I posted a couple of weeks back about writing my maid of honor speech for my best friends wedding. Well the wedding has been and gone since then, it was a lovely day and I’m happy to say, my speech turned out quite well! There was time for a couple of drinks before the speeches, so I and all the other guests were a bit more relaxed. Surprisingly by that stage I wasn’t even that nervous.

When my friend first started talking to me about her wedding and plans, I was a little surprised when she said it was going to be camo themed. I immediately thought it was going to be tacky, but as I started to see the dress, decorations etc. come together in the months leading up to the big day, I saw that it was more rustic and outdoors themed which was quite nice.

Come the wedding day when I saw it all together, I was stunned at how beautiful it all really was, and how well the subtle hints of camo worked. Their wedding rings even had some camo print on them, like the ones here http://www.camo-rings.com/. I thought I’d share that example as, until their big day, if you mentioned camo wedding rings, I wouldn’t have had a clue what you were talking about or how that was even possible. I thought wedding bands were always just your standard gold, silver or platinum possibly with a diamond in it.

The reception was also decorated beautifully with lots of natural touches, like a tree trunk cupcake board, burlap bows on the chairs, native flowers as the centrepieces etc. It really was just lovely, and something a little unique compared to the other weddings I’ve been to which have been fairly traditional. I hope the next one I go to in March is just as unique and fun
