We Found Our Venue!

Halie, on July 31, 2020 at 3:07 AM Posted in Planning 0 20
We were stuck between two venues yesterday. We toured both together and FELL IN LOVE with Avant Garden. So much so we are expanding our guest list and increasing our budget to include everything we want! We looked at each other and said - THIS IS WHERE WE WILL SAY I DO! Avant Garden has SO much personality. For the longest I was dreaming of a dark, moody, romantic wedding, but honestly I think the venue speaks volumes all on its own. Would you continue with dark, romantic or have a more neutral color palette? Photos below for reference! I Googled these.We Found Our Venue! 1

I couldn’t find any great pictures of the inside, but the inside is all dark, cherry wood and original Victorian style furniture. The house is over 120 years old.

    Your venue is absolutely gorgeous!! As far as decor, your venue is so beautiful you could really go super minimalist and let the location speak for itself (and save a ton of money)! However, if you really have your heart set on dark, moody decor and want to spend the money on it, then go for it! The space could definitely support a dark moody color palette as well.

    Wow! It’s beautiful! I think you could do dark or neutral colors. Heck, I’d throw in some pink or coral as an accent color.

    I think that dark or neutral colors would both work with this look!

    I feel either one would go perfect. Which one do you really have your heart set on? Go for that one.

    I definitely gravitate toward dark, moody romantic. Something like this:


    We Found Our Venue! 5
    We Found Our Venue! 6
    We Found Our Venue! 7

    or
    We Found Our Venue! 8

    The nice thing about the venue is they cover all decor including florals and linens so I can’t be as detailed as I like! That’s why it comes to color palette itself.


    This are my two inspiration so far:

    We Found Our Venue! 10
    We Found Our Venue! 11
    ....or.....

    I think you know what you already want and you should just go with your gut and dream. At the end of the day it's yours and your FH's choice on what colors to go with.

    Congratulations that place looks amazing. From the pictures it looked like you wouldn't have to do to much. If I was you I'd go a little more simple with decorations, you don't want to have to much in a space like this

    Congrats!!! Once you have the venue it feels really real! Well, you can still have your color palette. But I would keep your additions simple. Our venue also has a lot of personality on its own (wood walls, decorative wallpapering, dim lighting, tufted furniture, large mirrors etc. like a 1920s speakeasy), so there’s little that needs to be added. Otherwise it will complete too much with the surroundings.

    So unique! Unfortunate that there are no good photos of the inside but the description alone sounds wonderful. Congrats on finding your venue!!

    If dark & moody is your thing, I say go for it! It’s definitely more unique. And it’s if YOU, that’s the best style of all.
