Does the carpet matter much?

well, i've finally found my church. it's a small white country chapel. inside, the pews and floor is a medium shade of wood..but in the aisle and branching out into the platforms there is burgundy carpet. i had already planned out my colors to be a black and white wedding w/ an accent color of light pink. my bridesmaids will wear black and i wanted them to carry light pink gerber daisies w/ maybe some white ones also. now, im not sure about the carpet w/ the pink...i know burgundy and light pink DO go together but they arent my favorite combo of colors...the people in charge of the church said i had free reign on decorating the church. my reception will be in a different place. should i just keep it all black and white ..meaning w/ the flowers and decorations in the church and then use my black, white and pink in the reception place? or should i just use the pink both places?

thankyou!!!

my dress is ivory btw....should i decorate in ivory or white? i was leaning toward white

I think you should replace all the pink with the ivory colour. It would still look really nice. =D
Reply:The church i got married at had burgundy carpet as well and my colors were bright red. I did not pay much attention to the carpet because you can't change it. I think it would look good with the like pink flowers. You might want to add a brighter color to the mix so it does not look to dark with the black dresses and burgundy carpet. Good Luck!!!!!
Reply:Stick with what you already have. No one really cares about the carpet! And burgandy will pretty much go with anything. I didn't include any red in my wedding (well - pink flowers was the closest) and we had a bright red carpet... it still worked ok!

Reply:No one will be looking at the carpet. People know that you have no say over what color the church picked out. Use whatever colors you want and don't even factor in the carpet color.
Reply:you cant change the carpet really. so relax its alright carpet isnt that big of a deal. thank god its burgundy not some ugly brown or grey. yuck!
Reply:Actually, I was wondering about your questions, so I did a bit of research. On theknot website, I read that the color of the walls and carpet will be okay as long as they don't clash. So you should be fine with the burgundy carpet. On another question on this site, people were saying that it was fine to use both ivory and white, but one person pointed out that if the bride's dress is ivory, the white decorations could make the dress appear dirty.....I don't know myself, but it is something to think about.....
Reply:Hi and congratulations!



Pay no attention to the color of the carpet in the church. Don't even worrry about it. I have been to LOTS of weddings, and I couldn't tell you the color of the carpeting (or lack thereof) in the church. People are looking at you and the groom (and at the bridesmaids as they walk down the aisle)....but that is it! No one notices floor colors or the colors on the walls. And, if they do.....well there not much you can do about the colors in a church!



Yes, keep everything as you have it. I would go with the black dresses....the flowers as you have planned (light pink and white gerbera daisies).



If you want to....I would use the same colors of flowers in vases on the altar (or near the altar). Also, you could (if you want), use white bows maybe with a little pink or black in them for the ends of the pews. But this is totally optional.



Yes, I would use the white to decorate with and I would keep the black, white AND pink for both the ceremony and the reception for flowers and decorations.



Good luck and I hope you have a beautiful wedding!
