Choosing the Linens

So I am at a bit of a loss right now. I have been busy selecting centerpieces, flowers, cake, food, the DJ and a million other things that will influence the big day but I am having a bit of a problem trying to envision it all together. Because everything is chosen in bits and pieces I feel like it is hard to get a handle on the final whole.
The table linens have been an ongoing issue. At first I was thinking of having my aunt help out because she works at a linen company. I even went to her office and looked at what they had and I absolutely fell in love with a pale ice blue tablecloth with a raspberry sparkle overlay. I fell in love until I found out what the price was. Even with my aunts employee discount it was 7 times the price of a cheaper local person that my hall suggested I use. Needless to say that although I appreciate my aunts thoughtfulness I would have to go with something more economical.
So I met with the hall vendor and she brought a bunch of choices. I narrowed it down to two but I am having a hard time choosing. It would be lovely to do a dress rehearsal of the big day, maybe then I would have an easier time trying to decide weather I should do white or pale blue table linens. Little decisions like this I know in the grand scheme of things do not mean a lot. Seriously no one is going to remember if they were blue or white 20 years from now, instead I hope they will remember what a beautiful wedding and fun time they had. So I finally made a decision I was going to use the pale blue linen, but when I went to ok it with Mr. Rogue he veto’ed my decision and said he wanted cream. Since I was ambivalent about the matter and could be swayed either way I let him have his way. Really most of the decisions have been mine and when he makes a comment I try to really listen to what he wants. Unless it is BRUTAL like inviting clowns to the wedding then I am fine with it.
