(Closed) Which table numbers?

Our wedding colors are silver/grey, dark purple, and pale aqua (but I’m trying not to use the purple and pale aqua together too much- mostly using them individually with grey/silver).  We want the look and feel of the decor to be vintage romance with a touch of luxury.  (mercury glass, rich purple drapes for ceremony, maybe a loveseat/chaise lounge or two, and my dress is ivory lace)

I’m having a hard time picturing which table numbers work and which don’t and would really appreciate your opinions.  

Our centerpieces are the mercury glass one below, only our flowers will be dark purple and we’ll have several mercury glass votives on each table:

our table cloths will be one of the 2 below (not sure which yet, might be a mix):

this gives a good idea of our table (except our tablecloths will be one of the less plain ones listed above, our napkins will be dark purple, our chairs will be uncovered dark wood- I’m not sure about our plates/glasses yet):

Which table numbers work best with the feel we’re going for and our centerpieces/tablelcoths-

• stand alone or on a circular/oval base?  
• silver glitter? painted silver? grey (non-metallic)? dark purple?  pale aqua?

Thanks for all the help.  It’s funny, but we’ve been trying to use aqua sparingly as a “pop of color” (that’s even the name of our invite desing on minted) and you all seem to have picked up on that even when I forgot temporarily.  With so many ppl preferring that color (along with one of my bridesmaids), I’m realizing that I haven’t yet planned any aqua pop of color in our reception (except the cake and maybe something minimal on menus), so this can be the pop there.  

I was drawn to these types of table numbers when I first saw glitter silver ones, but agree with most of you that the aqua would pop more and works best w/our decor.  Can’t remember if I said, but it’s outside in a lush green area that has a kind of italian terrace feel (so glitter might not go with the venue or our vintage romance ambience so much).  I really hope that another bee uses the glitter table numbers soon though.

So we’re going to go with the aqua numbers on the oval/circular base.

@FLBlonde93:  thanks so much- very helpful to hear.  it’s hard to have the first time I ever think about table decor and place settings be for our wedding- very high stakes in money and the feel of the wedding, so I really appreciate the vote of confidence.
