Happy Thanksgiving! Well, a few more days until the big feast, and we thought we'd take a look at the Thanksgiving themed weddings. (On a side note, if you need any fall themed wedding ideas, don't forget to check out our recent Fall Themed Wedding Series). So, the Thanksgiving wedding is basically just a fall wedding with a little touch of Thanksgiving inspiration.
According to EleGala.com, Thanksgiving is the perfect time for an elegant yet relaxed celebration, as the autumn holiday lends itself to natural settings, simple decor and comfort food. And while the general rule of thumb is to avoid having your wedding around a holiday, Thanksgiving presents an entirely different set of circumstances. While you probably don't want to hold it on Thanksgiving Day, the Friday or Saturday after can be a great option. Most friends and family will either already be in town or planning on traveling anyway, so making the trip to your wedding may not be a burden. Plus, most of your guests will already have the day off. Need more convincing? Here are some creative ways to plan your Thanksgiving wedding in style
Ok, so let's talk invitations. One of the most important aspects to Thanksgiving wedding invitations is to make sure people know it's a Thanksgiving wedding. Send out Save the Date cards early so that people have enough time to prepare for the holiday and the wedding. As far as the invitation theme, use fall colors and add a touch of embossed lettering and pressed autumn leaves or acorns for that classy touch.
Every Thanksgiving wedding reception has the cornucopias full of seasonal veggies as the centerpiece, so if you want to go traditional with your Thanksgiving wedding theme, take that route. If you want to do something a little different with your reception centerpieces, consider using pumpkins with floating candles or white pumpkins with pinecones to set a wonderful contrast.
The menu is all up to you, however for a Thanksgiving themed wedding you can always get away with turkey and mash potatoes. Consider traditional foods with a twist to add even more sophistication to your Thanksgiving wedding. Take a chance with traditional family recipes and customary Thanksgiving foods by mixing it up a bit and blending the old with something modern.
And then there's the cake, the best part of any wedding. The wedding cake is where you can really take some risks. Consider cupcakes topped with autumn leaves or shaped like pumpkins, or go completely traditional with a tiered cake in autumn colors. The choice is yours.
A Thanksgiving themed wedding might seem a little out of the ordinary, but have fun with it!
