Cute Country Western Theme Weddings

Country western theme weddings are wonderful for the cowgirls and boys at heart. After all, they say you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl. So, for brides who are from the South, or just love the style, a country western theme wedding is perfect.

Country Western Theme Wedding Decoration

Country western theme wedding decoration should be simple and classic. The most important decorative tool to use when decorating a country western wedding is lace. Lace is a classic part of most country decor and should be used in abundance. Brides can use lace to decorate candelabras, gift tables, and pews.

A great pew idea for a country western wedding is to take a wide strip of lace and tie it into a bow. After attaching it to the pew, brides can add a sprig of baby’s breath or other wedding flower, creating a simply beautiful decoration. Another idea is to make cones out of paper then cover them with lace. The cones can then be attached and filled with petals to toss at the bride and groom during their departure from the ceremony.

Wildflowers are a great addition to a country western wedding. They are not as fussy as roses, but still beautiful and classic. They are what you would expect to see in a county field.

Country Western Theme Wedding Attire

Brides choosing a country western wedding have several choices when it comes to attire. First, if they choose to wear a more traditional wedding dress, the bride should pick one with a high neck. The dress should certainly contain lace accents. If the bride wants to be more casual however, she can choose a western skirt and shirt in white or ivory. No matter what the bride chooses to wear, a country western bride should definitely wear boots to her wedding.

Attire for men can be formal or informal, depending on the wishes of the bride. Classic tuxedos are not recommended however. Suits with western ties are great for this theme. Boots are also a must for the men in a country western theme wedding. For an evening wedding, men can also choose to wear cowboy hats.

Country Western Theme Wedding Reception

The reception of a country western wedding should be casual and fun. It should definitely include a live band. A great location for a reception in this theme is a converted barn. These finished barns have been remodeled to host parties and are wonderful for receptions.

An interesting idea for a reception in this theme is to hire a square dance instructor to come in and teach the guests a few simple dances. The guests will love the interaction and it will help to break the ice at the reception as well.

Decor for the reception should include colors of red, white, and blue. It should be somewhat patriotic. Very few Southern homes are without an American flag flying from their porch, and a country western reception should go along with the patriotism concept.

Food can be country inspired as well. Mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, and chicken are great dishes to serve at a country western theme wedding. Anything that reminds you of home is probably appropriate.

Country western theme weddings are laidback events. Not only do the bride and groom have a blast, so do the guests. The underlying idea in this wedding theme is family, and a country western wedding is sure to bring together family and friends for a wonderful celebration.
