Instructions

Plan a Firefighter Theme Wedding

1. Choose a color scheme for your fire fighter theme wedding. For a regular firefighter theme wedding you would probably want to use a combination of the colors red, yellow, black and white. For a vintage firefighter theme the color scheme could be a deeper, antique red, black, ivory, and beige or a deep country blue.

2. Find a location for your wedding and reception. Ideally for a firefighter theme wedding a fire station or fire hall would be perfect. Some fire halls allow rentals for special occasions, especially if they have a large room used for meetings or dinners. Even if you cannot rent out a fire station for your wedding, the creative planning and decorating of any area can be made to fit your theme.

3. Search for transportation. It would be great to have a fire truck drive you to your wedding location or from your wedding to your reception but a fire station may not be able to do this since they never know when they may need a truck. If you or your fiancé is a firefighter, you might be able to arrange this easily. Perhaps you may not get one of the big trucks, but you may get one of the vehicles. If the fire department has rules against personal use of the vehicles you may want to check your area for specialty rental services. Some places have unique vehicles for rental other than your basic limos. Other options include renting a nice red truck or car; maybe you could even find a red limo.

4. Start shopping for accessories. Look in craft stores for bright red materials that you can use to make your own. Also look in vintage shops and thrift stores.

5. Get creative, If your budget does not allow for buying a lot of decorations for your firefighter theme wedding you can creatively incorporate color and the things you have as decorations. Ask around to those who may be, or know, a firefighter. Perhaps you can find a ceramic hydrant, retired helmets, a hose, some tools, and plenty of fire trucks, figurines, and wall hangings. Any of those things can be used as decorations. Most fire fighter things have a masculine aura. You can soften them and add a feminine touch by pairing fire items up with ivy, flowers, strands of lights or maybe even some ribbon or lace.

6. Include the wedding wardrobe in the theme. Using the colors red, white, black, and yellow can convey your theme. Have the women in the bridal party wear red or yellow dresses. The men should all wear black tuxes with accessories that match the bridesmaids’ attire. Add small fire fighter charms to your flower girl basket, garter and ring bearer pillow.
