Has anyone got any decoration suggestions for a barn wedding reception that mixes English and Indian styles? We really want the reception to reflect both our cultures but I'm not mad keen on the bright, rich traditional Indian colours. I'd like to stick with green & white if possible with a bit of silver thrown in.

My only ideas so far are making bunting out of ornate white & green sari fabric and using the same fabric as part of the tablecloth arrangement or maybe sashes on the chairs.

Anyone got any ideas they can add? Or am I being ridiculous trying to fuse these two things??

Look at this website some good ideas on it.http://www.weddingdecor.com/centerpiece.htm

No not ridiculous at all, in fact I co-ordinated a wedding back in May that was exactly this theme.

Lots of bright Pink, Orange, Purple and Blues, sounds awful but worked wonderful and the venue was the most quaintest english country house.

I love your idea of the green and whites and think this perfectly compliment your barn wedding reception. The bunting is a fab idea!! *Wish I had thought of that one :)*

Good luck with the rest of your planning
