    I am looking for ideas for decorations for our upcoming wedding at a local campground. I am looking for ideas to put on the picnic tables that will be rustic and easy but still blend with the natural beauty of the campground. Any ideas...I am at a loss and can not find any photos or sites to help me out.

    Hmm. Are you getting flowers? You could do tin milk cans or vegetable cans filled with flowers, or glass mason jars with a candle inside. Or you could do wheatgrass trays and then stick little decorations or table numbers in them. Paper luminaria lanterns, paper bags with candles inside, are really pretty, and I think Martha Stewart has a pattern to make a lacey-looking one on her website -- not sure if your reception will be in the evening, though.

    Not sure if that's what you're looking for. Have you googled "rustic wedding" or "campground wedding" to see what images pop up in an image search? What about hopping on flickr and trying the same search?

    I would avoid any kind of food centerpiece, given that there wont' be any refuge from flies. I'd also be sure to provide some bug repellent wipes for you guests.

    Check out Mrs Cherry Pies wedding for some ideas. She did a great job of beautiful rustic.

    I went to a campground wedding once- and they ordered brand new porta-potties (no stinkiness!) and decorated them with flowers and baskets with sprays and stuff, etc.  Outside they did a washing table- where they had a super nice credenza and washing bowl with pitchers of water and nice soap.

    Okay, this seems simple, but it MADE the wedding for me.  I'm not much of an outdoorsy girl, but definitely made me comfortable knowing I didn't have to squat in the woods!!
