
Most brides that decide to have a butterfly wedding theme like to have a simple centerpiece.Go ahead and have a flower arrangement but mix some paper or vellum butterflies in it.
If you want something a little bit more original just create a butterfly centerpiece by placing fake butterflies in picks.
Insert them in a vase or stick them to a foam base.
If your reception is at night time, you could use butterfly shaped floating candles inside a glass flat bowl.
Just use your imagination and include the butterfly in the centerpiece you like.
Your Wedding Cake
The traditional tiered cake never looked as beautiful as in a butterfly wedding theme. Have a butterfly design done over it, or use fake or sugar butterflies in the different tiers.
Another great butterfly wedding idea that brides are going with very happily is the cupcake tree.
So if you decide to go with cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake, play with the frosting colors to go with the theme,
and decorate them with butterflies.
And for your guest...
The favors designed for this theme are as lovely as the theme itself.
These are only some of the options:
