I'm having my reception at Glasgow University - it's not really the type of place we were looking for (more traditional style than we really wanted) however the price swung it for us. I had originally wanted a sort of vintage theme, with pastel colours, however I don't think the colour in the room would really work with that theme. As the wedding is in October I thought about maybe orange and red but I;m not a huge fan of orange!

I've posted a link to their flickr account so you can see the colours - quite a lot of darkish wood and red curtains. I don't think I will have chair covers so the room will look less white (and small hopefully!)

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I dont see why vintage theme wont work to be honest. I think it would look lovely, nice creams and pale pinks etc. As for autumnal colours if you dont really like orange there isnt much else to play on really :-)

If you are worried about it clashing then stick with the reds and golds maybe?

If my memory serves me right, was that building not designed by Mackintosh?

So how about theming it with his colours?

Do you think vintage would work? just thought maybe all that wood was too dark, but would love to go with that if it looked ok/ Hard to visualise isn't it, the final look of a room you've only been in once?! Never really thought of red and gold either, will have a look online and see what I can find.

Not sure if it was designed by Mackintosh, possibly, my history is terrible? = will also google this! Thanks

Rather than the usual vintae theme, why not go for something a little more Hollywood Glamour? Thinking red, black and white and lots of glitz! x
