i dont think they need to match but they need to at least go if that makes sense so that it not all clashing xx

No I don't think so, my colour is royal blue and ivory and my venue has a horrible red patterned carpet.. I'm not worried tho. X

Hi welcome btw :D

Nope they don't have to match, i agree with the other ladies, sometimes matching can draw attention to the wrong parts!!
Our venue, well ceremony and breakfast room is all white like conservatory style walls, but has a weird coloured curtain/carpet probably similar reddy/brown to most venues!! Our colours are silver and turquoise... you also need to remember, most of the floor will be covered up with chairs/tables/people so will only really see specks of the original colours, therefore your colour scheme will stand out way more!

well grey is quite a 'neutral' against green and red to be honest... but don't worry the photographer will focus on your colours and emphasise those.
I hadn't really thought about it until writing my previous reply...but depending the room, majority of floor will be covered by chairs and tables, both of which will no doubt be covered in white with your colour sashes so that draws your eye and attention into your decorations rather than the curtains. and then with table decorations/table centrepieces.. you look at any photos and you do usually find red and cream and greens as venue choices... no idea why! but im sure you will be fine!!

ive emailed the venue too because they mentioned that the hotel has been getting some decorating done, so its kind of fingers crossed, but i very much doubt it.

my centre pieces will be quite tall too so it will draw the eye to them, and there is 6 pillars along the room so the windows are kind of out of sight but bring enough light in. x x

ours overlooks a golf course too haha. im soooo excited! x x

im from middlesbrough, ooh i signed up a few weeks ago but never used it till tonight, im not sure why its restricted, dont know how to fix it! ive noticed everyone has 'getting married in ... months too, dont know how i get that x x

go to your 'my wedding' .... on left down to 'my details' in there you can input your wedding date and change your profile settings to public.... then you'l get your countdown too.

xx

thanks lula, sorted! x x

thankyou hun, you havent got long to wait! ive been waiting for 6 years haha x

i think id kill him if he made me wait 15 years! i just cant wait to get planning, we have a venue and thats it! x

yeah i wanted to enjoy xmas, and its wiped out the majority of our savings lol. be ok in a couple of month, just slowly get things going.

nightmare your family werent happy. mine werent too keen, my partner is 16 years older than me, but we level each other out we have so much in common and we love each other, think thats evident after 6 years together so far. they quickly got around the idea. xx

I dont think so. Ours is pretty much the same as Karen22 were having white, royal blue and silver colour scheme and our reception venue has horrible red carpets!

Our venue had historical decoration, but it was a nightmare. The ceremony room was pale pink/light blue/light grey and the reception rrom was green/yellow. We decided to completly ignore the decor and go for purple/lilac/silver so we connected the rooms that way. We had massive floor to ceiling supporting pillars in the reception room which we wrapped in lilac organza ... I had rolls and rolls of the stuff which we wrapped around everywhere inside and out!

i emailed and they said they had no plans to decorate but it may change, the room itself is all cream walla with nice artwork, very country club type place and it doesnt have a huge amount of windows. so not too many gaudy curtains

venue pic posted below thanks to glitter fairy :D

sorry didnt realise

No worries, the mods will only remove it anyway.

It looks a lovely venue

My colours will be similar to the green in the first picture

Yah our curtains were not the best but to be honest I never noticed them

That's gorgeous kelbel.

Ours is quite neutrally decorated, with cream walls and furnished in a pale sort of olive green which is quite nice. We are having green and silver as our colours so it will work well I think.

To be honest, we did pick the colours as they would look nice in the venue, but then again we weren't to fussed about the colour scheme to start with.

I don't understand why hotels insist on getting such hideous carpets though!!!
