Festive Silver Sparkle Or Elegant Black Velvet

So many decisions!  New Year's Eve we have tickets to a black-tie debutante ball at City Hall in Vienna. 

We arrive and receive a welcome cocktail followed by a full-on happy hour.  The Mozart/Strauss Orchestra plays for our enjoyment and the Vienna Ballet performs before dinner (I hope they do numbers from the Nutcracker!).  A four-course dinner is served before the 2018 debutantes - in their white satin dresses - paraded out for a dance.  Then we get to dance!  At midnight, we will head out to the balcony and watch fireworks over the city.  We get a midnight snack and then will dance the night away to a 80s/90s/00s band.  OMG!


In prep, I bought a long forest green velvet gown (side slit and keyhole back)...but what to wear with?  Choices are festive silver sparkle or elegant black velvet. 



I'm leaning a little toward the black velvet - it will be cold and showery, possibly snowy, and I'm not so keen as to wear strappy sandals in that weather.  I have six days to decide.  

Your thoughts?
