Hey There!

We would like to have an "outdoorsy" feel to our wedding and i'm having a hard time settling on colours.  My fiance would like to wear camo, so we thought a vest and a lighter brown/grey suit would look nice...  I'm having a hard time choosing a color for my bridesmaid dresses.. I have fallen in love with the mismatch colors of different tones of brown... and green.  Should the boys wear orange ties? Orange bouquets? 

I'm a little confused and really stuck!  Does anyone have any ideas or pictures they can share?

Thanks! :)

    There's actually a super old post about camo on this board -- just a few posts down, so check it out!

    I love the mismatched colors idea, but I'm not a fan of brown.  I also wonder whether camo plus the orange ties would bring Halloween to your wedding (unless you want Halloween, which sounds awesome!).  Would you be open to camo vests, mismatched green dresses, and brown ties with brownish/greenish/woodsy bouquets?  In case you're interested, here are some pics I found:

    This Pinterest features bridesmaids in camo dresses + orange ribbon: http://pinterest.com/ashleewitt/country-camo-wedding-3/

    And a few of these girls have dresses on that might fit it with a camo wedding, especially if the guys are in grey suits!! http://greenweddingshoes.com/elegant-rustic-california-ranch-wedding-dana-joel/

    Good luck!  Give us pic updates! :)

    p.s. I'm leaning toward the last link!  You could have a little camo, some lightly colored dresses, and then you could do whatever you wanted with the bouquets.  Btw, this is so different from my wedding and has seriously piqued my interest!

    Hey! Thank you soo much for your help! I appreciate it! :) I've been stuck on the brown dresses for a couple days because of the fall feel. Since I want it more outdoorsy for the summer, I'm starting to lean toward mismatching shades of green. :) definitely brown in the decor, woods and stuff. And I'm thinking whites. Once it starts coming together if it needs a pop I'm thinking maybe throwing in some yellow orrrrr maybe orange (but just a little bit?) I definitely think they should wear a camo vest. Since it will be an outdoor ceremony, I'm hoping we can find a nice lighter brown suit for the guys?
