Spice It Up With A Spanish Theme Wedding
If you want to plan a unique, one of a kind wedding that
includes great music and food, you may want to think about
planning a Spanish theme wedding!
The Spanish culture has a long tradition of tasty food, great wine
and of course, spicy music and attire – having a Spanish theme
wedding could be the perfect choice for you if you want to plan
your wedding a little differently and more unique than most
weddings.
Whether you choose to focus on the relaxed, ocean culture of the
Andalucia region in Southern Spain, the hip, artsy area that
encompasses Barcelona, or the vibrant, cosmopolitan nature of
Madrid, having a Spanish theme wedding will be a day that you and
your guests will never forget!
Ask anyone in any region of Spain about food and they'll tell you
that it's an important aspect of their culture. Spanish people
have a lot of pride in what they eat and how they eat it.
Generally, the Spanish eat together in large groups – whether it's
with their family or friends (or both!), mealtime should be about
talking and socializing, in addition to enjoying the food.
Therefore, when you plan your Spanish theme wedding, try to design
your reception area so that it encourages talking and socializing.
For example, you may want to consider long, wooden tables, with
bench-like seats, which will position your guests closer to each
other but also allow a large number of guests to sit at the same
table. Circular tables are also a great way to stimulate
conversation.
In terms of food, there are many varieties, depending on where you
travel to in Spain. Some of the most traditional Spanish foods
that you may want to consider serving at your Spanish theme
wedding are chorizo (a type of spicy sausage) and manchego cheese
with warm baguettes. Spicy green olives and salted almonds are
also traditional in nearly all parts of Spain and work great for
starters.
No Spanish theme wedding would be complete without Sangria! A
Spanish favorite, Sangria is a very sweet mixture of red wine and
fruit. You can choose white or red Sangria to serve – or both, for
more variety.
Spain is also fortunate enough to have beautiful landscapes and
countrysides. Therefore, your Spanish theme wedding could be
decorated with fresh flowers, Barcelona-inspired mosaics and
pictures of the Spanish coastline.
It is really up to the bride and groom to decide what each feels
comfortable wearing on their special day. However, to make the
Spanish theme wedding particularly fun, the bride may want to
consider wearing a Spanish-inspired dress, perhaps in a bright
color, such as red. The groom should follow the bride's lead and
wear something that matches her – perhaps a Spanish suit with a
bright red rose on the collar.
Having a Spanish theme wedding is a great way to spice up your
perfect day and add some unique, original components that are sure
to be a hit with your guests!
