    Bees, I am so lost with what to do with colors in my venue - I saw these beautiful copper colored table linens that I loved and was thinking copper and purple or copper and blue - but then I saw these flowers and fell in love - do you think it will all work?  My bridesmaid is wearing a copper colored dress.

    Help? I'm attaching pics of my venue and the flower ideas.

    my ceremony site (although I am not planning to decorate it) has coppery elements - and there is copper in the reception area too.  It's in a deserty area which is why I love the succulents.

    Here is another photo I love of a table design with reds and succulents - can you bees help me make this more cohesive??  Or does it not work in the room??

    Well, my entire wedding is going to be composed of bold colors, so I basically slobbered all over those flowers. Also, as a former Las Vegan, I really think you picked the most gorgeous venue in the city for your wedding. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

    That venue is a knockout and so are those flowers! I think copper would work well to tie them together. I'm not so sure about the black flowers you mentioned in your title - I think I would skip out on that and stick with jewel tones and the warm metallic of copper.
