FH and I have short-listed 2 venues for our ceremony and cocktail reception. Though due to our lack of "vision" we are having major mental blocks in terms of how we would decorate either of them to pretty them up a bit. They both sort of speak for themselves and don't need much doecarting but apart from a few vases wtih simple flowers, what else can we do that will be simple of but have big impact?
The Rosehill:

-Its the bigger venue and maybe too big for 65 people? The curtains will be drawn even if during the day. Love the brick walls and sofas/tables.
The Richmond:

-The furniture package we get is most like photos 4 and 16. We love the 20 foot high windows, airy feeling, and how cute the place could look lit up at night by candles. It will be a cocktail event with both passed hors d'ouevers and food stations. Unsure about having a DJ or dance floor. The upper balacony doesn't really get used for much unless its needed for a DJ. Other than some furniture, the venue lets us use the frames along the side wall to put our own pics in.
We want to budget decor costs into deciding which venue to book bt haven't the foggiest as to how to decorate. The venue reps we talked to weren't much help bc they say the rooms don't need much decor as they speak for themselves. The only idea I have is a minimalistic flower thingie with a small glass vase, submeged flower with rocks at bottom of vase. Either way it'll have to be sometihng bright like a purple orchid.
Ideas?

If I'm not supposed to post links mods please remove. I'm a total noob when it comes to adding pics to posts. There are photo galleries at each of the venue websites:
