Today I am MADLY in love with these shoes:

Looking for Camo wedding planning ideas? Check out our Camo Wedding Category.

These are the ones I picked (I will share those another time) but if you’re having a camo wedding, consider checking out these ! Did I mention they were $9?

I absolutely love veils with colored trims. It adds a nice touch to an otherwise traditional look. This is very unique, with a mossy oak camo print trim! It’s a great example of a unique theme done very tastefully! It still looks very elegant but with a kick to it:)

Here’s a cute gift idea for a ring bearer – even if you aren’t having a camo wedding! It’s a camouflage print t-shirt with “Official Ring Guard” on the front. Little guys will LOVE this! I remember when my son was a ring bearer, he was SO proud that he got to “be in charge”. After all, a wedding can’t happen without the rings so he is the most important part of the ceremony. (We didn’t bother to tell him that his versions were just fakes, lol)

Price wise, it’s a great gift at only $18!!

Okay – the instant I saw these candle tins, I loved them! They are romantic and elegant but still very unique! This is the yellow version, which would work best for a traditional camo print – but the butterfly print is also available in pink, purple and blue.

To start us off – here are some cute camouflage flip flops that combine camouflage bows with a little bit of sparkle. I love it, perfect for dancing the night away.

First let me say that I HAVE seen it done – and while it can look VERY redneckish if done wrong – I have also seen it done right and it looks very funky and quite beautiful! The key is to go easy on the amount of actual camo you use – use camo as an accent and have the main colors be colors in the camo. The reason using to much camo becomes tacky is because it, like any print – is way to busy to be used on a large scale.

For example, go with a beautiful chocolate brown and cargo green color combo. Have the bridesmaids in chocolate brown gowns with green sashes and carry simple cream colored roses. Also, an ivory or cream gown may be better then a a white gown for yourself as well. For a touch of camo – use hand-tied bouquets tied with a camo ribbon and then use camo ribbon for the guys boutineires as well. I would suggest avoiding the camo vest idea, unless you really like them. A more elegant look would be to have your fiance in a chocolate vest/tie and the groomsmen in the green color – with a touch of camo introduced through the flowers. I think you will find, looking at the pictures after, that is already a lot of print in a group of people.

For decorating – stick to solid colors in browns/greens/creams as much as possible but then add simple small touches of camo. For example: chocolate colored table clothes, green napkins, and cream colored dishes. For the centerpiece, a simple wrought iron lantern or a bouquet of cream colored roses would be pretty. Then, to bring in the theme – tie your favors with a camo print ribbon, create placecards that are cream colored with camo print borders, and add some camo print ribbon inthe centerpiece.

For invitations – here is a neat idea:
– you will need chocolate brown cardstock, cream colored cardstock and some camo print ribbon again. The invitation is made with the chocolate cardstock with the cream cardstock inside and the wording printed on the cream. When assembling, insert small pieces of ribbon between the two sheet at the top and bottom, then when you are done, the ribbon is used to tie the invitation shut.

Anyway – my key point would be to use the colors in the camo as your main colors – and use the actual print minimally as an accent. You will find that, because it is a print, it will stand out among the solids and a little bit put in with matching solids will have a very strong impact. The reason most camo weddings are tacky is because there is just TO MUCH of a good thing:)
