Fire door stress!

You can get a curtain backdrop with a slit in it so the door still functions for the ceremony, but then take it down for the reception. safety is paramount after all!!

Have a look at page 7 on this document (our venue) as the top two pictures both show the same wall with and without the wall covered.

Good luck!

I wouldn't have noticed the door if you hadn't pointed it out. I doubt guests will be distracted from the ceremony by it I was expevting a big green thing with a fire exit this way light over it

I honestly wouldn't worry- we had a fire door much the same as yours in the corner of our room and I cant say I even noticed it on the day. The Togs have also manged to not get it into any photos (or have edited it out)

It took me a while to actually find it! It's really not that bad, I'm sure that's not what people will be noticing on the day.

You can't legally cover or obstruct a fire door, it is there for your safety!!

Trust me the results of your guests not being able to find their way out in the event of a fire will be far more 'ugly'.

Honestly, I really wouldn't worry, it's a door. I wouldn't have a problem with it if I were a first. As others members have said, it has to be kept free from any obstruction as it is a fire door. Maybe you can hang your backdrop so it leaves the door free?

Hire a sexy man to hand out drinks in front of the door.

Hello Diet coke man....

Best idea ever!

Why thankyou lol

What door?

Exactly this!

I was expecting it to jump out of the screen and I actually had to look for it. I really don't think it's too obvious xx

I couldn't see it either. No-one will notice, they'll be too busy looking at you and your new husband. And you'll be too busy to notice too. Please don't worry.

MOMB - great place to get married, I've been to loads of weddings there and they were all amazing. Xx

When I saw that you'd flashed a photo I was expecting a monstrosity. I had to actively look for the door. I think you are really overthinking it.

I had to search to find the door, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Due to H&S reasons I very much doubt they'll let you put anything over the door anyway. I work in property management which includes ensuring the blocks of flats are compliant in terms of H&S and if we were to put something on the door to hide it to make it blend in better or hide the fire escape sign the propeprty wouldn't be compliant under current legislation. The door and it's sign must be clear so access is easy and it must be easily spotted in the case of an emergency.

Wow, great replies thank you! My mind is at ease now

Also, MrsPetal, fantastic idea, though I do hope my h2b doesnt expect a page3 girl to be stood there too! :o
