Having A Western Wedding
July 19, 2009
Brides and grooms should saddle up their horses for a Western wedding. Nothing can be more fun than a wedding with a Western theme. Maybe you can have horses for the bride and groom to ride off into the sunset. Or at least a horse and carriage for the happy couple.
Or, have the horses bring you to the wedding rehearsal dinner. Get out the cowboy hats and make your tables look cowboy fancy. Get little cowboy hats, boots, bandanas and more to decorate your tables. You can give out western favors to your guests. Imagine cowboy hats for your groomsmen and bridesmaids.
After all, cowboy hats come in all kinds of colors and sizes these days. Too expensive? Some places offer engraving on pewter shot glasses, beer steins or “eating troughs” (bowls). Purchase flasks and have them engraved. Make sure you refer to them as canteens when you give them to your wedding party. Give all of your groomsmen a Western tie and have it be part of the wedding attire. For your bridesmaid, turquoise and silver jewelry is associated with the west and might be used with their dresses on the wedding day. After dinner, you could gather around a campfire.
