Bring A Very Western Flavor To Your Wedding Venue

If you or your partner enjoy a home on the range or feel most comfortable on the back of a horse, why not bring a western flavor to your wedding? Regardless of where your venue is, there are some simple and clever ways to bring that cowpoke feeling to your big day.

Some ways to bring a western flair to your wedding venue include:

A rustic aisle. Line the aisle of your wedding venue with haybales that lay-out the path to the altar. Use solar stake lights or outdoor candle lanterns with flameless votives inside to place on top of each bale for an illuminated aisle.

The right tables. Create a western-theme with your tables and linens. Guests won't mind sitting on haybales along long tables as long as you take time to cover the top of each bale with canvas to make them more comfortable. Cover your tables with rolls of burlap, which is available at most crafting or feed and seed retailers. Fold brightly-colored bandanas into napkins to lay on each place-setting.

Cowboy grub. Let your cowpoke friends eat outside with an outdoor s'more station. Guests can help themselves to hot cider and cocoa outside with self-serve carafes set up for added convenience. Don't forget about a big pot of chili, which can also be set up in a self-serve station with lots of toppings for guests to pick and choose.

Western favors. Create horseshoe party favors for the guests that attend your big day. Stock-up on authentic metal horseshoes and print a picture of the happy couple to cut and fit inside. Make sure to place the picture in an upside-down horse shoe- you don't want the good luck to run out!

Charming centerpieces. Make your own simple cowboy boot centerpieces, by filling cool, old boots with flowers and greens. Another idea is to use cowboy hats on your tables, and sprinkle flower petals all- around it.

Wet whistles. Give guests mason jars for their beverages and glassware at your wedding reception. Fill galvanized buckets with ice to serve beer, soda, and spring water. If you hire bartender, make sure they are dressed for the event, like ranchers, sheriffs, or old time saloon-keepers!

From haybales and horses to bandanas and bulls, bring a western flavor to your wedding venue. Incorporating these distinct details will make a one-of-a-kind venue like Castle McCulloch and a memorable event. Use these tips to bring a little country to your big day!
