Western Wedding Location Ideas
Are you having a bit of trouble coming up with ideas for a great location for your ceremony or reception? Here are some suggestions to explore:1) Hold your wedding in a cleaned out barn or stable.
2) Consider renting a historical colonial home for the ceremony. Even out in the front yard would be lovely. You can find these types of buildings at Historical Villages.
3) Small country churches are lovely places for western weddings.
4) Rent a community hall and decorate it in a western theme.
5) If you have access to a large farmhouse or ranch, have the ceremony on the front porch while your guests look on from below.
6) Have your wedding in a sheltered picnic area that contains barbecue pits. Cover the tables in white cloth with a red and white checkered runner.
7) Southwestern missions would be a fabulous choice for those living in the Deep South.
8) An old Victorian home or chapel would also serve as a great spot.
9) For a small reception, consider booking a private dining room in a western style or even Mexican restaurant.
10) How about having a "weekend wedding" by booking passage on an old locomotive. This would be most suitable for a very small, intimate wedding with just immediate family and a few close friends.
11) Make arrangements to exchange marriage vows during a local rodeo show.
12) If you are willing to travel and do some research, there are many little towns that have retained their "old west" charm. Most should have a hotel, restaurant and/or courthouse that would fit right into your theme wedding.

* Most country & western wedding dresses feature a sweetheart neckline.
* You will often find that western wedding gowns have an outer layer of lace or a lot of lace trim.
* The dress typically falls just above the ankle, rather than flowing to the ground. Many of the western style dresses also come with handkerchief hemlines.
* A slightly different style features an upswept skirt in the front (shin height) and falls to the ground in the back.
* If you choose a short sleeve or sleeveless dress, consider buying a matching bolero jacket for cool evenings.
* In some cases, you may opt to have fringe lining the front yoke, hemline%u2026 even the sleeves.
* The most popular styles in sleeves are the full length Gibson sleeve or the short Cap sleeves.
* Buttons closures are the most popular rather than zippers.
* An old Victorian style dress is also a great choice for a western wedding.

A beautiful prayer that many couples include in their wedding vows.

God in heaven above
please protect the ones we love.
We honour all you created
as we pledge our hearts and lives together.
We honour mother-earth
- and ask for our marriage to be abundant
and grow stronger through the seasons;
We honour fire
- and ask that our union be warm
and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honour wind
- and ask we sail though life
safe and calm as in our father's arms;
We honour water
- to clean and soothe our relationship
- that it may never thirsts for love;
With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony and true happiness
as we forever grow young together.

Create A Theme Within A Theme
Wildflowers, square dancers, cowboy hats and boots... all are things that you think of when you think "western wedding". But many couples don't usually think of streamlining this theme down even more. Here are a few ideas on some sub-themes of the western wedding genre.Horses Only
Focus your western style wedding to feature the different breeds of horses. Accessorize and decorate only with items that are related directly to horses, such as horseshoes, bridles, saddles, harnesses, wagons and carriages.
Turn-of-the-Century Old West Town
Take your wedding party to an old-fashioned western town. There are many that are set up to cater to tourists, with "gun-slingers" and sheriffs roaming the streets. Use items like sheriff badges, old western-style signs, wanted posters, "hitching" posts, and other such paraphernalia for decorations and favors.
Wild West Saloon
Decorate your wedding location to look like a 19th century saloon. You'll need "gambling tables", saloon girls for waitstaff, and "gun-slingers" for entertainment.

Another beautiful prayer to include in your ceremony
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

But there is one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
Many couples wish to write their own wedding vows, but aren't sure where to start. If you find that you're also having some trouble with this task, then I would suggest you take a look at the Instant Wedding Vows Package. It provides you with everything that you need to write your own personal, sentimental, and well-thought out wedding vow rather than having to recite the traditional biblical vows used at many weddings.
