African Theme Wedding.
|
Can't go to Africa for your wedding? Don't worry—you will have brought Africa to your venue when we are done setting this! Your destination wedding theme is just minutes away of getting set.
Let's start working and get the party started!
Getting ready for the big day
What is your first approach to the African theme wedding?
You guessed it—the wedding invitation!
Use a classy wedding invitation that shows a bride and groom.
Yes, this is a unique theme, but what makes it unique is the environment. Traditional African couples have very classy, formal invitations; so don't resist, and go with the flow.
Setting the scene
For this theme, you want to recreate the environment of the African jungle. With that said, an outdoor wedding will be perfect, and an evening wedding will make it even more attractive, intriguing and romantic.
Decorate with bamboo stakes and
giant jungle butterflies
.
If your celebration is indoors, recreate the african atmosthphere with
Palm Horizon Backdrop
.
A classic flower arrangement will bring a delicate and romantic effect to the table.
However, if you are looking for something unique for your theme wedding, what better item than a
Metallic Palm Tree Centerpiece
and if you have an evening celebration, you kill two birds with one stone, due to the tea light candle.
The food
Fabulous food is synonymous with an African wedding!
Roasted chicken, marinated lamb spare ribs, and roast brisket with mustard sauce are some options for your main dish.
Sides such as eggplant or tomato chutney, butternut squash, corn on the cob with wild spinach, baked sweet potatoes, roasted pumpkin and yellow rice are some of the cultural options.
And the sweets? Tropical fruit salads, coconut flan, lemon and custard tarts, profiteroles with vanilla mousse—I don't know about you, but I am getting hungry just thinking about this sweets table!
A black forest cake is the perfect example of African cake, and you can even have it as your wedding cake!
If you are having this type of wedding for cultural reasons or heritage, you may want to add some African wedding traditions to your celebration.
Ask your family if they have any family traditions, or just use the classic African traditions.
