Butterflies

Tuesday 5 July 2011


The Butterfly is a universal symbol of change, resurrection, transformation, celebration, young love and the soul. It is not surprising that releasing butterflies at weddings have become a popular practice.  Lately it has become more common at funerals.

As a symbol of transformation, the butterfly represents everlasting life, stemming from its various stages of life.
1. Birth (the caterpillar),
2. Death (the chrysalis), and finally,
3. Resurrection (the butterfly).

Butterflies can be released in bulk or separately. It can be a beautiful gesture to have each person attending release a butterfly from an envelope. Monarch Butterflies are the best butterflies to use as they are larger than most. Their style of flying tends to be more graceful and uncluttered.
