Silly obsessive brida question...but what color chairs?

[Future Mrs Polka Dot]

Ok, so I''ve been doing a lot of stressing and obsessing lately - I guess the 6 month mark is stressing me out

Anyway, I just can''t decide what color chivari chairs to rent! And I want to call soon to reserve because I''ve heard certain color selections can book up. So, first, here is a picture of our venue (then I''ll post the chair color options).

The tricky part is I need something that will look good both in and outside, and also goes with the "feel" we are going for - pink and green garden elegance (with a hint of preppiness! Yes, I am cheesy...)

So here is the outside, where the ceremony will take place (see pic #1) http://washingtondc.destinations.starwoodhotels.com/Weddings/grand_photo_gallery.htm
Then you can click through to pic # 3, 6 and 17 for some (orange tinted!) inside shots...we''re not doing orange lighting.

I''m attaching another inside shot.

Your site looks earthy outside, and the inside has the brownish pillars and hard wood floor. So I prefer the dark brown colored chair to go with the earthy-ness of venue.

Anyway, you guys get the idea! Other options we''re considering are black, mahogany, or celadon (light green). Or maybe light/natural wood but not sure this will look good with hardwood floors...

Thanks for your help! If you have any fun pictures please share!

Lastly, here is a picture that kind of summarizes the look we''re going for as far as linens and such!

Is gold an option? I think it would go best with the warmth of the interior and make a nice contrast to the grey walls of the exterior.

Thanks, Brazen - gold is an option. Actually the gold chairs in the picture come with the venue. When we saw them outside, they looked SO bright though! But maybe that is because they are metal and not wooden gold? I wonder if that makes a difference....

I can investigate that

I agree that gold or dark brown would look marvelous!

You mention that the gold looks shiny, but they will mostly be in use, right? I bet they won''t look so bright with people seated in them.

here is a pic of the gold one from the rental co''s website. It looks cute! I bet it would not be as shiny as the metal ones

 

[qtiekiki]

gold would totally work.

We have Mahogany ones at our venue. They''re the nicest I''ve seen in terms of color and richness. The gold and silver look wrong outdoors I think. So I''d do the Mahogany or the ivory if you don''t like that.

I was gonna say gold or mahogany.

Gold with ivory cushions.

Thanks guys! I''m pretty sure we''re going to go with mahogany (but ivory is still in the running). I can''t decide if I want pink or ivory cushions....decisions....
