Pom-poms...a good thing?

I haven't really talked much about my tablescape yet, truthfully, because I don't have a vision of how the tables should look. My decorator is looking after most of the decor at the venue, but not everything, because: a) I'm anal retentive like that, b) cost, and c) I want to feel as though I contributed to the feel of the day in some way.

My colour scheme is black and white with orange accents, as I've mentioned before. The tables will be covered with white linens and black (or possibly black and white damask) overlays and the centerpieces will either be manzanita trees or black candleabras. The chairs will be done up in black chair covers with orange satin sashes.

Sort of like this, but with orange instead of yellow accents, and no flowers:

Our decorator will be setting up all of these elements herself. Now, we're not doing flowers on the tables due to cost, but when I started thinking about the overall look of our tables, I felt they needed something. So, like any good bride, I turned to Martha for some DIY inspiration and found these:

Napkin pom-poms! I die. Martha provides step-by-step instructions for these cute napkin additions, and they're actually quite easy to make. YAY! I can contribute to the tablescape after all.

So now, my only dilemma is whether to make the poms in black or orange. I'm leaning towards black because I want to use orange sparingly (so that my wedding doesn't look too Halloween-y), but they'll look more like flowers if I do them in orange.

What do you think? Orange to add some colour to the table setting? Or black to stick with the overall vision?
