~*~Is anyone having butterflies or planes as a theme or involved in their plans~*~

Im having a little toy plane on my cake for my o/h! Thats about it tho.

I did see a airplane themed wedding in a mag once where they had plane tickets as invitations and airport names as table names. You could get luggage tags as favours.

hth

Think i've decided on the favours, luggage tags in the shape of planes for the men and butterflies for the women.

We're having an RAF and Top Gun theme ?

Bailey Wailey is having a butterfly theme and I've made her flowergirl hairbands and wands which feature butterflies with Swarovski Crystals. I'm sure she will pop on here at some point.

Curly I remember talking to ages ago about tables being named after planes. If I remember right isn't your OH in the RAF or was.

OH's dad is ex RAF, and im being dragged down to the air tatoo this year lol. but im using it as a chance to get things for OH like cuflinks and see if i can find anything i can use ?

Spitfires featured in our wedding. One bloody big one actually! But we also had spit fire tie pins and the mens favours were polygliders...

Good luck with your wedding plans

My friend had her reception in Airport House in croydon about 7 years ago! She had her tables named after planes! And had a picture of that plane on it's table number stand!

There are a couple of butterly weddings on here i think! Im not so sure about them!

I'm doing a butterfly wedding at the moment - just making it now actually.. hand-tied posy of hot pink vintage style roses, vanda orchids, blue and hot pink sweetpeas tied with royal blue ribbon and pink sparkly butterflies to finish. I love the idea of airport/planes as a theme. Makes me want to get married all over again just to try it! I LOVE planes! Maybe you could get the waiters to dress as pilots WOW!

Well I think we've decided for definante on naming the tables after british planes and putting a little info about them on one side with a pic on the other.

Hi

We have just ordered these for the Bridal Party males for o/h to give to them on the morning of the wedding. Thought this might help you out, this seller has a few different types of planes too.

I had made for a charity ball I helped organise once, loads of paper butterflies, we had a printer stamp all the butterfly shapes out, they were about 6" across, nice big ones, and we used every colour of paper we could find, and type from regualr paper to tissue paper. We partly raided his waste bins to get all the scraps out, as long as they were big enough for us, that was good enough. We had lots of papers with designs on them, kinda like wrapping paper, which looked really nice.

We had thousands done and it wasn't that expensive, and we then rigged them along with some small butterfies shaped confetti we found in Wilkinsons (I think) into 'confetti canons' which we hired.

The effect of them raining down, when we set it off, was magical. They seemed to float down just like butterflies.
No one knew it was coming except us organisers and it was a big suprise for all.

I highly recommend it.

Just two pieces of advice. Go for the lighter weight papers, and also choose a butterflies design with rounded wings.

There's loads of butterfly idea things in the Confetti catalogue or on their website.

Yeah I know good old confetti, but the plane element is the hardest part.

The way you describe that sounds lovely. Was ir very expensive to do.

Will have to check with my venue first that it would be ok.

Hello havent been posting over here as now gone to BT but saw this thread and thought would flash some bits from our day x

Thanks Shelley Mrs W. I really like your table plan, did you DIY it.
