One of the great things about marriage that is if you do not want to then you do not need to follow the age old tradition of white wedding that was almost certainly the custom for your parents and grandparents. Today you can do almost anything you want on your special day, and the more visible one practice is to choose a theme for your wedding.

When you choose, you can always "mix and match" with a very much traditional religious or civil ceremony, followed by an anything but traditional reception. There is maybe one tradition that you will want to have at your reception and that is the wedding cake as very important for the decoration of the wedding party.

You maybe also want to hold on to the habit of cutting the wedding cake together in front of your guests and share with them. But how do you maintain this tradition and does not end with the reception that the good things the other one? You need to do is to create a wedding cake that match your wedding theme and, perhaps even adapting to the cake-cutting ceremony so that also follows your chosen theme.

So, let's say you are both avid fans of the good old Western movie and decide that you want guests to dress up as Cowboys and to hold your reception in a Wild West saloon. Clearly, you can rent a costume from the local fancy dress shop, choose a location that is suitable for the reception and decorate it according to match the theme.

About the cake, just let your imagination run riot. How about a cake in the form of a totem pole, or a hut or what about the beautiful old fortress or southern plantation house? The possibilities are endless and, whatever you choose, your guests are sure to be talking about this long after the party ended.

And always remember to crown your cake with suitable western wedding cake toppers. How do the models dressed in bride and groom as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara? Again you are limited only by your imagination and you will find that there are a lot of western wedding cake toppers to choose as a whole industry growing rapidly around supplying nothing but cake toppers these days.

Whether you choose to depart from tradition for the wedding ceremony, there is no reason at all why you should not have a reception of your own choosing, according to the personality and style of your life and give you the opportunity for you to truly celebrate the wedding as you want.
