Medieval Wedding – Take your guests back to another time
The couple and attendants should dress in period costumes
For food you could have a carving board, featuring a variety of roasts and other hearty foods.
You can even do the traditional medieval “hand fasting” ritual – The couple face each other, cross arms and hold hands. The best man then ties their hands with a ribbon so that they form the sign for “infinity” while reciting their vows.
Christmas Wedding – What a magical time of year!
The bride can wear a white velvet gown, red cape, and a white fur muff.
Bridesmaids can be dressed in red or white velvet.
For music you can play festive Christmas music. A cute idea would be to have children pass out song sheets and have a Christmas carol -sing-a-long.
For decorations you can use poinsettias, holly and pinecones for centerpieces. A sparkling Christmas tree will put your guests in a festive mood.
The bride can carry holly and gold painted pomegranates. While the bridesmaids carry holly wreaths with tiny silver bells.
Cute Christmas tree ornaments make nice party favors.
Harvest Weddings – Great for Fall Weddings
Decorate your reception hall in cranberry, pumpkin, deep greens, and sables.
For centerpieces use cornucopias with overflowing fruits and vegetables. Pumpkins and gourds also make cute centerpieces. You could cut out the pumpkins for flowers.
The bride could carry autumn flowers and leaves.
Serve comfort food such as a Thanksgiving style-buffet.

Mounted horse fancy dress?
I am thinking of doing a mounted fancy dress competition with my bay horse. But i’m stuck for ideas. However i thought i could be a crow and will could be a scarecrow? Does that sound good? And how would i go about dressing us up as a scarecrow and crow?? Any more ideas? Please
Thanks
Thats a really cool idea!!! For him, you could get some extra extra EXTRA large overalls and put them on your horse (my friend did this for Halloween and it was soo cool!) and buy a funny looking straw hat for him and cut holes for his ears. Get some fake corn and put it in some of the overalls pockets. You could also braid his mane and tail and tie them off with plaid bows. Then you could use Elmer’s glue (it won’t take his hair off and comes off easy) and glue some of these fake crows over his hip.. http://www.anytimecostumes.com/costumes/bird.html
Now, I couldn’t find a crow outfit, but you could always dress up as a chicken! http://www.anytimecostumes.com/ecommerce/control/product/~product_id=02186508
Another idea is you and you horse can be knights! But you will have to know how to sew to make these: http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5683.htm?tab=list/costumes&page=all

Or you can be a parrot, and your horse can be a pirate..He could have a pirate hat with fake dreadlocks hanging off it, and you could sit on a red or crimson or deep purple fake velvet sheet of fabric, with a white slightly larger sheet underneath that. You could tie fake gold coins in his mane and throughout his tail.
Yet ANOTHER idea is to be a princess (I’m just guessing you are a girl 
), and he could be a carriage horse. I’m not really sure how much your budget is, so this one might be a tad bit overboard:P

And you could buy him a harness headstall with blinkers, and you could curl his tail by bathing him, putting his tail in curlers, spraying it with hairspray (a lot of it!) and letting it dry and set for a while. Then take them out and don’t brush through it! I saw a drill team from California do this with all of there Horses and it looked really nice! Then you could just braid his mane and tie it off with silvery bows, and paint his hooves with this: http://www.twinkleglitter.com/Prod-TOES.html
Hope I helped!!!
