    Personally, if it meant a lot to my FI, I would go with camo accents, such as camo vests for the guys, maybe camo trim on crinoline, possibly as subtle trim on dress (I would not do a camo dress). Some brides have had a camo cake (maybe have a camo grooms cake?). You could make fabric flowers with a camo print for bouts. Personally, I'm not a big fan of camo (unless Andy Warhol is involved), but I think it can potentially be done tastefully, if in moderation. You could have the bridesmaids wear a camo sash.
    I think it is important to honor what your FI wants, but don't lose sight of your own vision for your wedding in the process. Compromise, have the dress you always imagined and add small camo accents to the wedding.

    Giggle. Camo is short for camoflague stuff that hunters wear.  It's ok. Most city folks and/or nonhunters get what camo means.  So don't feel bad.  I was in a tux shop where they had a really next camo tux jackets.  you could wear your dress and have like camo ribbon in the bouquets for yourself and the bridesmaids.  You could also decorate with the camo colors as a theme if youd like.  It can be pulled off! You just need to be creative!  Another idea is if your dress is all white you could get camo fabric and make a sash!

    I don't think anyone was unsure of what camo is.  OP seemed like she was unsure how to incorporate camo with the classier elements of a wedding, and everyone else was confused because OP did not word her question very clearly.

    My FI only had 2 requests for the entire wedding:
    1.  The Mossy Oak vest & tie



    2.  To have a chocolate layer in the cake

    And he got both.  The vest & tie do not match my colors, the groomsmen are wearing navy vest & tie and the only other touch of camo is my garter, which he has no idea about.
    Its his wedding too, and although I wasn't crazy about the camo vest & tie (and I did try to talk him out of it) I also haven't made a big deal out of it either.

    Fairy:  FI wants the camo vest and tie too...but the groomsmen will wear it too as well.  it kind of disrupts our color scheme (black and pink), but makes him happy.  I had to put my foot down when they all wanted to wear camo cowboy hats too:)

    LOL! Glad I'm not the only one that did put her foot down some.  His GM wanted to wear camo too but I really didn't want it.  I went to pick out the tux, vest & ties before they went to be measured.   OMG, I didn't know they made camo cowboy hats. :)
