Golf Wedding Theme Ideas

The key to pulling off a coordinated event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that theme is as general as a season or a feeling, or as specific as a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu, cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Then, get as creative as you can! Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Location: The par-fect location for a golf-theme wedding and reception is a golf course or country club. If you plan to have your wedding and reception outdoors, be sure to have a back-up plan in case the weather doesn't cooperate. Other locations to consider: mini-golf course, garden or park.

Colors: Shades of green, white with splashes of yellow or red.

Invitations

Your Wedding begins with the par-fect Invitation.

For your Golf Wedding theme use the "Love On the Greens" Invitation ( EA8149-227), A vivaciously animated wedding couple hits the links! This animated cartoon will alert everyone to the fun ahead at your wedding & reception. All pieces are printed on bright white vellum paper. 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" . You can also imprint napkins with a (GGB - Golf Couple) design & your wedding date. Click Here

Attire

Encourage guests to wear golf attire. Do a retro golf wedding and have everyone dress in the golf attire of prior decades 20s, 30s, 40s and etc.

Bride

Choose a wedding gown that is more of a summer style (i.e. A-line, Sheath, with a summer style neckline {i.e. Halter, Sleeveless, Spaghetti Strap, or Strapless) and with a detachable train or without a train for a formal wedding. Make sure your dress has lots of pearls to represent tiny golf balls.

Carry a large nosegay Bridal Bouquet of white roses (to resemble a golf ball) with lots of ivy encircling the bouquet and then trailing down almost to the floor.

Bridesmaides

Bridesmaids similar attire summer style dresses (i.e. A-line, Sheath, with a summer style neckline {i.e. Halter, Sleeveless, Spaghetti Strap, or Strapless}) & headpieces with pearls.

Groom, Groomsmens, Dads & Ringbearer

Dress the Ringbearer up to look like a golf caddy. Knickers, sleeveless sweater vest, long shirt & cap.

Pin wide ribbon around the base of several sheets of wheatgrass (available at health food stores & floral suppliers), tuck 1 or 2 daisies or other flowers inside a water tube, stick the water tubes down into the grass to create a greens-themed tabletop. This can be done as a long runner down the center of a banquet table or cut sheets into small squares and place in the center of round tables.

Pew bows could have small round white flower balls attached to them.

Ice Sculptures of golf bag & clubs or golf balls with flowers inside.

Use clear golf bag tags as napkin rings. On one side, put the person or event your party is honoring. On the other side, print the date and the occasion of your party. Allow each guest to take their golf bag tag home.

Use placecards with a floral design, glue two upside down Golf Tees to each placecard, or you could use a Full Sized Wrapped Chocolate Golf Ball as a placecard & favor.

An alternative to the unity candle! Simply fill the two, 7 3/4" tall decanters with craft sand (sold separately) in single colors that represent the bride and groom. During the ceremony, the bride and groom pour sand from their decanters into a larger, 10 3/4" tall decanter. Decanters will be engraved with one initial each to display your married monogram.

We love using real Sand for decorative projects. With this jar, you'll always have clean sand on hand for all of your crafty needs. Try pouring some in a bowl to secure candles, as shown, creating a sandtrap centerpiece.

Place a Wedding Tee Bag Kit or a Golf Lover's Cellophane Favor Bag Kit on top of a folded cloth napkin at each place setting.
