Butterfly releases for weddings

Now is the time for brides to consider a butterfly release at their upcoming weddings! As a beautiful alternative to throwing rice or birdseed, releasing balloons, or blowing bubbles, a butterfly release will make your special day memorable. If the wedding is planned for the spring, summer, or fall months, the couple will be able to release butterflies because the temperatures will be warm enough for them to fly. An experienced butterfly breeder can be very helpful in assisting the couple to insure a perfect release. Butterflies are usually released following the wedding ceremony. The butterflies can either be passed out to the guests and/or members of the wedding party to be released individually from their protective envelopes or they can be released all at one time from a release cage. Either way, it is a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of a new life together for the wedding couple.

Many churches are now releasing butterflies following their Easter services, also. Butterflies are symbolic of resurrection, new life and new beginnings and are perfect for the Easter season. Some church groups actually raise butterflies as part of their Easter curriculum. What a joyous occasion it is on a bright Easter morning to see dozens of colorful butterflies fluttering skyward!

First butterfly of the season!

Finally! We have had a few days of spring-like warmth after a long and cold winter. Working out in the yard two days ago, I saw the first butterfly of the season...a Cloudless Sulphur. It was fluttering around, looking for nectar sources, which are few and far between so early in the season. There aren't even any dandelions popping up yet. I saw it land briefly on one of the early-blooming daffodils, but they don't seem to hold much nectar, so it flew off quickly. All we need is a little more warmth and some sunny days and we'll be seeing more early-appearing butterflies.

Soon I will be raising butterflies for release at weddings, memorials, parties, and other outdoor special events! For more information of photos of butterflies, please see my website: www.socialbtrflies.com.
