Location: Quaint chapels, barns, farmhouses or ranches make a perfect setting for your western theme wedding.
Rent a barn for the reception and hire a band that can do line and square-dance numbers. Maybe a fiddle or a banjo player is more to your liking.
Ride to the wedding and the reception on a horse, in a carriage of on a hay wagon. Give your guests the opportunity to ride in the hay wagon during the reception. The little ones especially, will enjoy this.
Color Scheme: Use natural colors for your western theme wedding.
Wild flowers come in a variety of beautiful pastel colors. Rich earth tones of browns, warm rusts, burnt oranges, deep reds, golden yellows & greens also go well with this theme.
Flowers & Decorations: Sunflowers, daisies and other wildflower bouquets are perfect for the western theme. Use soft rope to hand tie the bouquets and add wild weeds and hay.
For centerpieces, use old boots, mason jars, jugs, tins and baskets. Fill them with wild flowers.
Borrow quilts to decorate plain walls or to place across the gift and cake tables. Place large country-style craft items at entrances and by the gift, cake or guest book tables. Large farm tools can also be a part of the decor.
Bales of hay, rope, washtub's, wire, livestock, garlands of greenery and arrangements of fruit are all great for this themes. Tree trunks are ideal for sitting on outside.
The father of the bride could carry a prop shotgun for a real shotgun wedding effect!
Ideas for Vittles: Cowboy's love their Barbecues. Hire a caterer that has a rolling pit that can come to your site and cater the barbecue.
Have a pig roast with corn on the cob, fresh vegetables, baked beans, cornbread, dinner rolls and plenty of finger foods.
Favors & Parting Gifts: Decorate mini jars of jams, jellies and preserves. Cookie cutters with personalized recipe cards make great gifts your guests are sure to enjoy.
Handcuffs, sheriff badges, bandanas, cowboy hats and horseshoes are always a fun part of a western theme wedding.
