Western Theme Wedding
Gettin’ Hitched Western Style
A western themed wedding is a fun and unforgettable way to
celebrate a wedding. Living in cowboy country, or growing up
watching Bonanza, The Lone Ranger, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood
in western movies, may bring out the love of western in your
heart. The best way to celebrate that love of westerns is to bring
the magic to your wedding by choosing to decorate with western
essentials.

Send the guests a wedding invite decorated with a western theme.
There is stationery that you can decorate with hats, boots, or a
bandana. You can use a cut out of these shapes and write the
invitation to roundup your guests. You can also take a whimsical
route and send the invitations using a black and white cow design
for the invitations.
Begin the western theme wedding decorations with the clothes that
the wedding party wears. There are places that sell western bridal
dresses and clothing for the groom as well. The choices for the
bride and her bridesmaids’ attire range from traditional western
wear to the modern version with Victorian lace, handkerchief
hemlines, and fringe accents. The flower girls can carry the
flowers in a western flower basket with
fringes and a western hat charm.
The groom, and his ushers can wear a classic western Tux with Tail
and a continental tie, or he can go with a banded Collar Stripe
shirt paired with a western leather vest. Both the men and the
women should wear a western hat. Bailey, Stetson, Resistol and
Renegade offer the common western hat that makes the wedding
complete. There are even veils that can be fashioned using this
hat for the bride to wear. Along with the cloths and the hat, a
good western boot is another essential for a western theme wedding
party.
You can take the western theme a step further by asking the guests
to come dressed in their favorite cowboy or cowgirl outfit. Even
if they wear a belt, adorn a pair of jeans with chaps, or decorate
their boots with spurs, it will broaden the western decoration for
your wedding.
An ideal place for a western theme wedding would, of course, be in
the paces like Texas and Wyoming where the spirit of the Wild West
is still kept alive. For those that can’t go to the west, it is
easy to bring the west with a few well chosen western theme
wedding decorations.
Nothing screams western like a saloon. Build a wooden swinging
doors and hitching posts. Big bales of hay should be scattered
throughout the hall as decorations. Set up the tables as gambling
tables. Card playing was a major part of cowboy life, therefore an
important part of the western wedding decor. These gambling tables
should also be decorated with phony guns that a cowboy needed by
his side.
The walls of the wedding site should be decorated with ropes,
horns, spurns and saddles. If you can’t get your hands on a real
one or find a way to make a 3-D decoration out of paper mache,
then hang pictures.
There are many kinds of music that you can choose from for your
western theme wedding. Traditional fiddlers and harmonica players
can be hired to bring the ambiance of the Wild West to your
wedding.
You can also choose to hire an entertainer that can lead you and
your guests in a western dance like the line dance throughout the
reception. There are both classic country songs as well as modern
music that crosses the line of pop that will make a western theme
wedding memorable for life.
