Hello, I'm Ginger from Garters by Gingersnap! Welcome to my wedding blog.
Hopefully having a blog will make it easier to communicate with me and ask questions. I receive lots of emails everyday and many of you have the same questions. I believe this blog can be a resource for all , especially during the busy times when I'm consumed with an influx of orders and can't answer emails as quickly as I'd like to.
I realize that planning a wedding is stressful and finding good vendors can be difficult. I spend endless hours researching on the world wide web and during my travels I come across hundreds of unique and interesting wedding ideas but have never had anyone to share them with....now I do.
A blog is a great place to make friends with people just like youself, who love to talk about weddings. Here you can brainstorm your ideas, seek out advice, ask opinions, get suggestions,share vendor recommendations and ask questions. Remember there's no such thing as a silly question. If I don't have the answer to your question someone else most likely will.
Camo weddings are a huge trend among hunters or fishermen. If your fiancé is an avid hunter or fisherman, he will surely be ecstatic to have camouflage incorporated into the wedding theme....but be careful. Too much camo tends to appear a bit tacky, particularly in a group picture.
Camo themed weddings can be very tasteful and even elegant if done correctly. Camouflage print is extremely busy, so use it sparingly and carefully, as accents only.
For the bride, an ivory dress with a camo sash or a custom made dress with just a touch of camo incorporated into the dress.
For bridesmaids use solid colors such as rich chocolate brown, deep hunter green, stylish sage green or timeless ivory, with a touch of camo in a sash or camo ribbons in their bouquets.
For the groom and groomsmen you can introduce camo by way of a tie or a pocket square or both if you don't have a large party. The flower girl may have a camo bow in her hair and a camo basket, the ring bearer a camo pillow and camo bowtie. You can also have a camo guestbook and camo garter to toss.
For decorations use the same chocolate browns, deep greens, sage greens and ivorys. Introduce camo in small doses. Tie the favors with a camo print ribbon and/or use camo ribbon in the centerpieces.
Even in small amounts the camo will stand out.
Below are a few ideas found on online.
The holidays are fast approaching and once they're over spring is quick to follow. As a lot of our repeat customers know, after the holidays we are extremly busy with proms and spring weddings. By the end of January orders may take up to 4 weeks to ship. By the time April rolls around we are usually forced to close for about a month due an influx of orders. I know that a lot of you save us to your favorites and your garter is probably one of the last items you purchase and usually at the last minute. That usually incurs a hefty rush fee so ORDER EARLY...at least 6 weeks in advance.
Camo Craze Is Everywhere
