The short answer
The butterfly is a flat cut-out panel in white, and it stands on its own base rather than hanging from a wall or a ceiling. That is the detail that decides where it goes: it needs a patch of level floor, not a hook.

What it actually looks like in a room
It reads as a white silhouette rather than a solid shape, because the wings are cut through with open detail that lets the wall colour behind show. At floor level it behaves like a small sculpture, which is why it is usually placed in pairs, one either side of an entrance, a cake table, or the foot of a backdrop. The catalogue photo shows two of them standing together at different sizes, and that pairing is how most people book it.
Where it works and where it does not
Indoors on a level floor is what it is built for. It is a tall flat panel on a shallow base, so a gust catches it like a sail: an open lawn, a dock, or an unsheltered terrace is the wrong home for it, and we will say so rather than set it up somewhere it will spend the evening being caught. On carpet it wants a firm patch rather than deep pile.
If you wanted a lit version instead
This one is not illuminated. There is a separate LED butterfly in the rental inventory, listed on the rentals page rather than here, and it is a different piece with different needs, including an outlet. If you are choosing between them, tell us the room and whether it will be lit low for dancing, and we will tell you which of the two actually shows up in that light.

Questions people ask about this
- Do you deliver and set this up, or do I collect it?
- We deliver it, set it up before your guests arrive, and come back to collect it afterwards. Nothing in the rental collection is a self-collect item, because most of these pieces need two people and a van, and a statement chair or a dessert table arriving damaged in the back of a car is nobody's idea of a saving. Delivery is quoted with the piece rather than added afterwards.
- How far in advance should I book it?
- Popular weekends go earliest, and single pieces like statement seating and cake tables exist once, not in multiples, so a date is either free or it is not. A week or two is comfortable for most dates and peak Saturdays fill well before that. Ask anyway if your date is soon: we will tell you honestly what is still available rather than holding you while we check.
- Which areas around Ottawa do you deliver to?
- Ottawa, Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Gloucester, Nepean and Gatineau, from the studio at 99 Ralph Erfle Wy in Nepean. Addresses further out are usually still possible and are quoted on the drive rather than refused. Tell us the venue with your date and we will confirm before you book.
