Embossed Velvet
Holiday party table decor?

I am having a holiday party and the table will be set buffet style but elegant. The flowers will be long pine branches with magnolia leaves and white roses. The dishes are ornate embossed glass with gilded gold and plum and aqua colors.
I would like to put some kind of cloth on the table to cover up the different levels that I will be creating but velvet is not only expensive but doesn't seem practical. Any suggestions on what I can do instead? Something to cover up the (tupperware or whatever) things that I will be using as levels.
I was thinking of throwing some flower petals and mirror squares on the cloth too.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I think you're on the right track with the fabric, but it doesn't have to be velvet. go to your local fabric store and check out all they have. I would suggest a taffeta (it has a sheen, drapes nicely, and is used mostly for linings in coats or as dress fabric)
ask the clerk to give you swatches of the colors you might be interested in, and take them home to compare with your dishes. go with two or three colors to add interest.
