HELP! I Really Need Your Input!!!


Friday we went to see another venue and all I can say is I'm in LOVE! Oh my goodness ladies, this venue is so perfect for us. It's classic, gorgeous & newly remodeled. The Vinton War Memorial has everything a bride can ask for in a venue. And for once since our wedding planning began someone didn't look at me like I was crazy because we want to book so far out from the wedding, they actually gave a significant discount, more than $1000 OFF! Say What?!? I was so excited. Since they remodeled, everything is up to date, with warm colors like, lime greens, toupes, browns & some orange.

Lobby (for cocktail hour)::

Now my issue comes in the colors because our original color palette was champagne, chocolate brown & lime green. I changed the colors because we really thought that we wanted to go with the art museum so we wanted colors that were more modern & could compete with the strong achitecture of the museum (black, white & lime green). But after visitng the Vinton War Memorial I want to go back to my orginial color palette. The chairs as you can see at VWM are not the chiavari chairs that I would like, but they are actually not that bad. And being the budget bride that I am, we will just have to go with it. Anywhooo... which color palette do you suggest I go with? Please be honest and give me as much feedback as you would like!
