    I would search etsy for bridesmaids dresses like that. I'm sure there are some handmade shops that can do that. Or maybe you could consider a tulle tea lenth tutu for them with a camo ribbon and then a solid color blouse However, you may want to make sure your bridesmaids are happy with this dress. Because it wouldnt be fair to make them pay for a dress they aren't happy with.

    That's not teal. That's royal blue.

    If this is what you want and your BM are willing, it's hardly up to me to judge it; I've never worn camo in my life. Try camoformal. All the formal camowear you could want for your special day.

    @weddingbelle and @beachdreams I totally agree. Would I ever wear a camo wedding dress? No. Should this bride be attacked for wearing one? No. It's ugly but it's not bad etiquette.

    Typically EVERYONE says that as far as the wedding dress is concerned, it's totally your choice. How come when it's camo it's different?

    I stand by what I said - it's a hot mess.

    I can't even tell you where to start looking for these, honestly.

    Edit: try looking at Etsy or somewhere like that.

    If you're going to do that camo dress, OP, that's not teal; that's royal blue.

    Try camoformal.com. You might be able to find something for your bridesmaids on there.

    Here you go! Camo sashes!

    Also, I don't know if you want to add the camo tulle to mirror your dress to the bridesmaids, but if you do it's currently at 50% clearance at Joann fabric.

    Pintrest, camoformal, and etsy are all great places to start to get ideas. Try on traditional gowns see what looks best on you and go from there.

    I wanted a camo dress too but decided against it once i started trying on dresses. They're cute though. I don't have advice i just wanted to say that no matter what anyone else thinks, you will be beautiful on YOUR day!!!

    @Celia, she is the bride. She's also having a ladder-themed wedding, in case you missed that post. Ladder decorations, guests sitting on ladders; it's to honor their first date, at an abandoned ladder factory.

    Not my cup of tea. That being said, where I live you can usually find camo dresses around prom and homecoming seasons in the small boutiques. I would start looking at dress boutiques and Google camo dresses.

    Have you talked to your BMs about budget yet? It would help if we know the budget. Also can you do a simple BMs dress and just add a camo sash? That seems like a good option of you can't find dresses.

    I feel like you would have to have this dress custom made. Also, that is definitely not teal. You probably are also going to want to run this past your bridesmaids.

    For those of us keeping score at home...

    https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/country-rustic-ladder-wedding/b07582c344edfd3c.html

    TL;DR- OP is having a country, rustic ladder wedding where, yes, the ladders are the theme. OP and her FH's first date was at an abandoned ladder factory and the guests will also be sitting on ladders for the ceremony.

    How does one go about sitting on a ladder? Are we talking like 6 foot tall ladders? Why would the guests sit in the air and look down on the bride and groom?

    I also think that camo has no place in a wedding, as Mary so aptly commented, but at the same time I don't need to look at the photos for the next 50-60plus years. If it's what you want, by all means, do what makes you happy. Just properly host your guests.
