A Vision for Our Tables

We're trying to get a idea of our tablescapes, and I need some input from you all. As you know, we've chosen the royal blue pintuck linens. {be still my heart}

So here's the new information:
Our chairs will be dark brown fruitwood, like the one below Gold chargers at each place settingSo here's my question: what color cloth napkins? I've heard so many different opinions from family members, friends, and my beloved Weddingbee forums. Allow me to refresh your mind of our color palette: royal blue(cobalt), gold, teal, with accents of apple green. Basically, a peacock feather. Aah, lovely. Here's some of our ideas for napkins: apple green, white/ivory, mocha, or teal. Please give me any, and all, of your input.

My vote goes like this: First choice apple green, second choice ivory. I think the teal might not stand out on the dark blue tablecloth.

I like the ivory or maybe a golden ivory. I would have to see the apple green to get a feel for if I would like it. It might be too busy. Where are you getting your linens from?

Here's my thoughts. Take it for what it's worth. I think it'd be really cool to alternate colors - your two favorites! I would use the apple green and teal ones. For example, if you have 8 people at a table, 4 would have apple green and 4 would have teal - just to spice things up.

take a look through this website http://acreativemint.com because she has TONS of inspiration boards that are not wedding necessarily related. Apple green sounds great and maybe look at a persimmon option :)

I'm going to vote for the Mocha or Ivory :) I'm also guessing that the napkins will be folded on the chargers? That might make a difference as to what looks best! I think teal will be too much blue and apple green might make too many bright colors.

The apple green would be fabulous! It would give some contrast to the table and bring together the florals, linens, and charger. I agree that the teal would blend into the blue. :)

Apple Green, Apple Green! Are you going to decorate with peacock feathers? That would be so pretty!

I've been meaning to add my two cents.
What color flowers are you going to have? You got a lotta-lotta colors here, girl. It scares me a bit.

Royal Blue table linens (yes, yes - pin tuck), gold chargers and dark brown chairs. I think if you go apple green or teal, it's going to look a lot like Carnival, Rio-style. If you've got the dark brown chairs, I'd go mocha on the napkins and use the apple/teal and possibly the gold as accent colors elsewhere.
However, this is all coming from the ivory, sandalwood, chocolate brown girl. :)
