The western style or the image of that of a cowboy is known throughout the world. Whether in movies, the small screen on in other mediums and enterprises, the western style is easily recognizable. From the mountain range backdrop to the well-loved cowboy attire, a western theme for events, whether for birthdays or for weddings is gaining popularity, and of course, it is a well-loved theme for people living out west.
For couples who want to use this theme in their wedding, you can have a total western wedding by having wedding favors with a western or cowboy theme. Listed below are some suggestions you can incorporate in your wedding:
The horseshoe is one lasting symbol of western culture. You can give away candles that are designed similar to that of a horseshoe. There are specialty bridal stores where you can order these from or you can get them from online wedding favors shops. Other items that you would have to pre-order and make special orders for are horseshoe designed soaps, candy bars or chocolate bars.
Stick with the regular brown color for the chocolates to make them delectable, but for other items such as soaps, or candy bars, you can have them in other colors and you can have one that is the same hue or at least, complementary to your color motif. Other items you may be able to find in online bridal stores are flower vases and bottle openers that have bodies or handles tha
t are horse shoe shaped. Similarly, you can have the same items like soaps, candy bars or candles that are shaped as cowboy boots, being another favorite and popular western style image.
If you have a collection of your favorite western songs, you can compile them in a CD and make them your CD wedding favors. You can further personalize them by choosing a CD case in the same color as your color motif, and you can also even have the CD cover personalized by placing your wedding details, or even your photo in them. Country music would be an ideal choice for the theme of such a music CD, as long as your guests enjoy that type of music.
If you want to make your own party favors, cupcakes and brownies are a simple choice. After you bake them, you can use frosting and icing to decorate them with a western theme. Draw little cowboy boots with icing or get some toppers that with western symbols, like a cactus or cowboy riding a horse.
With so many items available to be given as favors, you will never run out of ideas when it comes to the type of your wedding favor. Remember that no matter which item you use, just incorporate the image of a cowboy hat, a mountain range backdrop, or a horse shoe in the items. Have photo frames or bookmarks that are printed with these images.
Whether you use your color motif as the general color for your item, add a shade or a hint of brown to complete the look. All you need is just a little creativity to come up with a unique wedding favor that reflects the west.
