I keep going back and forth with this...but for some reason, I just can't seem to come up with the "right" idea for decorating the reception hall. I don't want it to look like a homemade birthday party.. lol.. I also don't want to take too much away from the room either..
Anyways.. i've looked through multiple photos of reception decorations and nothing is sticking out for me. Maybe a little help from you girls will set me on the right path.
I've included a few pictures of the hall to give you an idea of what i'm working with.
Thanks ladies!

hmmm w/the color of the walls i would think that candlelight would look really pretty so I would use some sort of candle centerpiece... but thats just my .02 ;) i can't say i'm really good @ this yet LOL

The hall i s already beautiful! It also has wonderful light... one of things we photographers love! Personally I don't think it needs much else... are seat covers, linens, candelabras included? If they are then I would just go with that... maybe a nice floral centerpiece or something, but I wouldn't add too much... I think simple is better plus you can then spend the money on something else!:)

That's a nice looking hall! The main thing we are doing to decorate our reception is to add lots of candle light.

I'm using the double hearts theme through out the reception area. My colors are lilac/lavendar, silver and white
Found these baskets you could use on the tables, possibly fill with flowers?

With how pretty the site is I say that lilac and silver sashes on the chairs along with cloth napkins, and a nice centerpiece should be more than enough. Flowers would look beautiful!

Thank you ladies....
I was starting to doubt whether or not this venue would give me the look I was going for. I have a tendency to second guess myself.
Anyways... with the wedding 6 months away... there isnt' much room for changes lol! :)
