There are so many options when doing a firefighter-themed wedding. Depending on your style and budget, you can add subtle elegant effects to the wedding or dramatic effects. You can even have your wedding at the fire hall for the ultimate firefighter theme. It helps if you can pull a few strings to use some gear and real equipment from the firehouse as props.
Décor
Decorate the isle with fire hydrants at each row of seats, and drape tulle and flowers from the hydrants. Have the groomsmen dressed in full fireman gear or have them wear fire hats. The wedding dress can have a red sash or accents on it and bridesmaids can wear red accented attire. Bouquets and boutonnieres can be made using flowers in red and orange shades. Roses and calla lilies are both available in a deep orange shade that becomes a bright red at the tips. If you have, or know someone who has, a well-mannered dalmatian, strap a pillow to his back and use him as the ring bearer.
The Exit
After the bride and groom are married, they can walk down the isle under an arch of pike poles held by the groomsmen. Get approval to use a fire truck to take the bride and groom away after they are married instead of a limo. Decorate it with white flowers and ribbons for an elegant effect, or drape it in toilet paper and write on it in shoe polish for a traditional wedding getaway car effect. They can climb up on the back of the fire truck and wave goodbye to the guests as they depart.
Reception Food
Serve food that has a fire and ice theme at the reception. Make a fire and ice punch by soaking red hots in clear or a red colored soda until they dissolve. Add mint flavor for the cooling, menthol, effect. Serve wings that are coated in extreme spicy sauce and a vegetable platter that has a cooling cucumber ranch. Just a touch of mint flavor creates a cooling effect in any food. If you are planning a formal sit down dinner, subtle fire and ice can be added into sauces and sides. For example, roast beef served with horseradish chili sauce and cooling apricot lime aioli is a great dish. Asian cuisine is an easy style in which to use both spicy and cooling effects.
Cake Design
Order a fire hydrant or firehouse groom's cake. For a dramatic effect, the cake can be black with fire coming from the bottom and a firehouse on top. If you can find a talented cake designer, a cake that looks like a fire hydrant is the ultimate firefighter cake. Put a fireman cake topper on your wedding cake. These are available at most cake topper stores. There are many options with both the bride and groom wearing fireman attire or only the groom.
