Keep in mind that your final choice depends also on the dinnerware you want to use. Even if I like the pattern itself, Mod Suede is out of the question for your theme- way too modern looking. I like the idea of Melissa about the burlap. It adds textures and you can dress it up if you like. I am bringing you another suggestion a farm toile like La Petite Ferme Lake.

It's such a nice contrast with a rustic setting and can be made country chic with the right accessories. Toile is awesome! Have you considered toile?

You have LOTS of parties in your future for the green plaid and the mod swirl...but this pattern stands out for this special occasion.

What about using solid linens and then buying a couple yards of a few coordinating DS fabrics, cutting them into strips and using them to tie around your napkins and flatware? I, too, had a countryish wedding (outdoors in VT) and we used white tablecloths with a few different colored napkins. This worked great for us since we bought our flowers from a flower farm and arranged them ourselves and we didn't know ahead of time exactly what might be blooming. From the choices above, I like the yellow. Even though Sept. is technically fall, it's likely that it will be pretty warm still and it just seems more summery and celebratory than the others to me.
