And here is the venue. Thanks in advance for any and all help/advice/constructive mockery you have to offer. We just don't want to get halfway into this and realize the end result looks like crap.

I am loving the first combination as well as the fern/latte/ivory. lovely!
We are going for a romantic, Victorian theme, so base on that and the additional Steampunk-meets-Anthropologie and your ivory gown, I picked the 3rd one; Slate Blue, Light Blue, Gold, Latte, Chocolate Brown and Ivory. I really think those colors would go best and you could do a lot with them.
I'm torn between letting the charcoal-grey color of the chairs affect my decision, or getting Chiavari chairs for $7 apiece for 150, and perhaps they won't be as comfortable, since these are actually not bad to sit in.
I like the first one- but with apple green added to it. I think it just needs a 'pop' and apple green would give it that.
I also think you can stick with the charcoal grey chairs :)
Anyone have particularly strong feelings about the chairs? Like, if you were a guest, would you think those were awful? I literally never noticed the chairs at a wedding before I started planning my own, so it's hard to know if these are on par with what most people have, or if people will think they are hideous.
At least they're not the bright-red-naugahyde-and-antique-brass-finish monstrosities...
ditto.
Though you don't want to overwhelm yourself with too many colours, so I would lean toward the last option fern/latte/ivory (as your base) and then add complimentaries here and there to tie it together.
The deep rich colours are what make me say this.
I think that the colours will be a bit dark with the venue, but in a more old world elegance kind of way YKWIM?
as a guest I want my ass not to get sore during any long periods of sitting.
The chairs in the photos are not bad, and as a guest I prob wouldn't notice them. (as someone planning of course I notice, but they are really not that bad at all --I have definitely seen worse).
Love the QC avatar--makes me grin every time I see it!
@missmouse29: Duly noted. It would probably be smarter to just keep the chairs in the venue. It won't look as good, but it will cost a lot less and eliminate the possibility of ass-hurtage.
@AmuseMeMusically: is your venue at UCO? I can't place it at all lol.
@noritake22: I second this. I think the gold is key for a Victorian-influenced theme. I don't really know much about Steampunk other than the basics, but I am totally obsessed with the Victorian aesthetic (I mean, you can see it in my attire, my decor, and how I spend my time in general), and gold really makes a Victorian palette. I initially had planned for my Victorian-influenced wedding colors to be navy, pale blue, lavender, gold, and ivory, so that palette is really close and would, I think, work really well. The slate blue and chocolate give it a tough, steampunk-y edge.
I also don't think that any of your options feature "too many" colors. I think limiting yourself to just two colors gets too matchy-matchy. We're probably not having wedding colors at all now. Just using a buttload of colors that work well together and fit the general feel of the wedding.
I voted for the first one, but I don't really think that any of your color schemes really said anthropologie to me. That said, I don't really know what steampunk is so they could be going with that? I think there are too many blues. I don't really see them as being too anthro but thats just me.
@elliestan: No, it's Central Community Center in Tulsa. I'd have loved to have gotten married in the Edmond/OKC area, but since FI is from Tahlequah, it'd have basically been a destination wedding, and many of them wouldn't have been able to make the drive.
It's really unfortunate. There are SO many drool-worthy venues in OKC. And cheaper, and fewer catering restrictions, by and large. Sigh...

...or just anyone with an eye for color. Here are the colors we are considering, pictures of the venue listed next.
Our theme is Victorian, kind of a Steampunk-meets-Anthropologie. My dress is ivory. I don't think season matters much.
Some of the colors are a little "off" because certain colors somtimes don't display well on screen; they look much better on Inspiration Boards. So if the shades are slightly off, don't let that affect your decision.
