Answer 2

When the brides groom is walking down the wedding aisle, she can throw gold coins instead of flowers/ petals.

Hire a Jack Sparrow impersonator to come and entertain guests... on second thought... that could go either way.

Alter your attire to fit a more pirated theme, such as wearing an eye patch or something similar to that.

For the refreshments, you could serve pirate-themed foods that you think they might drink/ eat... maybe even rum...

I'm not really sure... just let your mind go wild. I hope these spark some ideas for you.

Answer 3

Go to the web site for The oriental trading company, click on wedding favors. They have chocolate coins in gold and/or silver wrappers. They also have bead necklaces and gem rings under the Mardi Gras section(pirates loved their treasure). These would be good favors for the reception. Do a nautical theme. Your colors should be darker/bold (no pastels for pirates). Think a moonlit ceremony (pirates were more active @ night) along a pond/lake/beach (for obvious reasons) with a tealight lit path to walk down barefoot, in a soft flowing dress. Sounds romantic!!! Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Let's see here...you'll obviously need daggers and swords which I believe you can get from the toy section of almost any dollar store. the pirate attire you could acquire from a local costume shop. bandannas in all colors can be found at Michael's or Jo-Ann fabrics. Depending on the formality of you reception you could use boats as centerpieces with table #s painted on the sails. Oh...make your dad point a sword in your back down the aisle and your fiance' give your dad a bag full of what looks like coins (make them the chocolate coins) kinda like a dowry (sp?). I would watch some old pirate movies to get more ideas, but that's all I've got without doin a bunch of research. Good Luck and be creative! You've already got the basics with the theme :D!

Answer 6

Instead of releasing of the doves at the end you can release the parrots. Under your gown you can wear buckled boots and have a sheath in your garter. You might even be able to find white high thigh boots. The groom could wear a pirate inspired hat, and perhaps you could find or make a white version of one. Instead of a money tree you could have a teasure chest that people could put their money gifts in. You could do a reel for the first dance, as that was a popular thing back then. Bags of dabloons or chocolate coins could be used as guest favors. Good luck, sounds like fun.

Answer 7

You should get married on like a cruise ship or a boat, and have it decked out and themed according to your colors. Also have everyone dress up in like pirate outfits!

Answer 8

It's your wedding and should be however you want it. If you need ideas on how to have a pirate themed wedding, you could consult a wedding planner and they could assist you with that. Good luck and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Answer 9

Seriously....Find a Costume shop where you can rent your attire. You can find an outdoor location near water whether it is a rather large lake or beach. You can create you invites on tattered paper such as a treasure map with the X marking the spot of the location. If you would like you can email me at [e-mail] I have lots more Ideas.

Answer 10

Carry a pirates hat of flowers, and walk the plank instead of the aisle.
