Letting Doves Go At A Wedding

One of our favorite events during a wedding is the release of the doves.  We feel having a dove release during the ceremony or at the end of the ceremony adds so much romance and great memories but where do all those released wedding doves really go?

Do they continue to fly around, are you concerned since they have been held captive they will not be able to find food or have shelter?  No, none of the above, the doves released at the wedding fly home where food and water are awaiting them. You see white doves released used for weddings are actually pure white homing pigeons.

Laramie Street Dove Releases is a dove release company.

Did you know that doves mate for life?  That says it all when you say your vows to each other during the wedding ceremony. 

RELEASE OF WEDDING DOVES?

Releasing doves is a beautiful way to end a wedding ceremony. If you’re looking for an artistic and heartfelt element to add to your wedding day, you may want to consider using wedding doves. The doves released at a wedding symbolize the happiness that you and your spouse feel concerning the joy of your new union.

WEDDING DOVES

  • White doves being released at a wedding can symbolize the purity and innocence of the marriage relationship, since white is the color of purity. White doves can also represent something that is new, which makes the dove release very fitting for a wedding. When the doves are released at a wedding, it is a physical expression off the sentiment that the bride and groom are starting a new life together innocently, and are facing the unknown together.

WHITE DOVES FOR A WEDDING

  • Some couples choose to release doves at the wedding as a sign of peace. The sentiment dates back to Biblical times, when Noah sent a dove out from the ark to make sure that the land was safe for humans to live on again after the flood. The dove is meant to be a symbol of peace in the couple’s home and throughout their lives together. The bride and groom may also use doves in the wedding decorations as a way to extend peace and good wishes to their loved ones.

WHITE DOVES IN MEMORY

  • If the couple wants to honor the memory of a loved who has passed away, doves can be used for this purpose during the ceremony. An image of a dove can be placed in an empty chair that represents the loved one, or projected images of flying doves can be displayed at the point in the wedding where deceased loved ones are acknowledged. If the wedding is held outdoors, live white doves be released at this time as well.

DOVE RELEASE AT WEDDING

  • Wedding doves are also released during or after a ceremony because the birds represent fidelity. When doves find a mate, they remain with the mate for life, which is why white doves are the perfect bird to include in a celebration that honors lifelong commitment. Many couples choose to release a pair of white doves after they have exchanged vows in order to directly display this sentiment. White is also the color of eternity, which makes the dove release at a wedding even more fitting.

WHITE DOVES RELEASE

  • White dove releases are a symbol of joy, and since a wedding is a joyous occasion, opening the basket so that they can fly freely, or using photos of doves being released at a wedding in the day’s setup is definitely appropriate. Superstition also suggests that couples who see a pair of white doves released on their wedding day will have a blessed marriage, which is a wonderful sentiment for the new couple to keep in mind when starting a new life together. A wedding dove release symbolizes peace, serenity, and new beginnings.
