I love attending a theme wedding. They can be so much fun. Last weekend I went to a fantastic wedding and reception. It was all done in a country western motif.
They chose a small country church to hold the wedding ceremony. They had satin bows and ribbon to decorate the pews and beautiful flower arrangements with candles all around the altar. The bridesmaids and flower girl wore gorgeous baby blue dresses with flowered hair pieces. The little ring boy was adorable in his little tux, and the groomsmen were very handsome in theirs, with the white boutonnieres in the lapels. But all eyes were focused on the elegant bride and groom. They were such a lovely couple. When the ceremony ended the happy couple left for the reception in a horse drawn buggy.
The couple were having their reception at the country house they had bought a couple of months before. What a gorgeous place they had with a beautiful house and horse barn on two acres. I would have loved to have started my married life out in a place like this.
You could tell at one glance how hard she worked at setting this reception in motion. It was absolutely perfect. Each checkered tablecloth had centerpieces of wild flowers in little metal buckets. She did a fantastic job, not just with the décor, but also the themed weddings. There were strings of white christmas lights all around the picnic tables, with a few old fashioned lanterns here and there. With the décor consisting of hay bales and corn stalks on the barn doors, this really gave the perfect appearance of a country reception. There were so much set up for adults and kids to enjoy. Some of the kids were bobbing for apples while others were into a wild game of horse shoes, and still others were trying their hand at line dancing. It was great fun for everyone.
The wedding cake was spectacular and the wedding topper had us all in stitches. It was the perfect themed cake topper. They even had country themed champagne flutes for the bridal toast. There were also adorable little cowboy hats were the place card holders for every guest. That was such a unique idea.
There was plenty of delicious foods for everyone at the party. Since this was more like a country barbecue, there was plenty choices of meats, salads and vegetables. It was one heck of a cookout. Lots of music, dancing, games and food to last all evening. The country western theme was a blast.
A beach themed reception is another great party to go to. There is nothing more beautiful than a beach wedding ceremony. The sun setting in the water makes a very romantic scene. It’s like a romantic novel with the crashing of waves and the warm gentle breeze all around you. I plan on having a beach wedding and reception too, one day.
The bridesmaids looke so nice in their linen summer dresses and the groomsmen were quite handsome in their drawstring pants and linen shirts. The bride wore a beautiful crepe dress that seemed to match the blue of the ocean, and the groom looked so handsome in his white linen beach attire. The whole ceremony was absolute perfection, just like dream.
Their reception was more than elegant too. Everything for her table décor had something to do with the oceanside. The centerpieces were little trays filled with sand and two large pillar candles with seashells, starfish and orchids all around them. Her crystal champagne glasses had beach themed stems and her place card holders were little seashells.
She had everything in a beautiful beach décor, from her wedding cake topper to the wonderful theme wedding cakes she had put together. This was truly a wedding and reception to remember.
