The monarchs are hatched
and raised in a "butterfly garden collective" on the windward
side of Oahu at Island Rhythms' butterfly farm. Through
their business venture, Island Rhythms has been successful
at helping to replenishing the once nearly extinct monarch
butterfly on the island of Oahu. By ordering the butterfly
release for your ceremony, you are actually helping to ensure
the efforts of increasing the population of these beautiful
creatures.
Island Rhythms' butterflies are much more tame than wild
butterflies as they are raised in captivity instead of
in the wild, it is common that they will land on the bouquet
for a moment enhancing the photography and delighting
the guests at your ceremony.
"Butterflies are a joyous symbol of life, transformation,
and the essence of freedom. In many cultures, it is believed
that butterflies serve as messengers of the soul. Since
they make no sound, a whispered wish to a butterfly means
that it will be carried to the heavens and instantly granted."
-- Island Rhythms
Ceremonial White
Dove Release
The white dove is a symbol
of Peace and Love. The release of two doves, one for the bride
and one for the groom signifies the commitment of the couple
for life, much like the Doves that mate for life.
The mass dove release represent your
dreams and hopes for the future and friends and family who
will accompany your journey together!
