Butterfly Releases

Butterfly Releases offer the viewer the chance to see beauty in
flight. The viewers have the opportunity to experience the
beauty of one of nature’s most symbolic and beautiful creations.

The butterfly symbolizes new beginnings and rebirths. What
better way to celebrate the beginning of a new life together
than with the releasing of butterflies at your wedding. There is
an old Indian legend that tells the story of why the butterfly
was created. It is often read at butterfly releases as the
guests make a wish and release their butterflies. Butterfly
Releases are both magical and momentous. Every release is unique
and special just as every wedding, every anniversary, every
birthday, and every moment of our life is unique and special.
Each of us has been given a beautiful gift of life that we must
take the opportunity to experience and enjoy.

Butterflies can be released from the shipping envelopes they
arrive in, with every guest having their own butterfly or with
only the wedding party having their own release envelope. You
may also choose to have a mass release with all of the
butterflies placed in one container. Either option is special
depending on the effect you are trying to achieve.

Butterflies should only be released outside during daylight
hours on a sunny or overcast (not rainy) day with a temperature
above 65 - 70 degrees. The butterflies should be set free no later
than two hours before sunset. This allows the butterflies time
to eat and find a hiding place for the night. Releases should be
held in areas protected from the wind or the butterflies will
quickly disappear. A warm, sunny flower filled area or garden is
best. No matter how you choose to release your butterflies, a
butterfly release is a beautiful, unusual, and exciting way to
celebrate your new life together.

releasing butterflies is a wonderful way to add a special touch

memories and can become a tradition that is passed down from

Why Should You Create A Butterfly Garden

Have you noticed you do not see as many butterflies as you once did? It is sad that we do not see as many butterflies as we might like. You can change that by planting a butterfly garden. There are many reasons that we don’t see many butterflies. One is the destruction of their habitat. Every day more and more spaces of open land are being used to build houses, apartments, and businesses. When the woods and fields are cleared, there is no place for butterflies to live and raise their young. Butterflies are especially affected by land development. Because butterflies and their caterpillars require specific kinds of plants and habitats, land development has caused their numbers to drop. One species, the Xerces Blue, has already become extinct through alteration of its habitat. Many more are on the threatened and endangered species lists. Another reason for the decline in butterfly populations is the wide use of pesticides. Farmers use them to control the insects that threaten to destroy their means of making money. Homeowners use them to prevent the destruction of their homes from termites and the destruction of their yards from the pests that eat their flowers, grass and shrubbery. Many places do widespread spraying to kill disease-bearing mosquitoes. These pesticides, while not targeted at butterflies, do kill butterflies, too. We need insects. Many plants depend on insects to distribute their pollen from one flower to the other. We would have no vegetables, or pretty flowers to enjoy for that matter, if itwere not for the insects that pollinate them. Butterflies are important plant pollinators. They, as well as other insects also fill an important role in the food chain. Many birds depend on insects for food. So construct a butterfly garden and create the habitat necessary to help preserve these beautiful creatures. Remember, don't use pesticides.
