Tripod cover question

While this mainly is asking videography purposes, but are there any tripod covers to hide the tripod during weddings and events?

I ask this because I normally remove them in post. However, I had to shoot an outdoor wedding where it was very windy.

Due to the setup, I had to put a camera on tall tripod behind the couple, partially hidden by them and a hanging fern, and 2 cameras on normal tripods to the sides, partially hidden by people and hanging cloth.

The bride was completely ok with the tripods during the rehearsal and wedding - she did not care. She said whatever I had to do to get the shot.

However, because of the hanging ferns and fabric blowing all over the place (the wind kicked up after everything was set up), I was not able to get clear, stable shots to be able to remove the tripod bases like I had planned. Yes, it's my fault 100% for not foreseeing this and I do know better now.

And yes, the removal could've been done using motion tracking and keyframing, but I did this wedding a a HUGE discount for a favor. So that really wasn't option for the time spent and my sanity.

I was hoping there would be some covers that would be put over the tripods in a variety of colors to help them blend in with backgrounds: white for beaches, various greens and browns for grass and trees, and other colors for indoors.

Is there such a product or do I just need to make my own?

Or would this be completely out of the question? I'm still pretty new to videography. I've done about 15 weddings and every situation is different.

99% of the time the tripod are out of the way and I still remove them in post.

Thanks!

Leg covers for tables and speaker stands are called skirts. Search for that.
