Cultural Association of Butterflies

In ancient Greek culture, the butterfly represents the goddess, Psyche (which, in English, translates to “soul”). Psyche and Eros, the god of love, share a passionate bond with one another, thus linking the butterfly to romantic love.

What Can You Use Butterfly Releases For in California?

There are many events in California for which a butterfly release
is an appropriate and beautiful gesture.

They can be used for weddings,
when the butterfly would represent love and change, as two people joined together to start their new life together.

You can also choose to have a butterfly release during a
funeral or memorial service,
when the significant creatures would represent the soul, life and rebirth, showing guests that the departed has been on an incredible journey and made many changes throughout his or her life, and is now on to a new adventure.

Other types of events you may want to use a butterfly release for may include a milestone birthday or anniversary.

When Do You Release Butterflies For Your California Event?

That is totally up to you! You can release them whenever it feels right for your event. There are two types of releases: mass butterfly release and individual butterfly release. With a mass butterfly release, all of the butterflies are contained in one box for one or two people to let free. With an individual butterfly release, on the other hand, allows all of your guests to take part. Single butterflies are contained within decorative origami envelopes, and are to be released all at the same time when prompted. For a wedding, they can be released by the bride and groom, or they can be released at the end of the ceremony in lieu of throwing rice. For funeral or memorial services, butterflies can be set free at the grave site or at the end of the service. The exact time is up to you.

In some old Native American cultures, the butterfly is a messenger of sorts. It was said that when a person wanted to make a wish, he or she must first gently capture a butterfly in their hands. The wish was whispered to the butterfly and then it was released, left to silently carry the wish up to the Creator, who was the only one who could hear it. Only then would he be able to grant it.

Painted Lady Butterfly - Buy Butterflies to release from Cloverlawn Butterflies

Over in Ireland, butterflies not only represent souls, they are believed to be their carriers. Butterflies are the temporary transportation of the departed as they wait to pass through purgatory. White butterflies, in particular, carry the souls of deceased children, and it is prohibited to kill them.

Butterflies also have religious significance, particularly in Christianity, around the time of Easter. The butterfly represents resurrection, as the caterpillar “dies” in its chrysalis form and is resurrected as a butterfly when it emerges. This lifecycle represents the death of Christ and his resurrection from his tomb.

What Butterflies Are Used For Butterfly Releases In California?

At Cloverlawn Butterflies , California is one of our biggest customer bases we send butterflies for release to. In fact, California is one of our top client base where they love buying our Painted Lady butterflies for release. Painted Ladies can thrive west of the Continental Divide. They are a slow gliding social creature. They are also one of the larger butterflies making them easy for all to see and take joy in.

How Are Butterflies Shipped to California?

Butterflies are shipped to California to arrive the day before your event. They arrive in a box with an ice pack, which is meant to keep the butterflies in a dormant state. No matter which release type you have chosen, they are all sent in individual envelopes. This is for their own safety. It is advised that you replace the ice pack when your shipment arrives in order to keep them dormant until the day of your event.

How Does a Butterfly Release Work?

On the day of your event, you should give your butterflies at least thirty minutes to “wake up.” If you have chosen to do a mass release, you must first place your sleeping butterflies in the box before they have woken up (otherwise they may fly off on you). You can release the butterflies when you are ready. If you are holding an individual butterfly release, the butterflies will already be in their custom envelopes. Simply hand them to your guests with a friendly warning that those envelopes contain a live, delicate creature, and when the time is ready, give them a signal and let them send their butterflies out into the open.

Before you release your butterflies anywhere in California, however, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, always release them outside. Secondly, make sure that the weather is not too cold or too hot. They should be released well before darkness sets in and it should not be too windy or raining. With these things in mind, your release will be a successful, beautiful way to celebrate life, whether it is the joining of two souls in a wedding or the departure of a soul onto its next adventure.
