Considering a "Butterfly Release" at your ceremony?

According to the North American Butterfly Association,

"There's No Need to Release Butterflies -- They're Already Free!"

Butterflies raised by unregulated commercial interests may spread diseases and parasites to wild populations, with devastating results. Often, butterflies are released great distances from their points of origin, resulting in inappropriate genetic mixing of different populations when the same species is locally present. When it is not, a non-native species is being introduced in the area of release. At best, this confuses studies of butterfly distribution and migration; at worst, it may result in deleterious changes to the local ecology. The Hollywood Jurassic park message, "Don't fool with Mother Nature," has scientific foundations.

If your heart is still set on a release, I ask that you please consider a "trained dove release" instead, or contact me for a referral to a safer, more eco-consious butterfly company. Thank you!

Buying local is another great way to save money on your wedding. Aside from boosting your local economy, you're also creating a smaller carbon footprint: two things that I'm very passionate about.
