Butterfly release for New York weddings
A butterfly release for your New York wedding can give the couple a shared ceremony moment or invite selected guests to take part. We sell Painted Lady butterflies in wedding packages with individual envelopes and release box options. Clearwater Butterfly is based in Chuluota, Florida; contact us with your destination and wedding date to confirm availability.
Tell us the exact New York location, including the ZIP code. A wedding in New York City and one elsewhere in the state need an inquiry tied to the actual receiving address and release venue. The place on your invitation may not be where someone will receive the butterflies.
Choose how your wedding butterfly release will work
Start with the people you want involved. A couple-led release keeps the focus on the two of you. Individual envelopes let you give parents, attendants or other guests a part in the ceremony. Neither approach requires you to match the number of butterflies to every person attending the reception.
Our wedding package collection includes different quantities and presentation choices. Use it to compare the ceremony you want with the package you are considering.
Wedding Package #1 contains 36 Painted Ladies with individual envelope or release box options. It is a starting point if you are comparing formats before committing to a larger quantity.
For individual participation, Wedding Package #2 contains 50 Painted Ladies in individual envelopes with color and personalized inscription choices. Review the current product options together before ordering, including the spelling of names and the wording you want on the envelopes.
If two release boxes suit your ceremony, Wedding Package #5 contains 100 Painted Ladies in two boxes. Decide who will hold each box and whether both people can hear the officiant’s cue. Current product pages show pricing; discuss delivery and selected options when reviewing the order total.
Give your planner one complete set of details
Planning from outside New York? Give one person the complete order details so relatives and vendors do not work from different versions. Share this checklist with them:
- Record the full wedding venue address and ZIP code, not only its event name.
- Identify the proposed outdoor release space and ask the venue for permission.
- Write down the ceremony time and where the release falls in the running order.
- Give the receiving person’s name and address if delivery would go somewhere else.
- Ask that person to confirm they can receive the shipment and follow the supplied instructions.
- Keep the package choice and any personalized wording with the same order information.
A hotel reservation alone does not mean its staff have agreed to receive live butterflies. If you want to use a hotel or venue address, speak to the person responsible for deliveries before putting that address on the order. Give them your name as it appears on the booking so they can identify the recipient.
Keep venue permission separate from shipment approval
Ask about the exact outdoor space, even if the venue has already approved your ceremony decorations. A room booking or permission for photographs does not establish permission for a live release.
Plan an outdoor, daylight release and ask us about conditions for your proposed time. For a New York City-area ceremony, the National Weather Service New York office provides forecasts and alerts. Elsewhere in the state, use the site’s city or ZIP-code search for your venue rather than relying on the city forecast. If the ceremony moves indoors, keep a non-release ceremony option in the running order rather than assuming the butterflies can be released inside.
New York wedding questions
Do you mean New York City or New York State?
We welcome inquiries for New York weddings using the exact destination. Send the city or town, full address and ZIP code so the conversation covers your venue, rather than assuming every New York order is for the city.
Should all our guests receive an envelope?
Only if that is the ceremony you want. You can choose a smaller group of participants while other guests watch. Count the intended participants before comparing individual-envelope quantities.
Can our wedding planner receive the order?
Discuss the proposed arrangement with us and with your planner. Confirm the receiving address and the person responsible for the shipment. Your planner should have the order instructions, not just the ceremony schedule.
How do we begin choosing a package?
Pick individual participation or a release box, then note your preferred quantity. Send us your wedding details with that preference and any receiving questions before finalizing the purchase.
