Hi all,

I am new here. My fiance and I are getting married in November this year, in Malaysia. We are struggling with our theme and color.

We are having our dinner reception in a ballroom with yellowish lighting from several huge chandeliers, yellowish and brownish wall and carpet with some mirrors on the wall.

Both of us don't like red and yellow, and colors that set modern, elegance and romantic mood for our reception. On top of our mind, we have 2 sets of color combinations. 1) Hues of pink + lime green + ivory, 2) Pink + lilac/pale purple + champagne. What we are worried:-

1. both color combination might not match the ballroom or might be washed out/mellow down by the yellowish lightings.

2. which option looks better under such environment?

3. or should we look for colors/themes that matches the ballroom rather than going for our dream theme? If yes, pls do suggest other alternatives.

Appreciate if anyone could enlighten us.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I'm no expert on this, but as I see it, a lilac/violet theme would go with the colors of the lights and walls. But I can never be sure.

What I would suggest though is to ask an opinion of an event stylist. They would know if your color scheme would work in that venue, and would probably look for a way to harmonize your colors with the lights and everything. Or you can visit the ballroom again and bring some fabric swatches of pink/green/lilac and see what color would look good when reflected with the yellowish light. Do all of these before thinking of changing your theme. :D
