Where to Find Exotic Butterflies for Your Wedding

The majestic d�©cor and regal ambiance of a beautiful wedding can continue with the final release of exotic butterflies. Trends in the wedding industry have long included the use of rice, confetti, balloons, and even doves released on behalf of the wedding couple, or by each guest. One contemporary approach may honor the moment better with the release of exotic butterflies!

Exotic butterflies range from a variety of beautiful wing span designs, colors, and sizes. The best choice of butterflies at your wedding or event would be a Monarch or Painted Lady. These are found fully-grown, and have an average wing span of 4 Ã?½” for the Monarch, and 2 Ã?½” for the Painted Lady. The Monarch is usually found in a beautiful array of bright orange, black, and deep red colors. The Painted Lady has a more speckled effect, and is smaller in size.

Monarch butterflies range in price from $80-$95 per dozen from most vendors, depending on quantity. Minimum quantities are usually 1-2 dozen. Painted Lady butterflies range in price from $65-$85 per dozen from most vendors. Do keep in mind that they are significantly smaller than the Monarch. The site Amazing Butterflies offers both varieties delivered to many areas in North America. Other sites such as Butterfly-kisses.com offers 100 Painted Ladies for a stock price of $295.

Exotic butterflies can be purchased by the dozen; they are usually shipped overnight the day before your event, carefully sealed in individually packed cardboard boxes. Glass and triangular boxes are a popular addition, as the butterflies can be showcased before their release. If you purchase multiple types or in bulk, each guest may even take part in releasing their own ‘signature’ butterfly! Beautiful display cages may offer a memorable centerpiece for any wedding or special event.

Some exotic butterfly vendors offer individual baskets; these are carefully crafted boxes designed to make it the release easy and well-coordinated. Enhancing a special occasion with exotic butterflies will create a memorable and unique experience for everyone involved; the magnificent displays and timed release will create a captivating moment.

Exotic butterflies are usually cultivated and grown on farms and special habitats from pods. From the caterpillar, to the breathtaking emergence from the cocoon, each butterfly is tended to with care and diligence. Monarch butterflies in particular are experiencing a reduction in species due to inadequate survival environments. Monarch butterflies often find a shortage of Milkweed, their vital nutrition source, and cannot grow at all in freezing temperatures. Butterfly habitats have been created to preserve and cultivate this species in particular.

Plan a beautiful Butterfly Extravaganza for your next wedding, reception, or formal event. Incorporate it into your event’s theme, and your guests and participants will surely remember the experience. Do remember to take care when handling and distributing your exotic butterflies, and prepare for the spectacular release!
