Fourth of July Wedding Themes
The Fourth of July has been a symbol of independence in the United States for more than two centuries. Pairing a day of love for one another, the marriage of two people and an idea of forever bliss with a holiday representing a love for our country, the marriage of liberty and democracy, and an idea of forever freedom go hand in hand. Celebrate this momentous occasion by incorporating Fourth of July themes into your wedding day.
-
Fireworks
-
Imagine the faces of your guests as the miraculous display of fireworks places a memorable close to your special day. Bridal bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres are enhanced with baby's breath and Winter Starbursts, also known as the "Fireworks Flower." Guests will line the exit path to your getaway car holding extra-long sparklers while wishing you the very best in your life together.
Americana
-
Stars and stripes invade your wedding with a Fourth of July Americana theme. Red, white and blue bridesmaid's dresses and matching groomsmen vests create a festive fashion while centerpieces include the tri-colored American flag appreciating freedom. Include an American-themed entrance song while the master of ceremonies announces your arrival into the reception room. These ideas will add pride and a celebratory touch to your wedding.

Military Wedding Theme
-
A military themed wedding pays tribute to the friends and family serving our country and allowing the United States citizens the life we often take for granted. The military groom will be adorned is his formal military attire opposed to a traditional tuxedo while holding the arm of his new bride. Just after kissing the bride, the newlyweds will be graced with an arch of swords to pay respect in this Fourth of July themed wedding.
Casual Barbecue Wedding
-
For those interested in a more informal wedding, a Fourth of July barbecue is just the ticket. Barbecued flank steak, brisket, grilled vegetables and husked corn compose a high-end picnic-type menu. Decorate with floral arrangements consisting of red roses, blue hydrangeas and white orchids for a festive Fourth of July feel to your wedding.
