Camo can be a wedding theme for the right couple.
If the bride and groom are hunters, fishermen or members of the military, they may choose to have a Camo-themed wedding. With a camo-themed wedding, you want the camo to be subtle because the fabric combination is busy. So, build your theme around the colors of camo. You can even do most of it yourself. Some websites and dressmakers offer camo-colored wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses.
Bride and Bridal Party
Some wedding dresses have camo-colored lace under the white dress and may also have a trim of camo material on the top. For your bridesmaids, choose a dark green dress with a chocolate brown sash or a chocolate brown dress with a green sash. For the flowers, you can hand-tie them with camo-colored ribbon. The groomsmen can have green or brown ties and cummerbund. The flower girl can carry green and brown petals. For the rings, you can hand-make the ring pillow out of camo-print fabric.
Tables
You can wrap camo-colored fabric around your vase and fasten the fabric using a glue gun. Place fresh or fake flowers in the vases, such as sunflowers, black-eyed Susan's, or daffodils. For table cloths, use a cream-colored table cloth and place a smaller table cloth on top in chocolate brown or dark green. Or you can have chocolate brown table clothes with cargo green napkins.
Alternate Considerations
For your place cards, use cream-colored place cards with a camo trim and use a camo ribbon to tie a bow through holes at the top of the card. A wrought iron lantern with cream-colored roses inside would bring more camo colors to your table. Another centerpiece idea is lining a chocolate brown-colored basket with camo fabric. Inside the basket, you can place one-time-use cameras for your guests to take pictures (these also come in camo colors). For a more woodsy theme, you could drill holes in a log and places candles in the holes.
Favors
If you are giving out traditional mesh candy bags, you can use a camo-colored ribbon to tie them off. You could also put a votive candle in a green or brown mesh mini-bag. If it's a military wedding, consider having dog tags with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date made for your guests. If it's a hunting-inspired wedding, give out a mini bow and arrow with the names on the arrow. Or, if your theme is fishing, consider inscribed fishing bobbers.
