    A little back story we were going to have a big wedding with a formal reception being all white with lots of bling  : )

    But then decided on not doing a big wedding (It was being too much about the guest and not us) so we are now having our reception site out of town in a hip penthouse with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres (cake too). (I will try to upload pics)

    Now i need ideas on what colors to use I need something good for night something that goes with the theme im still using bling but do not what to use so much white. Im having certerpieces and was dead set on white roses but now im open to other options also linens as before were suppose to be white now im looking for other ideas for color/patterns something romatic, sexy, glam also candels will be all over for ambiance. please post pics or give me an idea of colors or things i can add.

    Wow - cool pictures! Ask if you can see what the room looks like when it's dark out so you can get a better idea of where the light hits. It looks like the room has a lot of up lighting too - I'd double check to see if that's actually in the room or was just there for the promotional photo shoot.

    Looks like the chandelier is set against the windows & the mirrors (on the left hand side, bottom picture) so that the light reflects into the room. I bet that looks awesome (I'm luvin' those mirrors).  There's a lot of jewel tones in the space and I think the chandelier & lighting adds a good bit of bling, so I'd play off of that and use similar colors.

    Edit: Whoops, pic is too big, let's try again...

    @ Sep_Queen - Looks like these are mostly CGI/computer generated. I thought it was just my screen before. Def. ask if you can get in there with your own camera & take pics so you can get an idea of what the space is really like.  It looks really cool though! :)
