There are a few unique ways to use a tan and gold wedding palette: a western cowboy theme or a rustic vintage chic style. We’re really into the western cowboy theme for fall weddings (right around the corner!). But both are equally fun and creative especially when you’re decorating with gold decoration accents. Gold is a beautiful color to use for weddings because it is elegant and romantic without being too bright. The perfect way to complete a tan and gold wedding palette is to use white as your basic starting point. Using white, tan and gold you’ll be able to create a simple wedding reception that is both western chic and romantic.

Dress to Impress
Many western cowboy weddings feature plenty of western throwbacks. In fact, some brides are opting out of the traditional wedding shoe and choosing cowboy boots instead. Not only are they great for an outdoor setting but they’re stunning in photography as well. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses with coordinated cowboy boots can be a great way to let your bridesmaids pick their own outfits. For the reception, thank them by giving them a pair of cute ballet slippers to free their feet after a long day.
Table for Two
Set your sweetheart table with a gold tablecloth and cute burlap table sashes. Personalized wedding napkins with your new initials will declare your seats taken. There are many benefits to having your own private sweetheart table: you’ll have time to visit with each other, people can come to your table to congratulate you and your wedding party can sit with their families. Plus, it’s more romantic. Create a western themed centerpiece with boot shaped glasses. Fill each with coffee beans, pebbles or succulent plants for a cute wedding centerpiece. Plus, guests can take them home as table prizes! Each table can have a few pairs of boots filled with candles for ambiance.
On each table setting place a horseshoe wedding favor for gets to take home. If you want to decorate with gold, place a gold coaster at each table next to the glasses. The mixture of western and gold will create a beautiful table setting, especially when accented with basic tan and white.
Have Your Cake
…and eat it too! Traditional western couples will love these hay bale wedding cake topper. A tan and gold wedding cake with simple design will be the perfect setting to place this cute cake topper. For the contemporary couple, this bride roping her groom is a cheekier alternative. Guests will get a chuckle out of your sweet sense of humor while admiring your delicious drool-worthy wedding cake. Don’t forget plenty of cupcakes and dessert options. Dress up your cupcakes with gold glitter cupcake wrappers to make the perfect wedding dessert display.
Tan and gold can be used for many different wedding themes. A western cowboy theme is only one of the many possibilities. We love the idea of having a table decorated with votive candles, personalized table runners and sparkly gold accents. By incorporating a classy gold theme into your western wedding you can dress up the typical white wedding theme. A western wedding is the perfect theme for a barnyard wedding venue or backyard event.
