You’ve decided to tie the knot and celebrate with your closest family and friends by throwing a western wedding.
Congratulations! You’ve picked a fun theme that you will enjoy and your guests will find one-of-a-kind. Planning a western wedding is fun and you can accent your theme by selecting all kinds of different western themed items from apparel to invitations, favors, centerpieces and music.
Choosing a country setting for your western wedding will enhance the experience for your guest. Consider a guest ranch if you plan on a larger gathering or for an intimate gathering of just a few family and friends, consider a scenic venue at one of the many beautiful National Parks out West. Many public parks have covered porticos or gazebos that would provide shelter from the elements while not inhibiting the majestic views. Imagine how beautiful your western wedding photos can be with scenic mountains or wide open spaces in your backgrounds!
Your western wedding can be an elegant country affair with a relaxed atmosphere, or a rustic elegant, upscale event in the country. Think about what reflects your own personal style and what would make you and your significant other, family and friends most enjoy the special day. Fun western wedding touches like wine holders for the guests tables made from bits and spurs or centerpieces that incorporate local wildflowers in season, are all great ways to infuse a western theme into your western wedding. Other table décor can include western themed place card holders, candle holders designed in a western theme such as horseshoes, cowboy boot shaped vases to hold your floral arrangements, or sweet goodies for your guests hidden in western suede pouches.
The bride will have many options to choose from when it comes to western wedding dresses.
Elegant lace in full length or t-length and full, there are many varieties to choose from in this genre of apparel. The bride may choose a traditional veil to accompany her western wedding dress, or she may opt for a western hat with attached veil to suite her formal style.

Brides may also choose a western wedding garter and western jewelry to coordinate with their outfit. Horseshoe shaped earrings, rings and diamond studded necklaces fit the western wedding theme and indicate good luck for the bride and groom. Texas stars and more traditional heart pendant and earring sets offer a more subtle country feel.
The bride isn’t the only one getting in on the western action; the groom also has many options for sporting western wedding apparel. Tuxedos of traditional length or longer length top coats are a smart look, accompanied by a cowboy hat or matching western patterned or jacquard vest. The groom’s tie can be a bolo with a silver accent or a simple colonel black tie. Wranglers or Levi’s are never out of the question, depending upon the level formality desired at your event!

What if you’re invited to a western wedding – what gift would be appropriate?
Traditional gifts for the home with a western flair are always appreciated by the newlywed couple.

Beach accessories like western themed beach towels or boot topped beach totes are sure to be a big hit and surprise the newlywed couple. A distinguished yet practical gift to give at a western wedding is American Western luggage – rodeo duffle bags, western handbags with matching wallets or shaving kits for men.
What about your western wedding cake? A cowboy themed cake topper is a must-have. Many adorable figurines abound with grooms adorned with black cowboy hats and brides in matching white cowboy hats. Other cake toppers with horse and riders are reminiscent of bronze statues by Frederick Remington. If your style is traditional you can go with whipped or butter cream icing but you can infuse a western theme with piped designs that imitate tooled leather, Texas Lone Stars or even split rail fencing. If you don’t feel the need to be so traditional at your western wedding, try mocha or chocolate icing smoothed to perfection with adorning accent shapes Texas Long Horns, horseshoes, saddles and roping designs!
