Music for a redneck-themed wedding

Your big day is just around the corner, but your budget is not so high. What do you do? Try a redneck-themed wedding! This will help you save a lot of money. Redneck is a derogatory slang name used to refer to working class Southerners in the United States. It is originally used to denote poor, white farmers. The term also has some synonyms depending on the area such as: cracker in Georgia and Florida, hillbilly in Appalachia and white trash.

The redneck is derived from the people having a red neck caused by working in the sun. According to an 1893 citation rednecks are “poorer inhabitants of the rural districts, men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin burned red by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks”.

A redneck wedding is a good opportunity for your guests to enjoy themselves in a relaxed atmosphere. It can also be a very original event. Even the newlyweds are to be relaxed because there will not be much pressure on them to impress their wedding guests.

The redneck wedding attire can be made of a tuxedo jacket with no sleeves for the groom and a white wedding dress, with a top that’s too tight or cut too low for the bride. The bride can also wear a red and white checkered blouse. In that way, both bride and groom will be in the true redneck spirit.

In designing the redneck invitations you can keep your theme by misspelling some words, by writing them in pencil or red pen, and by even putting a few grease stains on them. Ask your guests to dress accordingly to the wedding theme.

A redneck wedding location should be definitely outdoors and decorated accordingly. Speaking about redneck weddings decorations, these can vary from outlandishly tacky to rustic and Western items. Port-a-potties, arbors made of beer cans or a tub full of ice for the wedding drinks are ideal. The wedding path can be marked with used tires and the newlyweds can make their grand entrance on horseback, on tractors or on a hay truck.

When it comes to music for a redneck wedding, you can hire a band with a fiddle player. This will add a backwoods touch to the wedding theme. When looking for music you may consider some artists such as: Gretchen Wilson, Luke Bryan, George Strait, Zac Brown Band or Garth Brooks.
