Hi everyone! New to this board, but am hoping you can offer some insight! I've been rethinking my wedding colors -- originally we had black, white, and red with gold accents (mostly because the traditional Chinese wedding colors are Red and Gold), but I think I'd rather go with something that's more us than just going with traditional colors. I've though about shades of pink (raspberry?) and champagne with maybe some shade of blue as an accent, but now I'm wondering... do I need to be sure the colors match the venue at all? Is that something you considered when you chose your colors? Will people even notice? We're having an outdoor ceremony, but then our reception is inside a hotel whose primary colors are black and red, with their reception room having walls that are olive green -- really earth tone-y red/brown carpet, etc, I think (am I making the place sound ugly? lol, it's not!). I know little about what colors go together, but I'm a little afraid that the colors will look funny unless I pay to get different linens and chair covers... something I can't really afford. Any advice, or even a lesson on how to choose colors that go well with everything? TIA!!!
