If there’s one thing I cannot stand it’s crap carpets. And a lot of wedding venues seem to love crap carpets. No matter how beautiful the wedding venue, if it has a crap carpet I would have to write it off instantly. I believe, unless you style your wedding to fit with the dodgy decor it’s just going to ruin all the effort you poured into the vision for your dream day.
Case in point…

You could spend hours putting together a beautifully styled wedding and then the carpet goes and ruins it all!
Apparently there is a reason for the awful carpets with the loud patterns. It makes it easier to hide stains. I don’t think they’re talking about stains from wounds inflicted by upset brides, when they realise their wedding photos are going to look considerably less pretty, because of the crap carpet. I’m guessing they’re talking about red wine spillages and the like. Understandably it costs a lot to change a carpet. So just do away with them all together I say! What’s wrong with wood? Wood is beautiful and complements any colour choice…
Of course if you’ve completely fallen in love with the venue then the carpet could possibly be overlooked (perhaps have your wedding at night when it’s darker?), or covered. In my case it would have to be covered although I’d make this a deal-breaker. I’d want the venue to pay for covering the crap carpet or I’d be looking elsewhere…
Wooden floors, grass or sand. That’s what I’d want :)

P.S. Anybody else that would say no to a venue just because of the carpet? Hoping it’s not just me ;)
