The next thing to consider would be your invitations and color scheme. There are several beautiful love bird themed invitations and thank you cards that match almost every color palette. When deciding on the colors for your ceremony, almost any color will work with a love bird theme, however natural colors are beautiful. Greens, browns, gold tones, and blues carry out the nature feel of a love bird wedding. If you are choosing to go with a more contemporary love bird theme, you may want something a little bolder, or something as simple as the classic white.

Decorations are next on the checklist for your wedding. These can be as creative as you are willing to go. You can incorporate birds’ nests into your décor, artificial of course, if you really want a unique look. This can even be carried over into the reception by using small branches with bird nests as the center pieces for your tables. If you want decorations that are a little more traditional, ivy and green plants work wonderfully. You can also incorporate some flowers as well. Another great decoration for your wedding and reception alike are to have several bird figurines around, and you may want to consider adding a few bird houses in as well. You can find them in most any color. There is also the option of having real birds, in beautiful cages, at the reception. Place card holders for the reception are also a great way to tie in your theme. There are several bird nest place card holders available. You can even get creative with the flower girls basket and the ring barer pillow. The possibilities are endless.

Favors are another big part of any wedding. There are several neat items available for a love bird themed wedding. You could go with something like love nest soaps, which are small egg shaped soaps that are contained in an artificial birds nest. If you want something a little more traditional why not go with love bird salt and pepper shakers. Mints are a great option as well, they are available in several flavors, and you can get the mint tin customized with your wedding date and theme.

A unique wedding theme, like a butterfly wedding, can be a lot of fun if you do it correctly. If overdone a theme like this can become almost tacky. But if done with a touch of elegance and subtlety, the butterfly wedding can be one that you and your guests will remember forever.

Here are a few tips and a few points to think about when considering this wedding theme.

The butterfly wedding absolutely can be done with elegance. How to stay away from straying to the tacky side? Keep everything low key. Just because it is a butterfly wedding does not mean that every detail about the wedding must be butterfly oriented. The key is to choose a few elements that are related to your favorite kind of butterfly, and simply match the colors and flowers to this theme. Maybe add a tasteful wedding favor with a butterfly theme, or simply have butterfly wedding invitations and programs.

Choosing the butterfly as your wedding theme creates a great opportunity for gorgeous wedding colors. There are many species of butterfly. Pick one that appeals most to you and run with it. Most butterflies have rich and luscious colors which are great for pairing with any wedding color scheme. The black found in most butterfly species’ wings will be represented in the groom and groomsmen tuxedos. The rest of the colors can be made up in flower arrangements or the bridesmaid’s dresses.

Another great way to pick your flower arrangements for a butterfly wedding is to choose arrangements of flowers that your butterflies are most attracted to. This could be anything from wild flowers indigenous to the area you live in, to flowers of certain colors.

Looking for a great location for your butterfly wedding? Why not go for the obvious and opt for holding your ceremony at a butterfly garden? That would certainly match the theme! Not to mention no need to provide your flower arrangements since you will be in a garden. All you’ll need is your bridal bouquet, corsages for the bridesmaids, and boutonnieres for the groomsmen.

If you do not have a butterfly garden within reasonable distance, you can always go for the butterfly release. There are many online stores specializing in this service just for wedding ceremonies.

Whether you choose the butterfly garden, or the butterfly release, don’t overlook the great photo opportunities you will have with the butterfly wedding theme. Your wedding photographs are some of the most special photos will will ever cherish. Can you picture you wedding pictures complete with butterflies resting on your gorgeous wedding dress? That is almost fairytale!

However you choose to execute this unique wedding theme always remember to keep it simple and elegant and you cannot go wrong.
