Weddings Western Style
More and more couples today are choosing to have the wedding they want in the way they want and refuse to be dictated to as to how their special day should be celebrated by tradition.
Wedding themes are the perfect way to start a new life together, the couples enjoy their day just as much as the guests do, which is most unusual for a wedding day with its traditional stress and ridged ceremony. Some themes are absolutely ideal in their ability to accept and blend a little tradition and ceremony with a little party flair. One particular theme that stands out as being the most versatile is the western themed wedding.
If deciding on a western theme wedding you have the choice of exchanging your nuptials in a religious building or in some other beautiful location indoors or out.
To set the theme right off when doing the ???I do???s???, you could find a small older country flavored building and dress it up inside with quaint little floral arrangements of local native flora, abandoning the idea of expensive ???over the top??? floral masterpieces that chew into the entertainment budget. The choices of where and what to decorate with when planning your western wedding theme are simply endless. A western themed wedding does not appear as a budgeting option when holding the service or the entire event outdoors. Dressing up a lawn or a barn shed for western themed wedding is as simple as having a beautiful spring wedding and taking advantage of the wedding flowers growing naturally around the place, buying a few hay bales for the guests to sit on and celebrating a new life together without the fuss and bother that goes with a stuffy formal wedding reception.
Dressing the bridal party is also far easier and less expensive than outfitting for a formal traditional wedding. The bride could choose to wear a formal gown patterned in the design of yesteryear, perhaps carry a lace sun umbrella instead of a bouquet of flowers and stand right up as the southern belle of the day, or the bride could wear a simple cotton tunic and be the poor farmer???s daughter. The bride could even go real casual in denim jeans and cute cowgirl boots. Whichever look you might decide on for your western themed wedding you can be sure that you can have it to suite any budget and that look is just right for you.
I do recommend that if you are opting for very casual dress for your western themed wedding, to buy something special for the day and spend some time on the usual wedding preening. Formal or casual you really do want to look your greatest. My secret tip from one sister to another when dressing for your western wedding, make your lingerie the most special you can, surprise the groom with something a little special the guests will never know about.
The bridal party could arrive in horse drawn carriages, either coach style or an open cart. Certainly the groom making his entry on horseback is always sensational. If the groom does not ride, the way to the alter is not the place to learn, even those bomb proof ponies have a way of losing an inexperienced rider. In this case, an open cart is honestly recommended. If you would prefer not to take your chances with the horses on your special day, there are always vintage car clubs that might recommend some great western themed cars for you. Perhaps you might consider a few utility trucks to make the entrance just right for your western wedding themed wedding.
The food at a western themed wedding is also very versatile. You might like to have your wedding catered. A little shopping around is sure to find a caterer to suite your needs. Catering could be as simple as a spit roast, corn on the cob and boiled potatoes. You might even consider casual fried chicken pieces and home baked vegetables, perhaps a few pies and things presented like a fair bake-off.
Don???t forget to let your guests in on the theme right from the start. When sending out your invitations, be clear that your wedding will have a western theme and ask your guests to dress accordingly.

Most Caribbean weddings come as customizable vacation packages with all details accounted for by the resort or planning service.
