Granny Mouse is the perfect venue destination to host weddings and, over the years, we have had many different and unique wedding themes. One that you may not even have considered is a denim wedding!<\/p>\n
If you think that\u00a0denim\u00a0is a very simple, every day type of fabric and that it definitely isn\u2019t for weddings, think again.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, denim\u2019s roots aren\u2019t exactly high end. In fact, denim was first used for clothes worn by workers because of its durability. Its name comes from the “serge de Nimes”, a fabric made in the French city of Nimes. It is most commonly associated with jeans, a type of cotton pants first produced in Genoa. The French called them “genes”.<\/p>\n
During the 1800s, during the Gold Rush, American gold miners needed clothes that were strong, lasted longer and did not tear easily. Levi Strauss, a businessman, and Jacob Davis, a tailor, supplied miners with denim pants that were reinforced with rivets at the places where pants tended to tear. This marked the beginning of the legend of jeans.<\/p>\n
Modern day denim has seen this fabric used for a plethora of different items \u2013 from jackets and waist coats to skirts and even shoes and hats. That makes denim the perfect choice not only for the wedding party but for a themed dress up wedding as everyone has denim in their wardrobes! If they don\u2019t, your wedding will be the perfect excuse to buy a pair of designer denims.<\/p>\n
For the wedding party, the idea is to dress up humble denim attire. The groom can wear a chambray shirt for a rustic or casual groom\u2019s look or go for a denim jacket with some personalizing. For a more relaxed feel, a denim jacket can be a casual cover up\u00a0or the perfect substitute for a usual blazer.<\/p>\n
Brides and\u00a0bridesmaids can cover up with denim jackets too. This is very trendy \u2013 especially as there are now a plethora of different shades and styles of denim. You can choose anything from bleached and ripped to distressed with the likes of white, blue, black, pink and many others to add some versatility.<\/p>\n
There are loads of cool and unique denim wedding details that will be perfect for every season.<\/p>\n
Those looking for a more casual take, can go full out with a cowboy or country theme. Decorations can be made out of old denim discards or even burlap. Collect tins, remove the labels and then decorate with denim and ribbons and use as vases for flowers, as an example. Country denim goes well with sunflowers, other wild flowers and wheat ears. Groomsmen can simply add bow ties and bandanas.<\/p>\n
If you want to turn things up a notch, ramp up the contrasts. Pair ultra-casual with ultra-glamorous, teaming a luxurious lace and satin wedding gown with denim accessories or a denim corset with a lace or net skirt.\u00a0 Denim looks great with lace trims and even vintage jewellery such as marquisate and pearls. Denim also pairs well with \u2018antique\u2019 roses and olde worlde bouquets \u2013 all finished off with ribbon and lace, of course.<\/p>\n
The good thing about including denim in decorations and favours is that you can make almost everything yourself. Collect up friends\u2019 and family members\u2019 cast offs or even buy and recycle items bought at jumble sales and charity shops. Use denim jeans for cushions that can be placed on chairs or even used for seated photographs. Upcycle cast offs into table mats, using pockets to slip in serviettes or a little gift for each guest and add the odd diamante or sequin for a little extra glitter.<\/p>\n
