We are so lucky to have another guest blog by the talented Sunny of Sunny Day Vintage shop on Etsy.  Last time, she showed us how to plan and style a sweet vintage shower.  Today, she ran wild and has fabulous Western themed wedding ideas.  Put on your cowboy boots and get ready for a creative adventure…

Now Sunny has the reins:

You and your mister love the outdoors and have a penchant for the Wild West. Why not bring your natural country style to your wedding day? You can have a down-home, affordable wedding… and find almost everything you need on Etsy!

Start with an old-time wedding invitation to kick off your theme.

Ask guests to wear Western gear, from hats to boots. Encourage the groomsmen to wear Stetsons, denim jeans, white shirts and black jackets.

Gift your bridesmaids with a pretty shrug to keep warm when the sun sets in the western sky.

You’ll be gussied up in a casually romantic tea-length dress and carry a simple bouquet of country flowers.
