I got an email recently from a reader who wanted to know if a butterfly theme can work for a fall wedding. Now, I am a firm believer that your wedding should work for you first – not the season – but when it comes to your budget – there are many reasons why you would want to stick with a theme that uses seasonal colors, flowers etc. So, I decided to give it some thought.

Generally when you think of a butterfly wedding, you think of pastel colors, spring flowers, etc. So, who do you make this work for fall? MONARCHS!! Yes, those lovely orange and black winged butterflies! Their orange coloring makes them perfect for a fall wedding because they will match the colors that are in season for this time of year!

SO, this will be our theme for the next little while. I will spend some time looking for resources from decor to wedding invitations online featuring monarchs. So, if you are planning a fall butterfly wedding, bookmark our blog and check back often:)

(PS – the butterfly invitation pictured below is from a great little site that carries a wonderful selection of wedding invitations online in every price range. This style is elegant yet simple enough to work for a fall or spring wedding!)
