What Was I Thinking??

I planned for the bridesmaids to wear DB's pool and the tablecloths to be tiffany/aqua as well. It wasn't until about a week ago that I realized: the bridesmaids dresses are either going to clash with the tablecloths or they'll blend in with the tablecloths. I don't want either! What should I do? I was really set on having the blue tablecloths, but the bridesmaids have already bought their dresses (so I can't change their dresses to red). The wedding colors are tiffany/aqua and red. The centerpieces will have red roses. I have considered having the bridal party sit at white tables with blue sashes on their chairs. It would give the tables a sort of "reserved" look to them, while the others will remain the same. The head table will be white. Does anyone have any ideas? How can I fix this?

Two shades of blue shouldn't clash, but it doesn't matter if your BM dresses and tablecloths clash anyhow. 

As I told FMIL when she started talking about matching the tablecloths to the BM dresses, I'm not going to be asking for pictures of the BM dresses with the tablecloths anyhow - they don't need to match the reception decorations.

IF you are really worried about them clashing buy table runners in another color to tone it down a bit. I'm sure it will look great once everything is together on the table cloth and you dont see just a big colorful piece of fabric.

If anyone points out that your bridesmaids don't match the linens, I'll personally buy you a drink.

Personally, I would be more worried that my girls hate the color of the bm dress. I have yet to see a group of people look good in that color.

Well it's too late to change the color now. Plus, I have seen three out of the five bridesmaids try the dresses on in the pool color, and they've all looked fine.

It will be fine. Pool is a beautiful color & I've seen many many people look great in that color. I think it will turn out just fine. If you think about it how much of the time are they going to be actually sitting at the table anyways.

Thanks, @kayd. I'm beginning to feel much better about the whole thing. I just had a moment where I was freaking out.
