Overlay sizes

So I'm about to order my linens and I'm doing chocolate brown polyester table cloths with ivory organza overlays. If I use 72" square overlays for the 60" round tables and the 90" square overlays with 72" round tables, will that look okay? I'm only having the tablecloths gow down 3/4 of the way so it would make sense for the overlays not to drape too much as well. But I just can't envision it. Also do those colors go well? We're doing neutrals with pops of green and turquoise. Ugh... I hate this part!

  • That sounds pretty!
     I'm not sure about the linen sizes for my tables either, so I'm just planning to order one set at first. I'm going to try it out on the right size table and make sure I like the look before buying a ton of tablecloths and overlays.

    <div>We're having the caterer supply disposable (good quality mind you but still disposable) plates, cups, serving ware, and napkins so it will be standard white and clear stuff. We're having a fairly casual wedding so that stuff doesn't matter too much I just don't want it to look too, too bad. =P</div>
