When the bride or groom works as a firefighter, the wedding theme can revolve around the profession. There are many ways to incorporate a fireman wedding theme, from planning through execution. The theme can be incorporated into wedding attire, location, the reception, the cake and many other parts of the ceremony and celebration.
Attire
Most brides will want to wear a traditional wedding gown, but they may choose to have red accents on their gown or as part of their bridal bouquet. The remainder of the wedding party can employ the firefighter theme in their attire, with the groom and groomsmen wearing dress blue uniforms if they are professional firefighters. They also could carry, or even wear when appropriate, their firefighter boots and helmets.
Location
There is no better location for a fireman-themed wedding than a fire hall or fire station. Having the ceremony take place in the station may take some extra planning, cleaning and decorating, but it would make for a very memorable ceremony. Explore all options, such as renting plastic fire hydrants to set up along the aisle where the wedding party will enter. The wedding couple could also walk underneath an arch of fireman pikes, held by firefighters in dress blues or full working uniforms.
Cake
With a fireman wedding theme, the cake can add a great deal of fun and whimsy to the celebration. Consider a cake designed to resemble a burning building, with a plastic firefighter groom and bride standing on top. Another possibility is having a very traditional white cake, with a bride figurine standing on top and a toy ladder leading down the cake to a fire truck and the groom. To cut the cake in just the right fashion, use a small plastic fire ax.
Extra Touches
The ideas are nearly endless for a fireman wedding theme. For guest seating, use small toy fire trucks to stand behind the place cards. If you can find a friendly Dalmatian dog, which is the traditional firehouse dog, have the animal walk with the happy couple into the wedding reception. Fire ladders can be leaned against the walls at the reception and decorated with flowers or photos of the couple. Use firefighter boots as the depository for wedding cards and small gifts.
