Linens/Bridesmaid Dresses

Lindy, on May 4, 2011 at 8:01 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

Alright, we are having a camo theme.

We had decided to have our linens the following colors: brown, green, latte (beige-ish) with burlap runners. The bridesmaid dress is going to be chocolate brown. The lady doing our linens thinks it is BAD that the bridesmaid dress will be the same color as one of the linens. I don't think it will matter that much since there are other colors involved. Opinions please, this planning crap is getting overwhelming LOL!

    I agree with her, I'm sorry. if you make the brown for the table different then the brown for the dress and you should have a problem.... like do more of a coffee brown for one and a milk chocolate for the other.... have you looked into camo linens? that might just solve everything

    what size tables?

    Http://www.bridesvillage.com/camo-wedding.html other camo things you might like... sorry I was trying to find some camo linnens for you but no such luck but i did have another idea! instead of burlap runners... why don't you go to jo anns and get some camo fabrick and make camo runners and then do the table cloths in like latte and green they always have camo fabric on sale too cause it's not that popular

    What does YOUR dress look like... That is more important. They will be standing next to you in a ceremony.

    There are very few pictures taken of the Bridal Party at the reception. They do not Pose with the tables! The reception is all about you and hubby, your first dances, cake cutting, etc.

    What color did she suggest, just curious?

    I think it is PERFECT that your brides maids are going to go with the tables and the venue.

    What if they had black dresses? Would she tell you that you couldn't have black linens?

    Torie - I am far from DIY. To actually find camo is difficult. We are going with colors in the camo to avoid overkill anyways. I like your ideas - I just can't DIY.

    Hayley - here is a link to MY Smiley smile Dress http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=a8357846-4291-43fd-bbf8-5dfbde24346e&categoryID=32e5a88c-cbf1-498f-afcf-dbfca138c5d3&pg=3&colorId1=

    She didn't suggest a different color for linens - she suggested I go with Sage for a bridesmaid dress, but that isn't what we decided to do.

    I agree with Hayley. My colors are navy blue and apple green, and my girls are wearing navy and we're also having navy overlays. It will be fine.. go with what you want!
