YEEEHAW! It’s almost time for the most anticipated event for cowboys and cowgirls everywhere… The Calgary Stampede. Here at Special Event Rentals we’ve taken some inspiration from the Stampede’s rich history and rodeo roots. What’s more fun than a good ol’ western inspired wedding? Here are some things we are sure you and your Redneck Romeo can do to add country flare to your big day:
- Whiskey Barrels!
We just love the idea of using two whisky barrels for a dessert table or one for a cake table. Rustic, romantic and oh so western!
- Drinking Jars
Drinking jars are the perfect way to add country flare to your wedding. We love how they look like mason jars, but serve a functional purpose. And better yet, add in some fun paper straws for a little personalized touch!
- Burlap & Lace Linens
Burlap linen is all the rage these days and we are most certainly on the band wagon! What’s not to love about linen that adds texture to a tablescape. Add in some lace and you have yourself some country flare! Check out our full selection burlap linens and table runners (available in multiple colours) & lace overlays and napkins!
- Lanterns
Lanterns are the perfect centerpiece for a western inspired event! Add in warm candle light and just like that you have a statement piece!
- Wooden Folding Chairs
Wooden folding chairs have western written all over them! Although you may not realize it chairs are a huge statement piece and can truly do wonders for your décor! These rich wooden chairs are chic and simple – perfect for any wedding needing some country flare.
- Café Lights
What is more romantic than soft lighting? Café lights add the perfect amount of warmth to indoor and outdoor receptions. String them throughout your venue or amongst the trees and instantly add country flare to your big day!
- Favours
Nothing says thank you like a personalized favour! With so many options and DIY ideas, favours are easily customized to you and your country beau. Sweets of any kind are always a hit because let’s be honest who doesn’t love a sweet treat every now and again?
