Expert Advice from wedding guru, Sharon Naylor

Answer:

Great question! For that information, you'll need to talk to the experts at the source where you get your butterflies, since different varieties of butterflies thrive better when released in morning coolness, in the afternoon, in the evening, etc. They'll also talk to you about the location where you'll release them, since they're going to be hungry after being cooped up in those little boxes for so long! Check out butterfly release companies -- and wedding coordinators and other experts in the wedding business can suggest their favorites -- to get the best advice for the types and colors of butterflies you want! The weather is also a big factor -- some companies won't ship to you if it's going to be too cold or too hot where you are.
