CommentAuthorDrunchPunk
Butterfly releases? Never heard of one! Not sure if they'd be possible.. with dove releases, don't the doves come back?? A butterfly release bod would have to find a new set every time!
But I've seen a lot of butterfly related wedding stuff, wouldn't be hard to incorporate butterflies into stationery, favours etc.

I'm having butterflies hun, got a pic of a cup cake wrap on my profile, you'll love it!! I think butterfly releases sound gorgeous, but I heard they sometimes die in the box :{ xx

CommentAuthormrsr2b

CommentAuthorNuttytart

I am going to a wedding in may where the theme is butterflies .......i think its a lovely idea ......so gentle and pretty i think you can get butterfly confetti would be lovely to put into cones and hand out to guests
I'm having butterflies as my theme but it's for my grandad, been obsessed with them since he died. butterflies have a special link with the spirits apparently. x
I can't believe we've actually done it
I am now Mrs Limara Tester
Im having butterflies as my theme. Have also seen butterfly releases and very interested but can only see american websites, so my h2b said instead of paying a fortune why dont we just catch them a couple days before hand! So im giving him that job, lol, guna get a nice cage to put them in too! My mum thinks its a stupid idea tho so got to convince her! xx

I have also ordered hand made butterfly name card holders they are not here yet as they need to be hand made I cant wait to see them afterwards thye can be used as wee photo holders. xx

I'm going to be having some butterflies on my dress, but they arent the theme of the day. My mum makes some lovely butterflies out of silk cotton, so going to sew some into the design of my dress. xx
CommentAuthormrsr2b
hiya everyone i have done quite alot of research on butterfly releases and so far most of the people that do it only breed them for releases.. it is cruel to do it in the winter, as thats not when butterflies are about... so the chances of having a breeder that will do it in winter is rare, in the boxes that u get them in it is also very rare that they die, altho there is a couple might so they send xtras... plus the butterflies when released just go on and live their normal life in the world.. :D as it is summerish. lol xx

Anyone know where to buy frozen butterflies in the uk ? X
CommentAuthorLynD
if you google butterfly releases uk then it comes up with a few sites - expensive though £150 odd for 20 butterflies..
CommentAuthorAna40
I think butterflys are pretty and they signify new beginnings. I can see the attraction of a butterfly release but i would worry about them in little boxes just for my pleasure. Kayleigh, out of interest, why would you want a frozen butterfly? X
CommentAuthorMinimalistSpouse
Butterflies are bred to be released...not necessarily a bad thing to release native species as our nations lepidoptera are facing drastic declines. However, I do understand those who have an ethical issue with containing butterflies in boxes, even if in a state of torpor. I'd be interested to find out what species they release!
Best thing you can do is read up about it and make sure the company is reputable.
@Mrsr2b - the handmade items website has some gorgeous butterfly cake decorations and have you seen the luly yang butterfly dress?
I was debating having a shoulder streamer dress and sewing hundreds of 3d artificial butterflies on to the streamer by hand, however I suspect this would weigh it down too much.
CommentAuthorFernP61
My two flower girls have dresses from bhs and they have butterflies on the chest bit so i have bought my lil girl ivory shoes with crystal butterflies on the side and hair clips, im also having butterflies in my fish bowls on the tables, and maybe one or two in my bouquet my two bms are having smaller versions of my flowers with extra butterflies in too i love butterflies x
CommentAuthorRachaelC80
I had Butterfly stuff at my Wedding!! I stitched material Butterfly's to organza bags and put confetti in them. I used card Butterfly's for the front of the OoS. And, my little BM's had Butterfly wands, which I made!!

Unless I want to drown a butterfly; don't think I can incorporate them into my aquatic theme ;) They are a lovely idea though; there are some great suppliers who release doves, butterflies e.t.c; you just need to look around :)
