A wedding is not just a ceremony uniting
two individuals in marriage. It is an unforgettable occasion where you embark
on a new journey of life together with your partner. You don’t need a lot of
things to make your wedding ceremony special and memorable. A handful of
beautiful satin butterflies is enough to add a touch of elegance, flamboyance, style,
panache and sophistication to your wedding.
Colorful and delicate satin butterflies can
impart an exquisite romantic appeal to your wedding decorations. Use them to
adorn your bouquet, veil, tiara, wrist corsage and other wedding accessories. They
can also enhance the beauty of your wedding invitation cards, guestbook, place
cards, thank you cards and wedding favors.

| Satin butterflies |
Elegant satin butterflies can easily complete
the glorious splendor of your wedding decorations. You can use them to
embellish the tablecloths, chair covers, cardholders, centerpieces and unity
candle set. A satin butterfly is certainly not an ordinary embellishment -- it
is a magnificent piece of art with scintillating daintiness.
Handmade satin butterflies have their own
unique charm and are easy to make. To make a wedding butterfly, you need satin
fabric, a needle, thread, superglue, and a few decorative items like pearls,
beads, crystals and metallic wire. Instead of satin fabric, you can also use
satin ribbons.
If you are using satin fabric, cut a long
strip, which is at least 3 inches in width and 6 inches in length. This strip
will be used for making the wings of the satin butterfly. For small wings, the
strip should be 2 iches wide and 4 inches long. Fold the strips along the edges
to secure the raw borders. Iron the folds to prevent them from opening. With
satin ribbons, you don’t have to fold the edges. Just cut the pieces carefully
to make the wings the right size.
For the wing, fold the satin piece in half,
and secure the edges with the help of running stitch. Pull the thread and tie a
knot. Make the remaining three wings in the same manner. Take any scrap material
and cut a circle about ½-inch in diameter. Use superglue to paste all four
wings on the circle. Make sure that the two big wings are on the upper side of
the circle and the smaller wings are on the lower side. Decorate your wedding
butterfly with pearls, beads and crystals. Don’t forget to attach the metallic
wire antennae. You can create several satin butterflies in this manner, all in
keeping with your wedding theme.
