    My one FBIL will love you.

    You can totally make it fall themed. Blue BM dresses with oranges flowers (very fall); name the tables after players (i love my Gary Fencik); walk in to the super bowl shuffle. How fun!!!

    You could do a football toss instead of chinking glasses to get you guys to kiss, hehe.

    Chicago Girl here too!! I would do navy bridal party, and groomsmen in gray or black with orange pocket squares. Orange flowers in the bouquets, and possibly navy overlays with fall flowers in centerpiece?

    mostly my advice would be to focus on navy, and add accents of orange

    I have nothing to add other than Da Bears! I love all the Chicago ladies here, makes me miss home. Stupid packer country. Absolutely walk in to the super bowl shuffle. Best idea ever.

    We actually walked in to Chelsea Dagger it was great

    Very nice! You should try incorporating the Chicago bears jeresy into your wedding.

    Ugh... the Bears! J/K... I don't live too horribly far from Chicago so there are a lot of Bears fans in my area, including FH.

    I think doing a subtle theme would be fun, but you'll have to walk a line so it doesn't become cheesy. Having blue and orange as your wedding colors and walking in to the Super Bowl Shuffle are fun; I think having jerseys or actual team logos goes to far.

    I would do mostly navy, with orange flowers. I wouldn't overdo it with the orange.

    Lots of cute ideas on Pinterest too if you enter "Chicago Bears wedding" like these invites. We're huge Yankees fans which is sort of where the navy in my wedding came into play, but I'm not actually have any logos or pin stripes. Just navy dresses and ties.

    For dresses I would definitely do this and have the guys either in grey or black suits/tuxes with either alternating vests or ties between orange and navy (just make sure the orange compliments the flowers)!

    Are the jerseys for just you two, the whole bridal party or just the groomsmen? Honestly if it wasn't for the fact you would have to get it over your head after getting ready in the jersey would be super awesome!

    You could also always do a fun bridal party or groomsmen picture with the guys or all of you in jerseys, but only for a couple pictures.

    If it is just the two of you I think the best way to incorporate them is with your engagement pictures.

    Oh also if you are doing a garter toss put the garter on a football with the bears logo! Smiley laugh If you don't want it to be cheese I think if you stick with a more toned down orange for any decorations, if you do the logo keep it subtle either weathered/ or distressed with worn out colors or more like a watermark on any decorations. Although I love the ribbons from purple kitten I would probably pass on those.

    Also if your doing fun photos or photo booths you should definitely get some Ditka 'staches and shades for the ultimate bears tribute Smiley laugh and you could incorporate jerseys in there! OH or a helmet! After a few drinks I would definitely want to rock one of those for some funny photos!
