Butterflys

My 1st request is to search for some Butterfly wedding ideas!

Invites and Thank Yous


There are a bunch of websites offering "luxury butterfly invitations" and  "Handmade crystal butterfly invites" but I really don't think you want to pay $5 and invite for your wedding especially if its a big one.

I recommend picking up a Wilton Wedding Invitation Kit in a floral or plan style (between $20-30 for a fifty pack) and then heading over to your local scrapbook store or Michaels to pick up some butterfly bling. A simple way I would butterfly it up would be to add a butterfly embellishment either to the inside of the invite or on the outside on top of the seam where to invite opens (or if you choose a pack with a ribbon on the ribbon).

The Wedding Party and Ceremony
If you search the web enough you will find a bunch of butterfly themed wedding dresses, and bridesmaid dresses so it really depends on how far you want to go. Green Dresses with Butterfly wings, butterfly Boutonniere , or whatever your heart desires. I recommend tiny glimpses of the theme during the ceremony itself, Have your flower girl toss colorful paper cut outs of butterflies instead of flowers, have the ring bearers cushion be a butterfly stuffed animal, have the bridesmaids have bouquets of butterflies rather than flowers, have shinny butterfly clips holding your hair back.

Reception Locations 
You really can glam up any location to fit your theme with Butterfly themed center pieces and decorations, but lets say you want to go all out a few of my favorite butterfly picks include contacting your local botanical garden to see if they have wedding packages. The highest rated butterfly locations include The Missouri Botanical Garden Butterfly House, The Original Butterfly house on Mackinac Island and The Chicago Botanical Gardens.

Favors
Butterfly favors seem to come in all shapes and sizes, from fun butterfly shaped candies to elegant butterfly decorated candles. It really depends on you and your grooms temperament towards a traditional wedding or a fun social gathering or somewhere in between. My favorite includes these gorgeous little boxes.


Here is a Butterfly Mash Up!

Now that we have it all planned out, how much would this all be for a wedding of 120?
Only About $7,172!!

Thank you so much for the request! I hope this helped!
