mirror Sconce Are you doing anything extra to decorate your reception hall?
My reception hall is very pretty, with mirrored ceilings, wall sconces, gorgeous carpet, and a shiny dance floor. However, my mom feels like it needs some more decoration other than just the floral centerpieces. What can I do besides draping (ceilings are too low) that'll tie together the elegant look of the venue? We are already putting low votive candles with scattered rose petals around the centerpieces. Anything I can put on the walls besides posters/pictures, which I think look cheesy? Any ideas? Thanks!
We aren't decorating our venue, except for table runners (which I am making myself) in dark cranberry red and votive candles on the tables; just to tie in our wedding colours.
Half the reason we booked out reception site was how beautiful it looks without any additional decor. It has exposed beams and stone walls and two fireplaces (one at each end). Plus it will be near Christmas so the venue puts garland on the fireplaces and there are candelabras that sit in each window. We love it because we have very simple decor tastes and this place is very simple, yet elegant and beautiful on it's own.
I think if you love the ambiance of the room, adding anything extra will be a waste of time nad money. You don't want to have to worry about decorating the hall the day of your wedding, and then it's extra work to clean up after the wedding. Your guests really won't notice the difference, especially if you think the hall is pretty on it's own.

Sheila, sheila, sheila…you have to make a choice tonight? You are worse than me and I am always making selections under pressure, which is not always a good thing.
First of all, don't sacrifice. Don't make a rushed decision to get something done, because it's on sale or it's in stock. You will regret it. Trust me on that.
Here's my quick answers…note that it is 11:30 at night and I just happen to be a night owl
You asked…Wouldn’t it look odd to have a fixture hanging from the ceiling over each mirror if we have canned lights?
My answer: YES, If he made the decision for canned lights, you pretty much need to go with wall hung fixtures to complement, unless there's a great location in the center or over a tub for a chandelier…I'm a sucker for chandeliers and I like them with sconces as well!
You said…He also proposed sconces (in lieu of hanging fixtures) but I don’t think this would work because because the countertop is L shaped with 2 sinks. When you enter the room, there is a sink directly to your right and the other one directly in front. There is very little wall space between where a mirror would go over the sink to the right and the wall. There would be room for sconces on both sides of a mirror directly in front. But I’m not sure we should have sconces next to one mirror but not the other. I have not picked out mirrors yet (we bought some but I think they may be too small for the wall space and L-shaped cabinets and countertop).
My Answer: If the can lights are placed over the sink, they will provide plenty of light and wall lights above a mirrow will possibly be too much. I like the sconces purely from an aethetic point and to provide a bit more lighting. I am not so stuck on treating everything equal (balancing out things) and possibly one sconce would be nice, but I speaking without photo's.
As far as mirrors, you probably are wanting framed mirrors for an updated look and something different, but don't forget that if you a did a wrap of counter to ceiling mirror, a sconce or two could be mounted directly on the mirror which can be kind of glam.
Please make sure that the electrician does everything on dimmers. Even over a tub…why? Why not…it give you options!

I like the sconces purely from an aethetic point and to provide a bit more lighting. I am not so stuck on treating everything equal (balancing out things) and possibly one sconce would be nice, but I speaking without photo's.
As far as mirrors, you probably are wanting framed mirrors for an updated look and something different, but don't forget that if you a did a wrap of counter to ceiling mirror, a sconce or two could be mounted directly on the mirror which can be kind of glam.
Please make sure that the electrician does everything on dimmers. Even over a tub…why? Why not…it give you options!
Good luck! let me know what you decide to do!
Sheila, sheila, sheila…you have to make a choice tonight? You are worse than me and I am always making selections under pressure, which is not always a good thing.
First of all, don't sacrifice. Don't make a rushed decision to get something done, because it's on sale or it's in stock. You will regret it. Trust me on that.
Here's my quick answers…note that it is 11:30 at night and I just happen to be a night owl
You asked…Wouldn’t it look odd to have a fixture hanging from the ceiling over each mirror if we have canned lights?
My answer: YES, If he made the decision for canned lights, you pretty much need to go with wall hung fixtures to complement, unless there's a great location in the center or over a tub for a chandelier…I'm a sucker for chandeliers and I like them with sconces as well!
You said…He also proposed sconces (in lieu of hanging fixtures) but I don’t think this would work because because the countertop is L shaped with 2 sinks. When you enter the room, there is a sink directly to your right and the other one directly in front. There is very little wall space between where a mirror would go over the sink to the right and the wall. There would be room for sconces on both sides of a mirror directly in front. But I’m not sure we should have sconces next to one mirror but not the other. I have not picked out mirrors yet (we bought some but I think they may be too small for the wall space and L-shaped cabinets and countertop).
My Answer: If the can lights are placed over the sink, they will provide plenty of light and wall lights above a mirrow will possibly be too much. I like the sconces purely from an aethetic point and to provide a bit more lighting.
