I like the idea of having loads of colours and don’t like the idea of just one or two colours (too boring) so I’ll probably sit on the fence and go with option B. Although, if the rest of the decoration are quite neutral, I’ll go with option A to just to put a lil more colour to the place.

I think a mixture of all three, but I'm a sucker for the red (it's one of my wedding colors). .-= Brit's most recent blog post: black & white =-.

I think all three, although I’d pick one as an “accent” and use it much less frequently than the other two.

Sucks about the $350, but I’m actually pretty nervous about climbing up a 20 foot ladder to hand the lanterns at our venue. OK, it probably won’t actually be me on the ladder, but you know what I mean.

I personally love the idea of incorporating more colors. (Maybe not a ton more, but a few.) Someone suggested purple — I love that idea. I don’t think you’d go wrong with sticking to the color palette, but I love bright colors. But then my kitchen resembles a carnival scene color-wise.

I love the 3 you have picked out, with your inspiration board, and Kathleen’s idea to put a neutral in too (although if it was white, they would disappear against the white tent)

I definitely say all three…

Given that the pink and green are the same intensity of color I would stick with those as the mian backdrop and accent with the red. You could do either little pops of red throughout or concentrate in one area of the tent to highlight an element like the cake, head table or dance floor.

-OR-

I would do all one color- probably the red because it would give a nice glow to the room.

Something about only two colors feel matchy matchy to me, the third color gives it an elevated look.

I agree with Abbie! The 3 colours you picked out go really well together and some patterned lanterns here and there, sticking to those 3 colours, would add some variety instead of all solids.

I would actually stick to two colors – it definately feels busy to me adding more. But then again, I have a pretty classic, monochromatic sense of style ! :-)

Thats insane about the extra $350! Those little hidden fees will get cha.

But I LOVE the lanterns in the tent idea! Soo chic.

I would stick to three colors and use two of them more frequently. Since all the lanters also differ in size I think it would be too busy otherwise. Two colors, like in the picture, feels like it is not yet done. But I agree with Melissa, go with what you like! It is your wedding! : )
