But if you used chartreuse linens on everything that would definitely do it! On the sapphire front, again, don't think about the accent in terms of flowers but as other large, impactful pieces + accents (linens, fabric wrapped vases, etc).

I'm just having trouble envisioning flowers for the blue accent. I know the LED lights they have are that beautiful blue (that seem to also have hues of purple). so that has definitely thrown me...I don't quite feel on my color game. As a note, we're probably going to have the ceremony on the rooftop and then move on down to the lounge (bow-chica-bow-bow) for the reception. :) YAY for weddings!! oh yeah…wanted to share…my fiance is a University of Kentucky grad…so when I mentioned to him that you recommended a sapphire blue, he was SO excited (GO UK!).

I can't tell you how excited I am. :D Thank you so much! I actually had a thought, and would love your opinion. I haven't spent a lot of time (yet) in the Solas space. For some reason I have fallen in love with chartreuse. I did a <a href="http://jonellyjojo.smugmug.com/Other/Wedding-stuff/11729120_GYApe#827782101_CtqWN" rel="nofollow">quick color mood board</a> and would love to know what you think. Do you think it might look Christmas-y? If so, I think I'd give the saturated mustardy gold a try. I honestly don't think I'd put a ton of the green in there, just find ways for a pop of color here and there. I would like to keep the table centerpieces very simple - maybe a single white calla lily (or some other white flower) with a sprig of the green hypericum berries. And maybe do something more dramatic for the buffet table. (I love those pears too...with both the red and the chartreuse-y color. ) Love to hear your initial impression. Thank you sooooo much for your ideas! Thanks so much Dina! I can’t tell you how excited I am. :D Thank you so much!

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials! Solas is such a great and unique space in Raleigh and I think you and your guests will be totally delighted with the result. The food is yummy, the staff is attendant and the space is phenomenal for a modern affair. Yay you! While I love the overall aesthetic, I do agree that it can be a little challenging to coming up with a color scheme that doesn't compete with the already strong and bold look the club has going on. Particularly on that second floor (where I assume is where your event will be taking place), the black & white patterns with big touches of red thrown in can leave you feeling stuck on a black/white/red color palette. My recommendation is to pick a complimentary accent color that is as strong in saturation as the already used colors and stays in the jewel tone family. That was my strategy in picking the purple for the Bubbles & Bling event. I wanted something just as strong as that deep red and that wouldn't get lost or look like an after thought. So if your fiance isn't feeling purple (though I think in a deep color it can be less girly and very sexy...perfect for that setting!), what about a deep, sapphire blue or really saturated, mustardy gold? I think both would make a killer accent color in that setting and work perfectly with the season as well. I can already see it! It will be gorgeous! Keep us posted, would love to see the end result!

These pics are amazing and I LOVE seeing the space transformed. (I never would have guessed carnations could look so chic!) We are considering Solas for both our wedding and reception - there's no space quite like it and we've really enjoyed working with Amanda, the private dining director. I was wondering if you could recommend an alternate accent color (instead of the purple) for a September wedding given Solas as the venue. I love the purple...but not sure my man would go for it. I love your design sense, desire to play off the space as much as possible (and use I'd love their existing inventory as much as possible. I'd love your thoughts! Hey Dina!
