I love attending a theme wedding. They truly can be a lot of fun. I just went to one of the best weddings and receptions I’ve ever attended. It was a country western themed ceremony.
The ceremony took place in a small country church. They had satin bows and ribbon to decorate the pews and beautiful flower arrangements with candles all around the altar. With the flowered hair pieces and the lovely baby blue dresses the bridesmaids and flower girl looked spectacular. The groomsmen and ring boy looked quite handsome in their tuxes with little white boutonnieres in their 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. It was a lovely home with a couple of acres and a barn for their horses they planned on having. I hate to admit it, but I’m a little jealous of all they have accomplished just starting out.
You could tell she put a lot of effort into planning this reception. It was absolutely perfect. All the tables had red and white checkered table cloths, with little metal buckets of wildflowers in them. Her choice of themed weddings and country decorations was so fantastic. White christmas lights mixed in with a few lanterns completely encircled the picnic tables. There were bales of hay stacked here and there with corn stalks on the barn doors. They had things for the children to do so they could have as good a time as the grown ups. There were horse shoes, bobbing for apples, and barn dancing. Everyone was having the time of their lives.
They had a gorgeous cake with a funny country western cake topper that gave everyone a good laugh. The cutest cake topper I’ve ever seen. I wish I knew where she got those adorable country themed champagne flutes. And on each and every table she had little cowboy hats that were used as place card holders. Everyone thought they were so cute.
There were so many delicious dishes served at the reception. They grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, mostly for the kids, and steaks, ribs, and chicken for the adults, with choice of salads and vegetables. There was plenty of great food to choose from. It was a great reception, plenty to eat, great tunes to dance to and games to keep the kids happy for hours. It was a great country western themed reception.
Another fun reception is a beach party reception. There is nothing more beautiful than a beach wedding ceremony. The sun setting in the water makes a very romantic scene. The warm breeze and the sound of the waves simply adds to the ambiance of the ceremony. On my wedding day, I want to have a wedding ceremony just like this one.
The bridesmaids wore gorgeous summer dresses and the groomsmen wore drawstring pants and linen shirts. She made a lovely bride in her ocean blue flowing crepe dress, and he was such a handsome groom in his white linen beach outfit. This was definitely a dream come true wedding ceremony.
The reception was something special 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. Each and every guest had adorable little seashell place card holders, and champagne glasses with beach themed decorations on the stems.
She did a marvelous job decorating in a beach motif, from her wedding cake topper to the lovely theme wedding decorations that I was infatuated with. This was truly a wedding and reception to remember.
