Hi I am needing a little help with the decor of this venue. It is a very industrial space (it used to be an old boiler room, now converted to a restaurant) with exposed brick, high ceilings, etc. We would be getting married in May 2011. What colors do you think would work best with this venue? And what color flowers/kind of flowers do you like with this space? Would you use candles? Also, would you do uplighting or any other kind of lighting to make it more wedding-ish, or leave it the way it is?

If the area is dark you want to put color and life into it.Think of your theme and visualize the creation you want to see. Take a picture of the space before you buy decorations and take the picture with you to give yourself ideas. Since its may I would use bright bold flowers and top lights.

I think that just about any color rose would be beautiful surrounded by exposed brick. Roses are always a beautiful romantic choice, too!

Your description makes the space sound dark. I would use white, or any other bright color would work really. Just not red, because of all the brick.
I dont know what kind of lighting the place has. Do the lights turn low in the restaurant? You could add some kind of mood lighting, or fairy lights in tulle over the dance floor. A few fairy lights really go a long way to create a romantic mood.
It sounds like a cool space. You should not need to do much other than centrepieces and the lighting. Good luck with it.
