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.

I came across this web site that is perfect for those planning a western style wedding.

Cherokee Wedding Prayer 

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.
