go with the bright colours hun .....it all sounds fab

Go with the colors that you want. We got married in an Art Deco room which was decorated in pink and blue/grey and the wedding breakfast was in a room which was yellow and green. There was no way to have a color that would go with both rooms, so we went with purple, lilac and gold. I was concerned that the yellow and green carpet would really show through but it was barely noticable once the room was decorated. I was going to go for a color that would incorporate the yellow/green, but was advised to go with the colors that I wanted and ignore the room colors as if I went for yellow/green it wouls bring the carpet out rather than dampen it down xx

Awwww thanks Mel. Brilliant advice :)xxx

I'll try to find a picture so you can see ...

It was much less noticeable on the day ... couldn't find any color photos with people sat in the chairs

This is something I have noticed! Why do they have to have coloured/patterned carpets?!!! They always seem to clash no matter what colour scheme you go for!

Our colour scheme 'at the moment' is Brown, Ivory and Gold.

It was Black purple and silver but not sure if the colour scheme will go with my dress so have changed it-contemplating having some purple accents thrown in, only subtle such as purple flowers in centerpeices?!

Mel - you don't really notice the carpet do you?! I don't know if it's just me, but my eyes just go straight to the table decorations because you know that they're part of the day!

you got me thinking now. I am off over to my venue shortly i will have a look at the carpet

Honestly - when the room is decorated you really don't see the carpet - even the hideous one that I had! Just asked someone what color the carpet was, and they couldn't tell me it, they noticed the seat covers, the table centres, table decorations, everything that I wanted them to notice, but they didn't see the carpet at all.

Sorry but PPL will be watching you not the carpet during the service, talking and eating during the meal not looking at the carpet and during the reception it will be dark so whose gonna see it????

Our venue has wooden flooring so thats not a problem for us but to be honest the first venue we looked at had green carpet but i wasnt bothered as to be honest ppl walk on it and dont really notice it and thats it really!
Now the walls and decorations might effect my colour theme for example if my venue had bright pink walls and silver frames etc i wouldnt pick gold and blue as my theme!!! (although hot pink and navy is lush together)

Again im lucky tho as my venue is beautiful and my theme reflects that :-)

kimmie that aint a bad idea lol. i asked 1 venue that i viewed if they could change the light shades on the ceilling as i thought they were old, dated & a tad on the dirty side!! needless 2 say the "wedding planner" from the venue was less than impressed lol

the wedding planner didnt feel the same, she was horrified that i would even dream of making that kind of suggestion lol. Thats y i have a totally different venue with beautiful rooms & a great wedding team :) its good if they dont bother u much but if something really bothered me & i didnt like it i would have to ask for it 2 b changed lol. sounds really ott & bridzilla but i just want everything perfect :) x

Ooooh, my bad lol! Nooo totally agree nicole. I am the same!! xx

Mine is going to be multi coloured because of the Fun Fair theme, so I have a lot of colours all mixed in, but my main one is Ivory and a deep Red. xx

I'm not fussed ours doesn't go- blue carpet and our colours are red and gold but I figured no one is going to be fussed about what colour the carpet is

They won't! Really!
