What could be more beautiful and feminine than a butterfly? Their graceful nature and pretty colors make butterflies one of the most special motifs to use for a wedding. These are some marvelous butterfly decorations which would add a touch of whimsy to any wedding.
The neat thing about using butterflies as a wedding decoration is that they are small and pretty. They can be used sparingly for one or two surprise details, or as a unifying theme throughout your wedding. A lovely place to begin is with wedding stationery which is either stamped or embossed with a butterfly in flight. It would look lovely done in a either dark pink or purple against a paper in a paler shade of the same color for a soft tonal effect.
All little girls love butterflies, so if you use butterflies in only one part of your wedding, let it be the flower girl’s attire. Start with butterfly motif flower girl jewelry. A dainty pendant featuring a sparkling crystal butterfly would be the ideal jewelry gift for a flower girl of any age. Next, there is her dress. A white organza flower girl dress can be embellished by stitching on small lace appliques in the shape of butterflies. Let them be more heavy near the hem of the gown, and scattered more lightly towards the top of the dress so it looks like they are taking flight. If you really want to go all out with the theme, use a flower girl dress in a solid color organza, and let your little one prance down the aisle wearing a set of beautiful butterfly wings.
Butterflies and flowers go hand in hand, so the wedding flowers would be a natural next place to decorate with butterflies. Colorful mixed bouquets would be even more special with a few butterflies on long wires tucked in between the flowers so they appear to be perched on the blossoms. Choose from silk, feather, or even enamel butterflies in an array of colors. To make a very bold statement, create a bridal bouquet entirely out of feather and silk butterflies, formed into a nosegay shape. If this feels like too much of a good thing for the bride, a scaled down version would be absolutely adorable for the flower girl and junior bridesmaids.
Rather than the standard white place cards, why not use die cut butterfly cards to graciously welcome guests to their seats at the reception? Simply pen the name of each guest onto a piece of heavy card stock in a butterfly shape, cut a slit into it, and perch it gracefully onto the rim of a wineglass at each place setting. As a great tie in, the same shaped paper could be used for the escort cards. Create a butterfly tree with the name and table numbers suspended from branches. This would be an equally lovely idea for an indoor or an outdoor reception.
The final wedding element to decorate with butterflies is the wedding cake. A scattering of the graceful winged creatures going up the tiers of the cake would be a gorgeous sweet ending to any wedding. The butterfly theme is so elegant and whimsical that it is sure to add a touch of magic to your wedding.

DESIGN COMPANY FEATURED IN “ORLANDO SENTINEL” NEWS PIECE
Bugs-n-Blooms Helps Parents Create Amazing Nurseries on a Budget
April 13, 2010 – Prosper, Texas – Bugs-n-Blooms, the premiere retailer of butterfly nursery decorations, has recently been featured in an Orlando Sentinel article aimed at helping parents decorate nurseries on a budget.
 Although it costs between $2,000-$6,000 to outfit the average nursery, savvy parents can save thousands by using online retailers to find great deals on everything from basinets and cribs to nylon butterfly decorations. Jennifer De Vol, owner of Bugs-n-Blooms, is also happy to assist parents as they choose the perfect decor accents.
“Decals from Bugs-n-Blooms.com add inexpensive, and removable, accents to infant and toddler rooms,” the Orlando Sentinel article reads. The butterfly decorations (and almost all other wall accents) purchased from Bugs-n-Blooms are easily removed from nursery walls, enabling the nursery to grow with the child.
Of course, this isn’t DeVol’s first time making major news. Her decorations have been wildly popular with parents (celebrity and otherwise) ever since she launched her company. Products from Bugs-n-Blooms have also been featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and in a March issue of OK! Magazine. For parents looking for something specific, DeVol’s team can also create custom designs.

Pink. Floaty. Sparkly. Butterflies.
There is absolutely NOTHING there that is not to love!
“Meet Bugs-n-Blooms, a darling little e-boutique of whimsical flutterbys and girly-bugs. When I saw them in a gift shop years ago. I bought some lovely lavender and green ones on the spot, (a baby gift). Years later again for my neice’s “Big Girl Room” (pink and black it was, so the ladybugs and dragonflies in varying sizes were just the ticket ). And just this week a few sparkly friends are on their way to bless a wee one just about to make her arrival in the world.
If I could come up with a valid excuse, I’d buy some for myself, too. *sigh*
Such is the life of a mom of boys!
Dragonflies, bumblebees, daisies, butterflies in an array of on-trend colors, glitter, fur and sequins (again, isn’t everything in that sentence just delish?) there’s a bug for every little bloom! Oh, and they have wings and tutus, too.”
Oh to be five again!

Butterflies signify peace and tranquility, leaving children and adults in awe of their beauty–why not use them to accessorize and brighten up a room or event? There are many ideas for decorating with nylon butterflies and there are tons of wonderful things you can do with them to add flair to your home or any place you want to have a peaceful setting.
Sprucing up your living space is possible without spending a lot of money. Adding one or two things can create a drastic change, particularly in a small space like the bathroom. A few nylon butterflies can transform your private space into a serene area to take a long bubble bath. Because they are bendable, nylon butterflies can be affixed to the wall, put on a shelf, or hung for a dramatic and calming affect.
How about using the crystal beaded butterflies for your dining area? Are you planning a dinner party? A table setting with soft pastel colors and mini butterflies for napkin holders changes your plain table into a fun place to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends. You can dangle a butterfly or two from a ceiling fan, chandelier, or even the ceiling to add an extra special touch to the room.
Are you searching for a great party theme? The handmade decorations with sequins and matching glitter will bring life to any baby shower, wedding shower, or even a birthday party. Decorating can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like. How about butterflies on the cake to match the hanging decorations?
When considering decorating with butterflies, don’t leave out the little boys. No room with an outdoor theme would be complete without the beautiful little bendable creatures. With so many different colors to choose from, the room won’t be too “girly” for your little man.
With Mother’s Day coming soon, why not fix breakfast for mom and add little butterflies to the breakfast tray? Your mom will feel extra special that you took the time to give her a little something that she will remember. It does not matter how young or how old you are, because the charm of butterflies is timeless. Who doesn’t love the beauty and serenity of a butterfly in spring?
Nylon butterflies can be used for decorating throughout the home as well as parties, but they also make special gifts. For the mom-to-be this can be an addition or inspiration for a nursery idea. For grandma this can be a gift that she will never forget. No matter how you plan on using these sparkly little bugs, they will create a lasting impression without breaking your budget.
