Help with wedding planning!

Question

so me and my boyfriend are from a very rural area and we both love to hunt. He desperately wants to have camouflage vests and and he wants me to have orange brides maid dresses. and I love the idea but what kind of table colors, centerpiece's, and decoration should we have...Thanks for the advice!

Answer 1

Hi.  You will have a very bright wedding!

For the table covers:  I would go with a white linen.  You don't want too much color.

Then, for the centerpieces:  You could bring in some "orange" if you want in the form of flowers in a vase, or candles.  Or, stick with greens and browns.  You don't want to make it look "Halloweenish."

For the girls flowers:  If they are wearing orange dresses, remember that you don' want orange flowers too!  That would blend in.  What you want is an accent.  Go with some green tone flowers and greenery.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I would have the underneath tablecloth be a khaki or tan (the tan that is in the camo patterns) and the top one be that army green and you could have the centerpieces made with branches (like in a vase) and hang cryastals from them (that way it will still be a little feminine) I am not a big fan of a camo wedding but I think that would look kind of nice. it will be what your FH wants with a little girly flare added in.

For the bridesmaids I definitely recommend a burnt orange color. I think that the burnt orange will compliment the green/brown/tan camouflage. Maybe you could get a color like this:

What is your budget in regards to centerpieces, decorations, etc? Do you want floral centerpieces? Candles? There are lots of things that you can do.

For the tables I would do a nice hunter or olive green color for the table clothes. Or you can alternate every other table with brown and green tablecloths.

For the centerpieces you could use something with fall leaves and candles - here are a few ideas that might work well with your colors:

You also could consider using twig or branch centerpieces. They would go well with an outdoorsy/hunting theme:

If you like to hunt here is a clever centerpiece:

I hope that this helps! Good luck with your wedding!

Answer 4

You could have green table colors (like leafy green), and you could have nature-themed centerpieces.....baskets with pinecones, fern branches, wild flowers.  Your boquet's could be more wild flower bunches.....

Answer 5

Say no to the orange bridesmaids.  Please.  Maybe a nice light apricot would be acceptable. The previous answer with the pine cone decorations sounds good. Maybe a touch of camo fabric - like on the buffet tablecloth.  Don't use any dead animals for decorations (like mounted deer or antlers - bad vibes.)  

Answer 6

well, so far this year I got married, my best friend got married, and my other best Friend is getting married in sept. so... all but mine ger camo.  the one friend had white table cloths, a purple table runner (a 12'-15" wide strip) with a 2'x2' square material (made from sheer mossy oak break up print)  the center of the tables.  in the middle of the camo square was a glass bowl with the gel like rocks at the bottom with a floating candle.  her arch that i did had sheer purple, and sheer camo kind of woven all the way up and back down.    the favor bags (about 4"x4" and were the same print, just regular material) with a ribbon to tie them closed, and there were 4 hershey kisses in them

any color really goes with camo.
