No decor?

To me it's really dark. It doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look like a wedding venue.

I think linens of some sort will help brighten up the space a lot. Tablecloths and centerpieces don't need to be much but can make a huge difference. Maybe a centerpiece with some lighter flowers (peach and blush, in your colors) or lights (you can do tealights or string lights wound into greenery or florals) will help brighten it up a lot.

Other than centerpieces I didn't decorate my venue either. I feel like if your venue seems like it's nice enough as is then it's fine.

I talked to the Mr. and we think that we'll do something like this arrangement with votive candles (rose gold or other metallic) around it. And we'll do champagne color overlays over white table cloths. Do you think this will help my reception feel more bridal. Fyi - second wedding and it's in a restaurant, not a hall. No DJ, no garter, none of the traditional stuff. We have an after party for the fun. Think of this as a more of dinner. Please give me your thoughts??

table idea?

We are using the house centerpieces for our decor. Except the head table will be decorated with 2 of my DIY centerpieces/altar decor. Oh and the bridesmaids will put their flowers in vases on the table.
