Need of Camouflage and Teal dresses

Please tell me that you are buying your BMs their dresses - because there is ZERO chance that they will wear those again.

But to answer your question: maybe call a hunting store, or a prom store.

Quick google search come up with camoformal.com

I may get a lot of heat for this, but okay.

The big thing on this site is "we're blunt not rude" or "we want to help people not make breeches of etiquette so they don't receive side eye from their guests". Okay. Bluntness is good. Etiquette is great.

Is camo my style? No. Would I wear it to my wedding? No. But these comments go past helping her know about etiquette and they go past being blunt. This person is literally being picked apart for her dress choice and because why? It's not your taste? How would you guys feel if a bunch of people made fun of your dress or called your dress "hideous" or made fun of your wedding choices? In this post, she isn't mentioning anything that goes against etiquette- I saw someone mention self catering from what I assume is another post, but in THIS post she isn't going against etiquette so why is she being torn apart?

@WeddingBelle, Im having the same reaction as you. Camo is not my style, and clearly not the style of most people here. But that doesn't make it okay to tear it apart. Would y'all make any of these statements on a typical "yes to the dress" post if you didn't like the dress?

Well damn belle you hit me in the feels with that one. Some of us were mean. But I THINK it has more to do with this being a one star poster with no avatar. Most think this is a troll.

Quite honestly, I've rarely seen the people on these forums even be this rude to an obvious troll.

Maybe she is a troll, maybe she isn't. If she isn't, there is a real person, planning a real wedding on the other side of the screen and she's being picked apart and was literally told her dress is hideous. Just some food for thought. I doubt anyone here wants to be told their dress is hideous just because they don't have an avatar photo and only have one star.

Maybe some feel like they are trying to save her the embarrassment. However, people who usually have camo dresses, have guests who are.... Like them. So I guess she won't be side eyed. The majority of the world would though.

OP, is that your dream dress that you're looking to find or have you already found it?

I agree I would get quite a few questions if I walked out in a camo gown, but I don't wear it. I'm sure if she is considering a camo gown that she wears camo on a somewhat regular basis so it wouldn't totally shock her guests and you're right, it's probably safe to say that people in her circle also wear it.

No one was saving her from embarrassment though. I'm sure some of these comments did do just that - embarrass her.

@O&L, that photo is actually kinda cute.

@Bobbe J, you might have your work cut out for you, but I am not going to say that this will be impossible. What do your bridesmaids think of this?

I'm with WeddingBelle on this one. While AlmostMrsE has a point that some here may think they're saving her from embarrassment, there's definitely a fine line between an honest critique and just being mean. Just because it's not your taste doesn't mean she should be picked apart for it. We all want to feel like the best version of ourselves on our wedding day; the dress that I feel most comfortable in she may find absolutely hideous, but that's okay because at the end of the day, she's not the one wearing it.

That being said, she also very well could be a troll but hey, wouldn't be the first and won't be the last.

And with that being said, check Etsy. Maybe they can customize something for you.

Is anyone else going to come back and respond to belle lol? My comment wasn't that bad and she still hit me in the feels.

I have seen photos of many a camouflaged wedding in my area. It is not my cup of tea, but in some places that is a style that people like. Don't make fun of her just because you don't like it.

OP come back! We want to help!

Oh ok.

When you put it out there in a public forum you are subject to feedback from the public. Good and bad. Positive and negative. This is the chance you take when you hit that button that says submit. Personally, if that is what she is wearing it's of no concern to me, it's her wedding not mine.

How many bridesmaids are you having? Have they seen the dress?!

While camo isn't necessarily my cup of tea I worked with a girl who had a camo wedding dress. She loved her dress and it made her feel great! They matched his vest to her dress. They used sunflowers and burlap. Overall, I was surprised. It was cute. Again, not my taste...but she loved it.

I found this dress on Etsy, not sure if it's something you would want to use as a bridesmaid dress if you can't find another option. Its made by KDCamoandLace.

Good luck in your hunt and the rest do your wedding planning! Remember, the "it's your day" mentality doesn't apply in many areas, but it does apply to your dress choice. I hope you find the gown you feel most beautiful and confident in, whether it's camo or not, and whether anyone else likes it or not.

I do suggest asking your bridesmaids how they feel about a camo dress and taking their thoughts into consideration as you continue with your plans. If they don't want a camo dress maybe go with teal dresses and camo belts? Again, I wish you the best and congrats on your engagement!
