    Could you be a little more detailed? What do you need suggestions for?

    Reception site? Other vendors? Or more specifically to your themed wedding? It would really help if we knew what you are looking for.

    Hello. I am not on here much, but I had a western wedding in PA a few years ago. It is so hard to have a western wedding in PA since you really can't buy stuff here for that. Here are some things we did for our wedding:

    ***my dress was an old style southern belle dress with corsett back and no train.

    ***center pieces were little hay bales, with small barrels and wooden hearts glued on the side and a black and white cowboy hats glued on the top.

    ***our cake had a western bride and groom which we got off ebay...then we had the maker add hay to the bottom of the cake as decor and also on the bridges that we had connecting the cake. It also had black and white cowboy hats on the side cakes...our cake was 3 tiers up and bridges connecting a tier on each side.

    ***depending on where your reception is you can use large hay bales to line your aisle and stack as decor throughout.

    ***I wore a cowboy hat, as well as all the guys had them. My girls did not.

    ***one thing I wish I would have done was let my girls wear dressy tops (separate pieces from bridal store) in the color I chose and let them wear jeans to be more western. And something similiar with the guys.

    ***to set off DH from the guys he wore a western bow tie, the guys all wore bolo ties.

    ***our money bag was a burlap sack with the same wooden hearts on it that were on the center pieces.

    I can't think of anything else off hand. Hope this helps. But if you have any questions please let me know I would love to help. You can email me at dingdongnwife617 at yahoo dot com. Like I said I am not on much, so emailing me is the best thing.
