Weddingbee boards

The colors for my wedding are navy blue with touches of plum.  We're doing our reception in a giant tent on the bay and there is a lot of white in the room.  The tent is white, there are lights hanging from the ceiling wrapped in white tulle and the chairs are white.  I'd like to do navy blue linens, but we're doing lanterns for our centerpieces which are black.  My fiance thinks the black lantern on the navy will be kind of "blah," while I think the little flower vases we'll have on either side PLUS the light from the candle will make it lovely. 

I'm really fretting over this.  I want a dramatic table and can't imagine having white linens with all of the white already going on in the room.  Any and all advice would be welcome, or if you have pictures from a similar event, I'd love to see that, too!

@Treejewel19:

This popular picture is what I'm going for.  We got those lanterns in the picture from Ikea and plan on doing the little vases of flowers on either side (thinking something purple).

When you said something about organza, are you thinking just under the lantern, or like a runner?  This is so hard! 

@cameronwedding:  Plum linens, or plum accents?  I like the plum idea, not sure how to use it...
