Butterfly Wedding Photo Shoot at Country Weddings Italy

I'm on a roll, as they say! This morning, before I go and hop on a plane to the UK,  I thought I'd show you all these butterfly-themed wedding venue decoration items, all designed and made by Country Weddings Italy. We can come up with ideas for most themes and colours for our guests, or follow ideas and preferences the couple already has, either making the items, or sourcing them on the market. Thanks to Fabrizio for the photos, and the patience!

Butterfly Wedding Inspirations at Country Weddings Italy

www.countryweddingsitaly.com

OK, we admit it. We have a thing about butterflies here at Country Weddings Italy. We have even chosen a butterfly to sit on the home page of our new website, which is due to go online any day now. (Yippee!!). The photo above is a sneak preview....

I have my own reasons for loving butterflies, and have even been known to shed a tear when I see one, as I find them so spiritual, but they truly are the most marvellous, gorgeous creatures. With so much ugliness in the world, they can become a magnificent theme or item at a wedding, bound to wow your guests and carry a beautiful, special meaning too: Butterflies symbolize new life, new beginnings and a transformation from old to new. This is highly symbolic of marriage; the joining of two lives to create a new one.

Butterflies are all around in the Italian countryside in Spring and Summer months, but I sometimes catch a glimpse of them in Autumn and Winter too in my garden. The various colours are amazing, and I always gaze in wonder at how audacious butterflies are; they take their time and visit all the flowers in the garden, not scared off by humans, dogs or loud noises.

We've put together a few inspiration boards to show you some of the many and original ways that butterflies can be incorporated into your wedding, and we've done a photo-shoot too, of Country Weddings Italy-created wedding decor items. More of that later this afternoon. In the meantime take a look at these photos and start dreaming of filling your wedding venue in Italy with these gorgeous items.
