Country Western Themed Wedding

Host a Western-style wedding ceremony. Cowboys, boots, hats and denim are ideal for this event. The ceremony of your dreams can be created with a few easy steps. Select a location, purchase invitations, decorate and provide a hearty meal. Everyone will rave about it for several years to come.

Selecting a location for a Western-style wedding party should be easy and fun. Sites such as a barn, field, church or backyard will do. A barn with hay bales and horses would be quite the setting for this event. Mountains or national and state parks offer trails for everybody to explore. Would not a gazebo or location by a stream be a splendid idea?

Country western weddings can add a certain charm to an already beautiful tradition. It hearkens to a day when people married for love instead of just convenience. Country western weddings have their own sense of pastoral sophistication. The personality of the bride and groom really come to light in these situations as the reaction to the decorations and situation is very visceral. There is a delicate balance between hosting a wedding and organizing a hoe down. The main thing to avoid is letting the wedding become too stereotypical and campy. Everything from the dress to the decorations to the music has to be considered when trying to toe the line between country western and spaghetti western.

Consider first off what the bridal party is going to be wearing. If the wedding is being held on a dusty ranch it may be prudent for the groomsmen to be wearing jeans, button up shirts and bolo ties. Having a flashy belt buckle is almost a necessity as it conveys the sense of country western weddings and how they should mimic the ruggedness of the old west. Conversely, the bridal dress might want to simultaneously convey the understated toughness of a country western bride. While white is most certainly the color to choose, the length may be something easier to walk in and something that allows the bride to walk on her own without the help of someone else. This also makes line dancing easier.
