Create A Butterfly Dreamscape

The world’s aflutter about butterflies this season! Beautiful and beloved, these winged wonders symbolize transformation and freedom, making a butterfly-themed party especially fitting to celebrate a big moment or milestone in life. Here’s how to recreate the magic of being inside a butterfly garden--no real butterflies needed!


Set The Scene

The first step to translating a butterfly theme on a party table is with bright and blooming imagery. Our lively, lovely Butterfly Meadow collection is the natural choice. With dinnerware, flatware, drinkware, and more, this expansive mix-and-match collection has everything you need to set a whimsical, nature-inspired scene--even if you’re celebrating inside.


Attract Some Attention

It’s all about hue—and plenty of pretties! Butterflies are drawn to bright colors and sweet nectars, so a fruit-laden and dessert-dazzled party menu is perfect. Butterfly- and flower-shaped fruits, sweet tarts, and other colorful treats are sure to tempt anyone—winged or not. You’ll also want to go big on blooms. We chose dahlias displayed in an array of colorful glasses, but any flower will do. Native wildflowers and blooming perennials like clippings from a butterfly bush would be fitting foliage for your butterfly dreamscape.


Make It Next-Level

 We mean this quite literally. To make your party table really pop, give your tablescape height and the appearance of flight. Display desserts on tiered servers, and give your cake an extra boost atop a cake plate. For extra dimension and movement, we added 3D butterflies that appear to be soaring in mid-air—they’re held in place by nearly indetectable, slightly bouncy wire skewers. A backdrop of butterfly garland tied high and left to sway, plus a sprinkling of on-theme table confetti and cloth napkins folded into butterflies bring plenty of light-hearted playfulness to get your party started.
