White Dove Releases for Wedding Ceremonies
The Perfect Wedding Gift
Consider giving the gift of a dove release as the perfect
wedding gift for the ones you love.
Doves select only one mate for life, which is the perfect
symbolism of marriage. In fact, the releasing of pure
white doves is an ancient ritual that symbolizes many of the
elements of married life.
While A Touch Above will always be present to help
administer the event, those involved may even choose to hold
and release the doves themselves at the specified time.
We’ll show you how.

A wedding speaks of love and togetherness.
What better way to express these sentiments than with a pure
white dove release during or after your wedding ceremony?
In the past, couples have opted for being showered with grains
of rice as a wish for a large harvest or a new family.
Today a popular and classic alternative is the release of pure
white doves.

- Doves symbolize love, peace, happiness, and prosperity, and can
be released outdoors as the couple leaves the church or during
an outdoor ceremony.
- The trained white doves, ranging in number from two to 20,
circle the couple and then fly away, denoting the newlyweds’
departure from their families and toward life’s new journey.
- It is said that if doves are seen on your wedding day it will
assure a happy home, good fortune, and ever- lasting love.
- You can “Go Green” with a white dove release. A dove
release is environmentally friendly, as the performance of our
winged friends is always “recyclable.”

The Symbolism of a White Dove Release
First, you will note that our doves are pure white. This
represents the bride and groom as they begin their life’s
journey together in purity and with no regrets of their past.
Second, a wedding ceremony begins a journey of two lives working
together for life’s happiness. The actions of the doves
demonstrate this beautifully. Once released, the doves fly
higher and higher together as they seek their way home.
While still separate, they work as a team until they can find
their bearings. Once they discover the direction they need
to travel, these beautiful white doves climb to greater and
greater heights.
Similarly, a bride and groom do not know what the future holds
for them. Their path may change many times along the way,
but with faith and love they will find their way together.
Just as our doves have the instinct to find their way home, the
wedding couple will always know where “home” is, as home is
wherever they are together.
Customize Your Dove Release
To make your wedding the most special day of your life, customize
your dove release with a beautiful poem or song to be read or sung at
the time of release. This extra touch will awe your guests and
turn your wedding into a day no one will ever forget.
In addition, doves can be on display in a decorative cage for
all guests to view before the release.

About Our Doves
The birds used in white dove releases are actually white homing
pigeons, which are related to the dove species. Actual
doves are too fragile to make the flight home and do not have a
natural homing instinct to find their way home. White
homing pigeons are slightly larger, have the homing ability, and
are stronger flyers. Even so, their performance is possible
only after prolonged and precise training.
Our “doves” are also very clean, white, and healthy birds, and
love to fly, showing off their skills.
 
Do You Provide Butterfly Releases Too?
No. Our birds are true performers, enjoy a pampered life,
and are rewarded for their efforts. However beautiful
butterflies may be, they can never be more than kidnap victims
forced to spend a part of their short lives in captivity and far
from home. Often butterflies are delivered injured and,
unable to fend for themselves, fly away to an early death.
