Western Decorating Ideas

Residing in Texas, our consultants have produced hundreds of Western Events from birthday parties to weddings to large galas. The ideas for decorating for a western event are endless.

If your planning a small event at home, start by decorating your tables with Western Tableware (plates, napkins, cups, tablecovers) and fun table accents like: Boot Cup 12oz
 and LED Cowboy Boot Mug  that will light up your drinks.  Add a few western decoration and favors and your ready to have some boot scootin fun.

If your planning a larger event we have compiled some of our favorite ideas to help you get your creative juices flowing.

Welcome Guests:

Your guests arrive to a ‘meet/greet’ by the Sheriff and an entourage of costumed ‘Dollies’ who’ll outfit your guests with Stetsons, bandanas, a cold longneck and escort them into the main saloon.

• Create a dramatic entryway of limestone arches and cedar fencing draped with saddles and ranch blankets.
• Hang a personalized western banner at the entrance to your event location.
• If your event is outdoors, hang Red Hurricane Lanterns (available in sporting goods stores) from rustic wood fence posts around the perimeter of your party area.
